Weather for the weekend of 28 - 29 January 2012

Updated 27/1/2012

The monsoon trough is moving south, well into the continent and is expected to lie from Exmouth to Townsville on Saturday. A high will ridge up the east coast on Sunday, pushing the trough north but bringing moist on shore winds to south east Queensland. Widespread rain is forecast for Friday, gradually breaking up to showers on Saturday and Sunday.

Whilst the coastal area has received very heavy rain this week, the Downs have received lesser falls in the east than the west. Dalby has received 24mm.
