Four Day Forecast | QLD Region and City Round-Up

National Synoptic Situation

Synoptic Situation for

QLD:

Get ready for some scorching temperatures and stormy weather ahead, folks! A ridge is here to stay for a while, bringing with it a cloud band that will make its way across western Queensland and the southern and central interior. But don't get too comfortable, as this band will weaken by Wednesday. As if that wasn't enough, a high will be making its way into the Tasman Sea on Wednesday, drifting northeast over the next few days. And just when you thought it couldn't get any more exciting, a trough may decide to crash the party in southern Queensland come Sunday. So, stay safe out there and keep an eye on the skies. Mother Nature has a way of keeping us on our toes, so make sure you're prepared for whatever she decides to throw our way.

NSW and ACT:

Prepare yourselves, dear mortals, for a thrilling ride as a cold front and its trusty sidekick, a trough, make their way through western NSW. Unsettled conditions will soon be upon us, starting in the west and making their way to the central districts by Tuesday. But fear not, for Wednesday brings a twist in the tale as the system shifts to the northeast, unleashing a gusty southerly change along the southern half of the coast. Hold onto your hats, for a high pressure ridge is set to follow this front, with another change predicted to make its grand entrance later in the week. Brace yourselves for the stormy seas ahead, and remember to stay safe in the face of these tempestuous weather patterns.

VIC:

Get ready for some wild weather coming your way in Victoria! A low pressure trough and cold front are making their grand entrance, starting in the west and making their way across the state throughout the day. But wait, there's more - a high pressure system will swoop in on Wednesday, followed by a warm and sticky northeasterly airstream on Thursday. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, a broad low pressure trough will drift through on Friday. So batten down the hatches, folks, and stay safe out there in the stormy heatwave!

SA:

Well, it seems like we're in for a rollercoaster of weather this week. A trough will be causing mischief in the western and central parts of the State on Monday, then making its way over to the eastern districts overnight. Meanwhile, a high pressure system will be sauntering over from the Bight on Tuesday, eventually settling over the Tasman Sea by Wednesday afternoon. But wait, there's more! Another trough will be making its grand entrance in the far west on Thursday, before gallivanting over to the west and south on Friday, and then slowly making its way across the northeast. And just when you thought it was safe to come out, a high pressure ridge will be casually strolling across the south over the weekend. With all these weather shenanigans going on, it's important to stay safe and be prepared for any storms or heatwaves that may come our way. So buckle up, folks, and hold on tight as we navigate through this wild weather ride!

WA:

Hold onto your hats, folks! A pesky high pressure ridge is sauntering in from the west, making itself at home in the western Pilbara. This means we can expect some lovely southwesterly winds to grace us with their presence. Just a friendly reminder to stay safe out there, as storms and heatwaves may be lurking around the corner.

TAS:

Well, looks like we've got a weak ridge building today, trying to flex its muscles before a cold front crashes the party on Tuesday. Then we've got a high moving in from the Bight, ready to show off its moves over Bass Strait on Wednesday. But don't get too comfortable, because a trough is sneaking up from the west on Thursday. And just when you thought it was safe, that sneaky trough is making its way over the state on Friday. With all this action happening in the skies, it's important to stay safe and be prepared for any storms or heatwaves that may come our way. So grab your umbrellas and sunscreen, folks, and buckle up for a wild weather ride!

NT:

Hold onto your hats, NT residents! A pesky trough is causing quite the ruckus with hot and sticky winds blowing in from the northwest. This is leading to some stormy weather with showers and thunderstorms popping up all over the place. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, a ridge is set to saunter over eastern Australia, while a cheeky little trough might just make an appearance near the west coast of the Top End or the Timor Sea. So, make sure to stay safe out there and keep an eye out for any incoming storms or heatwaves. It's always better to be safe than sorry!

In terms of temperatures, it looks like some parts of the state will be cooler than usual, particularly in the northwest, northern interior, and over the North Tropical Coast. But don't get too comfortable, as things will be near average elsewhere. So, keep an eye out for any stormy weather and make sure to stay safe out there.
