Storms continue to stay just west of the Tablelands. This pattern is set to continue well into the weekend as steering winds are from the south.

There still remains a slight risk of a shower or rogue storm pushing on the western/ southern parts of the Tablelands over the coming days.

Temperatures will remain in the low to high 30's.

As expected, a very active afternoon inland of the east tropical coast, with widespread showers and thunderstorms.

If you are lucky enough to get under a storm, you could expect heavy rain, CG lightning, gusty winds & there is also a small chance of hail.

Currently, the area & surrounds of Mt Surprise, Mt Garnet, Innot Hot Springs and Chillagoe are expected to be impacted.

As the afternoon progresses and into the evening, the focus shifts further north & slightly east, with parts of the western/ southern Tablelands could be in the firing line for a storm or shower. Most storms are moving generally north, but stronger cells could move on a N to NE trajectory.

Hot 🥵 and mainly dry conditions are set to prevail across the North & Far North of Queensland over the coming week.

The current weather synopsis has remnant cloud and possible storms associated with a trough across northwestern Australia.

A high pressure system in southwest Australia is directing low level cloud into the region, while an upper level disturbance is producing additional cloud.

A trough is extending through western Queensland & is currently moving east, destabilising the environment to its north and east.

Across North Queensland, particularly along the east coast, we are likely to expect mainly dry & hot conditions with only the slight risk of a brief shower.

As we move inland, an increase of showers and storms encroaches the western parts of the Atherton Tablelands, with scattered storms across the NW and into the GoC.

Today, there will be an increased risk of isolated thunderstorms inland north of the about Herbert/ Burdekin. Coastal ar...

Warm to hot conditions are likely to persist well into next week across the far north, with thunderstorms staying around the GoC & inland of the NE coast for the foreseeable future; isolated showers are possible elsewhere.

⚡⚡THUNDERSTORM ALERT⚡⚡

As predicted isolated strong storms cells are currently developing west of Ravenshoe and to the south of Herberton. These intense cells are likely to be accompanied with heavy rainfall, CG lightning, hail & gusty winds, moving in a general north to NNE direction and could impact townships to their north over the coming several hours.

Another potential day of strong thunderstorms, particularly across the Tablelands and further west inland.

Yesterday, there was a small but intense storm that started south of Heberton, moved north (opposite to the upper level wind direction) and dumped over 50mm of rain. There was also, hail and squally winds. Today could be a repeat but as with thunderstorms, the really intense ones will be fairly isolated.
