Weather for the weekend of 27 - 28 August

Updated 26/8/2011

A trough is forming south from the Gulf, with a further trough forecast off the coast on Saturday. Rain is expected between Friday and Sunday nights as the troughs interact to form a low on the SE Queensland coast. The low should move away towards NZ quite quickly, but this may not happen until Sunday morning.

The coastal showers of the last few days have mainly not crossed the range, with only very light falls occurring in the last few days (Dalby 0.6mm). NOAA is forecasting about 15mm over the next couple of days, mostly on Saturday, but some clearing showers are possible on Sunday. It should however be flyable on Sunday, particularly later in the day.
