intermittent rain rather than heavy downpours
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast cloudy skies and patchy showers across much of Queensland this weekend, prompting fans attending NRL Magic Round in Brisbane to pack raincoats and umbrellas. Meteorologist Morgan Pumpa said a trough in the Channel Country would bring storm activity to western Queensland, while onshore winds are expected to generate coastal showers along the east. In south-east Queensland, including Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, rainfall totals are likely to remain below 5 millimetres through Saturday, with between 1 and 10 millimetres possible on Sunday. The showers are expected to be scattered and inconsistent, meaning outdoor events should continue with only brief interruptions. Above-average temperatures are forecast to persist across inland regions before cooler conditions arrive early next week, when more substantial rainfall is expected on Monday and Tuesday. Strong wind warnings are also in place for the Peninsula and Cooktown coasts in far north Queensland, with coastal residents and travellers urged to monitor weather updates before heading outdoors.
