Weather Situation

A ridge extends across northern Queensland waters from a high [1027 hPa] centred near New Zealand. The ridge will weaken over the coming days, leading to a weak pressure gradient. A trough slowly crossing interior Queensland is forecast to reach central Queensland waters on Thursday, with a ridge developing behind it.
