A robust westerly airflow between weather fronts is causing spirited showers to tumble over South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, and southeast New South Wales, while the Alps and Tasmanian highlands enjoy a frosty snowfall. Meanwhile, southern Queensland and central Australia are experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures, thanks to hot, dry winds being ushered eastward by these same fronts. In the southwest of Western Australia and far northern Queensland, residents can expect a splash of onshore showers.

National 4 Day Forecast
Windy.com NEW ACCESS 4 Day Accumulated Rain and Synoptic
Friday: In most parts of the state, the weather will be clear with a few isolated showers hanging around the east coast above Ingham. Expect those showers to be more scattered along the Daintree coast and the east Peninsula coast. Winds will be light to moderate blowing from the east to southeast in northern Queensland, while the southwest will have light to moderate breezes coming from the west to northwest. Elsewhere, you can look forward to gentle variable or northeasterly winds. Just your typical day in the Sunshine State!
Saturday: Today, you can expect sunshine and surprisingly warm weather in most parts of the state. Don't be surprised if you encounter a few showers along the east coast north of Townsville, and scattered showers around the Peninsula east coast north of Coen. If you're in the east from about Gayndah to Atherton, watch out for some patchy morning fog – you might feel like you're in a mystery movie! Oh, and keep an eye out for possible fog near the southern Gulf coast – it's like the weather is playing hide and seek with you.
In the southeast Queensland, you can expect some fresh gusty northwesterly winds – Mother Nature is really blowing up a storm there! The temperatures are going to be well above average in the interior south of Townsville and in the southeast. It's so hot that we might break some records for daytime temperatures in the northwest, central interior, and southeast Queensland. Other places will have temperatures above average too - looks like everyone's getting a little more heat than they bargained for!
Sunday: Imagine most parts of the state will be basking under the sun, but keep an eye out for some sneaky showers up north near Townsville. Don't be surprised if you encounter some fog in the morning around places like Gayndah and Atherton, and near the southern Gulf coast. The temperatures will be sky-high in the interior south and southeast, while the rest will also be feeling the heat above average. Stay cool, folks!
Monday: Expect lots of sunshine in the state, but watch out for a few random showers on the east coast. Hold onto your hats because there's a blustery wind change coming to southeast Queensland. It's going to be pretty toasty down south and in the southeast. Everywhere else, temperatures will be higher than normal.

A big blob of nice weather up north of New Zealand will make sure the east side of the state enjoys some good vibes for a bit. But hold onto your hats, a trough is sneaking in from the southwest on Friday to crash the party over the weekend. It's bringing warm winds that'll have you sweating in places you didn't know could sweat until early next week. Just when you thought it was safe, another high is planning to gatecrash from South Australia with more dry heat on Monday. By Tuesday, it might slide over to the Tasman Sea, blowing in some softer breezes for eastern Queensland.
Min - Max - Rain
Regional Round-Up
North Tropical Coast and Tablelands:
Partly cloudy skies with a touch of fog for the early risers in the south, so keep an eye out for any lost ships. A slight chance of a coastal shower but astronomically low chance anywhere else, so bring your umbrella just in case, or for decorative purposes only. Light winds will gradually turn into a gentle east to northeasterly breeze, perfect for kite flying enthusiasts. Temperatures will dip overnight into the range of 12 to 20 degrees, ideal for cozying up in bed, while daytime temps will soar to a balmy 25 to 31 degrees, so pack your sunscreen and keep your ice cream close at hand.
Herbert and Lower Burdekin:
Fog might make you feel like you're in a mysterious movie scene at dawn. Expect a mostly sunny day where you can finally bring out your favorite sunglasses. Winds will start out light but will channel their inner eastward energy by afternoon. You can bid farewell to those breezy vibes in the evening. Temperatures will play a game of see-saw, dropping to cozy levels overnight and soaring during the day, so be prepared for some thermal whiplash.
Central Coast and Whitsundays:
Pack your sunglasses, but don't forget your umbrella! Expect fog in the morning, followed by a mostly sunny day. Winds will start off light, shift to the northeasterly side, then calm down by evening. Temperatures will range from 12 to 15 overnight and soar to a warm 27 to 32 during the day.
Peninsula:
Prepare your umbrellas if you live near the east coast, as there's a decent chance of showers in the morning and afternoon. Elsewhere, though, you might need to do a rain dance because the chance of rain is as slim as a runway model. The winds will start as gentle as a lullaby, shift to an easterly breeze of 15 to 25 km/h, and then calm down like a zen master in the evening. Nighttime temps will drop to levels where snuggling with a blanket is tempting, while daytime highs will sizzle hotter than a beachside BBQ at 31 to 37 degrees.
Gulf Country:
Expect a scorching day with temperatures climbing into the mid to high 30s, perfect for baking cookies on your car dashboard. Light winds will shift from the north to northeasterly at 15 to 20 km/h, but by evening they'll decide to take a breather, perhaps tired of all that direction-changing. Overnight, temperatures will drop to a somewhat manageable 15 to 19. It's as if the weather can't decide if it wants to be hot or cool, just like a fickle friend.
Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders:
Expect a bright and sunny day with a side of fog in the southeast during the morning, so watch out for those pesky ghosts. Winds will start from the east to the northeast at 15 to 20 km/h, then switch to the north to northeast in the morning before taking a nap in the middle of the day. Overnight, temperatures will drop to a cozy 12-16 degrees, while daytime highs will sizzle in the low to mid 30s. Don't forget your sunscreen and sunglasses!
Capricornia:
Patchy morning fog clears the way for a potential smoke haze, adding an element of mystery to the morning. A sunny afternoon invites you to bask in the warmth, while winds playfully shift from gentle to northerly, then calm down by evening. Overnight, temperatures dip between 12-15°C, providing a cool, soothing environment, while daytime highs peak at approximately 30°C. Make sure to enjoy the day with carefree breezes and a touch of whimsical weather surprises.
Central Highlands and Coalfields:
Expect a sunny day with patchy fog and a potential for smoke haze in the morning; light winds will transition to a gentle north to northwesterly breeze before calming down in the afternoon. Overnight, temperatures will drop to around 13 degrees, while daytime highs will reach the balmy low to mid 30s. It's a mixed bag weather-wise, so be prepared for some variety throughout the day!
Central West:
Get ready to fry like an egg in a sizzling hot afternoon with temperatures soaring to the mid to high 30s during the day and cooling down to around 14 at night. Expect a gentle breeze morphing into a somewhat confused northwest to northeasterly wind at 15 to 20 km/h in the morning, only to settle down and become light by the evening. No need to pack an umbrella for this sunny day - rain isn't on the guest list!
North West:
Expect a scorching day as temperatures rise to the mid to high 30s, be glad for the light morning winds shifting to a more northerly direction at 15 to 25 km/h before calming down later on, prepare for a mild evening as overnight temperatures dip to 13 to 17, and keep an umbrella handy as there won't be any rainfall but always expect the unexpected when it comes to the weather!
Channel Country:
Prepare for a wild weather rollercoaster ride: Sunny skies with scorching daytime temperatures around 40 degrees, where you'll be sweating buckets and wishing for an ice bath. Hold on tight to your hat as northerly winds whip at 30-45 km/h, only to do a dramatic pivot to fierce northwesterly gusts of 35-50 km/h by midday, before settling down to a gentler north to northwesterly breeze of 15-25 km/h in the evening. As night falls, brace yourself for overnight temps dropping to a slightly more manageable 14-17 degrees. And in case you were dreaming of rain, keep dreaming – not a drop in sight!
Maranoa and Warrego:
Tomorrow's weather: A hot and sunny day ahead with light winds in the morning switching to a northerly direction and picking up speed by midday, giving your hair that windblown look you've always wanted. Overnight temperatures will drop to cozy levels, perfect for snuggling up, before skyrocketing to the mid to high 30s during the day - cue the melting ice cream cones and desperate search for shade.
Darling Downs and Granite Belt:
Wake up to potential smoke haze, but don't worry, the afternoon brings sunshine and warmth; light winds escalate to a breezy northwesterly 20-30 km/h. Nighttime cools down to 9-12 degrees while the day sizzles in the low to mid 30s - perfect weather for both cozy nights and hot days!
Wide Bay and Burnett:
It's shaping up to be a sunny day with a side of smoke haze in the morning – might want to avoid any impromptu magic tricks. Light winds will gradually ramp up to north to northwesterly speeds of 15 to 25 km/h, so hold onto your hats! Temperatures will plummet overnight to a cozy 11-15 degrees, while daytime highs will hit the low to mid 30s, so you might want to have your sunscreen ready and your ice cream cooling in the freezer.
Southeast Coast:
It's going to be a sunny one with a side of smoke haze for our inland pals, so don't forget your SPF and maybe a pair of shades. Windy shenanigans are expected as they transition from light breezes to a delightful west to northwesterly dance before settling down to a tamer north to northwesterly waltz. Night owls can cozy up with temperatures dipping to a snug 11-15 degrees, while daytime dwellers can expect a toasty 30-35 degrees. Now, let's hope for no unexpected rain drops to crash this weather party.
