Prepare yourselves, as a trough is making its way off the central Queensland coast today. Meanwhile, a mighty high is chillin' in the Great Australian Bight, flexing its ridge muscles over most of the state. This high might decide to take a little trip to the Tasman Sea by Tuesday or Wednesday. Keep an eye out for a potential trough forming over the Northern Territory next week, bringing some cloud cover and possible showers to the far west of Queensland. And just when you thought it was safe, another trough is planning to saunter across southern Queensland later next week. It's a wild ride, folks!

Saturday, 14th September
Well, folks in the Gulf Country, Northern Goldfields, Upper Flinders, Central West, North West, and Channel Country Districts can expect some rather high temperatures today. It's going to be a scorcher out there, so make sure you've got your sunblock and a big hat handy. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and try not to melt into a puddle before the day is over.
Sunday, 15th September
Looks like some parts of Queensland are in for a bit of a damp day, with showers scattered about here and there. Don't forget your umbrella if you're heading to the Cassowary Coast or Daintree - you might need it! And watch out for some fog in the southeast - visibility might be a tad limited. But fear not, my friends, for the sun will be shining in most other places. Just be wary of those sneaky south to southeasterly winds causing a bit of a ruckus along the east coast and far southwest. And if you're out west or in the interior, be on high alert for those dry and gusty winds - fire dangers are lurking. Temperatures will be keeping us on our toes, with some areas near or below average and others slightly above. And if you're in inland southern or central Queensland, you might even catch a glimpse of some patchy frost - winter is definitely coming! Stay warm, stay dry, and stay safe out there, folks.
Monday, 16th September
Prepare yourself for some scattered showers along the east coast, particularly around K'gari, the Central Coast, and the northeast tropical coast above Townsville. Don't be surprised if those showers become more widespread around the Cassowary Coast and Daintree. Keep an eye out for increased cloud cover in the far west, with isolated showers popping up northwest of Mount Isa. And hold onto your hats, because there are some strong and gusty southeasterly winds blowing up a storm north of Gladstone. In addition to the weather drama, dry and gusty winds are creating high fire dangers in parts of the west and interior. As for temperatures, they're playing it cool - generally near or below average. But watch out for those minimum temperatures, especially inland in southern Queensland. They're dipping well below average, with a chance of patchy frost in the southern and southeastern interior. So, stay warm and dry out there!
Tuesday, 17th September
Prepare for a smattering of showers on the exposed east coast, with a chance of scattered rain on the northeast tropical coast north of Townsville. Keep an eye out for widespread showers around the Cassowary Coast and Daintree, while isolated showers may pop up northwest of Mount Isa. Inland southern Queensland can expect mostly sunny skies, but elsewhere will be partly cloudy. Watch out for fresh to strong southeasterly winds along the northeast tropical coast. Maximum temperatures will hover near or below average, while minimum temperatures will dip below average in inland central and southern Queensland, potentially leading to patchy frost in the southern and southeastern interior regions.

North Tropical Coast and Tablelands
Looks like Mother Nature is feeling a bit moody today, with a chance of showers in the morning. Make sure to hold onto your hats with those east to southeasterly winds blowing at 25 to 35 km/h. Temperatures will drop overnight to between 14 and 20, before rising to a pleasant 22 to 29 during the day. So, grab your umbrellas and raincoats, it might be a wet one out there!
Herbert and Lower Burdekin
Get ready for a thrilling mix of clouds and possible showers up north, while the rest of us can enjoy the near-zero chance of rain. Winds will be playing a fun game of musical chairs, starting from the east and ending up in the northeast by early afternoon. Temperatures will drop overnight to a balmy 15-18 degrees, before reaching a pleasant 25-30 during the day. Remember, always dress appropriately for the weather - you don't want to be caught off guard by a sudden gust of wind!
Central Coast and Whitsundays
Looks like Mother Nature is feeling a bit indecisive today, with a medium chance of showers along the coastal fringe and a slight chance elsewhere. Don't worry, though, those showers are becoming less likely as the evening rolls around. Expect some breezy east to southeasterly winds at a brisk 25 to 35 km/h. Overnight, temperatures will be dropping to a cool 14 to 17 degrees, so you might want to grab an extra blanket. Daytime temperatures will be reaching the mid to high 20s, so you can shed those layers and enjoy some sunshine. Just remember to bring an umbrella, just in case Mother Nature changes her mind again!
Peninsula
There's a slight chance of a shower up north near Weipa, but don't get your hopes up for rain anywhere else. Expect easterly winds blowing at a brisk 25 to 35 km/h. Temperatures will drop overnight to a chilly 17 to 22 degrees, before climbing back up to a scorching 30 to 36 during the day. So, grab your sunscreen and stay hydrated, unless you're up north near Weipa - then maybe pack an umbrella just in case.
Gulf Country
Get ready to bask in the glory of the mostly sunny skies today, with a touch of southeasterly winds at 15 to 25 km/h. But wait, there's more! Early in the morning, these winds will shift to the east, then back to the south by late afternoon. Overnight, temperatures will drop to a cool 17 to 21 degrees, while daytime temperatures soar into the mid 30s. Mother Nature is really giving us a run for our money with this one!
Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders
Get ready for another scorcher, folks! Mother Nature is turning up the heat with easterly winds blowing at a brisk 25 to 35 km/h. Expect overnight temperatures to drop to a cool 13 to 18 degrees, before skyrocketing to a toasty 28 to 34 during the day. Time to break out the sunscreen and stay hydrated, because it's going to be a hot one out there.
Capricornia
Looks like we're in for a day of sunshine, with winds blowing from the east to southeasterly at a brisk 20 to 30 km/h.

Central Highlands and Coalfields
Well, it appears we will be graced with sunshine today. Winds will start from the southeast at a speed of 15 to 20 km/h, gradually shifting to the east and southeasterly at 20 to 30 km/h in the morning. However, fear not, as they will calm down by the evening. As night creeps in, temperatures will drop to a cool 9 to 13 degrees, while the daytime will bring the warmth of the mid to high 20s. So, prepare yourself for a day of sunny skies and shifting winds, as we navigate through the whims of the weather.
Central West
Prepare for another day of blistering sunshine with winds that will either cool you down or make you feel like you're in a wind tunnel. Expect temperatures to drop overnight, giving you a chance to break out those cozy blankets, before soaring back up to a scorching 30 degrees during the day.
North West
Looks like Mother Nature is feeling a bit lazy today, so we've got sunny skies and some southeasterly winds blowing at a speed of 25 to 35 km/h. Overnight, temperatures will drop to a balmy 12 to 17 degrees, while during the day, we can expect some scorching heat in the low to mid 30s. So, get ready to sweat it out!
Channel Country
Well, it appears we'll be graced with some sunshine today, accompanied by southeasterly winds blowing at a brisk 25 to 35 km/h. As the night approaches, temperatures will plummet to a cool 11 to 14 degrees, only to rise again during the day to a toasty 26 to 31 degrees. So, bask in the sunlight while you can, before the inevitable chill of the night sets in.
Maranoa and Warrego
Looks like we're in for another day of the sun making its grand appearance, accompanied by some light southeasterly winds. These winds will have a little morning dance, starting off light before picking up speed in the morning. Overnight, temperatures will drop to a brisk 7 to 11 degrees, but fear not, as the daytime will bring us the sweet relief of mid to high 20s temperatures. So, grab your sunscreen and shades, because it's going to be a toasty one out there!
Darling Downs and Granite Belt
Get ready for some frosty mornings over the Granite Belt, folks! The winds will be doing a little dance from east to southeasterly at a speed of 15 to 20 km/h, before deciding to take a nap before dawn. Overnight temperatures will be dropping to a chilly 4 to 9 degrees, so make sure to bundle up. Daytime temperatures will be a bit more forgiving, reaching the low to mid 20s. Time to break out the sunscreen and the winter jacket - it's going to be a wild ride!
Wide Bay and Burnett
Expect some scattered clouds in the sky today, with a small possibility of a light shower near the coast. Don't worry, you probably won't need an umbrella anywhere else. The winds will be blowing from the southeast at 20 to 30 km/h, but they will calm down by the evening. Temperatures will drop to a cool 7 to 13 degrees overnight, so make sure to grab a blanket. During the day, it will warm up to the low to mid 20s, giving you the perfect excuse to enjoy some outdoor activities.
Southeast Coast
Expect some clouds today, with a slight possibility of a shower hugging the coast - but don't bother bringing an umbrella anywhere else. Winds will start from the south and then switch to the southeast, before finally giving up and becoming practically non-existent by the evening. Temperatures will dip overnight, hitting between 8 and 13 degrees, before rebounding to the low to mid 20s during the day. It's all part of the delightful dance that is the weather - always keeping us on our toes!
