National
Looks like a high in the Tasman Sea is playing hard to get, maintaining a ridge over the state - classic high pressure move. But don't worry, this high will slowly weaken and drift east by the weekend, giving us a chance to catch our breath. A trough and weak cloud band will be making their way across southern Queensland on Sunday and Monday, bringing a touch of drama to the otherwise sunny skies. The trough will reach the southeast on Monday and stick around on Tuesday, giving us all something to talk about around the water cooler. But fear not, a new high will swoop in from southern Australia on Monday, taking over the Tasman Sea by Tuesday and restoring order to our weather patterns. The high will hang around for a bit before deciding to drift east mid next week - because who doesn't love a good game of weather hide-and-seek? And just when you thought the weather couldn't get any more exciting, a new trough may make an appearance late next week, keeping us on our toes and our umbrellas handy. Ah, the joy of weather forecasting - always keeping us guessing.
