Weather Situation
A high northwest of New Zealand extends a weakening ridge along the east coast.
A tropical low will linger inland near the southwestern Gulf of Carpentaria for
the next few days, enhancing rainfall across far northwestern Queensland and
assisting the monsoon trough to form near the base of the Top End towards the
middle of this week. Another trough moving into western Queensland will push
slowly move east during the early days of next week, drawing deep tropical
moisture southward and enhancing shower and storm activity cross most of the
state. The trough will reach southeastern Queensland on Tuesday and linger
until Christmas Day, before shifting northward later in the week.
