Weather influences

• A high pressure system in the Great Australian Bight extended a ridge over most of the state and extended a dry and stable air mass over the state. A upper level trough lied over the interior of the state
• On the 2nd the high pressure system remained slow moving and maintained the ridge over the state. A upper level trough shifted eastwards across southern Queensland extending a unstable air mass over south-eastern Queensland
• On the 3rd a cold front and surface trough shifted eastwards across the south and extended a burst of cold, dry air over much of the state in its wake. The high pressure system remained in the Great Australian Bight with fine weather. The upper level trough also cleared off the east coast
• The cold front shifted eastwards off the east coast and into the Tasman Sea on the 4th which extended to a deep low further south over the Tasman Sea. A strong high pressure system remaining over the Great Australian Bight in combination with the deep low extended a dry and cold air mass over much of the state with a cold day over southern Queensland and gusty and fresh west to south-westerly winds
• On the 5th the cool and dry air mass remained in place as the high pressure system remained slow moving and combined with the deep low shifting east-wards over the Tasman Sea
• The 6th saw a strong high pressure system over south-eastern Australia that extended a dry air mass over the state with wind flow tending onshore
• The high pressure system remained on the 7th over south-eastern Australia and extended a ridge and moist onshore wind flow along the east Queensland coast
• On the 8th an upper level trough shifted eastwards over the state extending a cloud band eastwards reaching eastern Queensland later in the day. This combined with the ridge of high pressure and the onshore winds remaining in place
• The upper level trough cleared offshore early in the day on the 9th clearing the associated rainfall off the east Queensland coast. A high pressure system shifted eastwards into the Tasman Sea and extended a ridge across much of the state
• The high pressure system became slow moving in the Tasman Sea and over eastern Australia on the 10th maintaining a ridge over the state and wind flow over the south east
• On the 11th a slow moving high pressure system over eastern Australia extended a ridge over the state and a weak pressure gradient over the southeast near the high pressure system
• The 12th saw the slow moving high pressure system shift slowly eastwards into the Tasman Sea and became slow moving on the 13th in the Tasman Sea. This maintained the ridge along the east coast and a weak pressure gradient over the southeast of the state near the high pressure system
• On the 14th a high pressure system in the Tasman Sea maintains a ridge along the east Queensland coast with light winds over the south-east of the state. A surface trough shifted eastwards into the southeast of the state while weakening producing modest instability
• On the 15th the slow moving high pressure system maintained a ridge along the east Queensland coast. A surface trough shifted into the south-eastern region and became slow moving producing some instability
• The slow moving high pressure system on the 16th remained in the Tasman Sea and maintained a ridge over much of the state and onshore wind flow. A surface trough shifted eastwards through southeast Queensland while extending further north and produced unstable conditions with showers and thunderstorms
• A surface trough and upper level trough cleared off the southern Queensland coast on the 17th and into the Tasman Sea, with rainfall clearing early with its passage. Cool and dry south-westerly winds in the wake of the trough and driven by a high pressure system shifting eastwards over southern Australia that extended a dry and stable air mass.
• On the 18th a trough and low pressure system shifting east over the Tasman Sea extended slack winds over the southern coastal waters. A high pressure system shifted further east over the Great Australian Bight and extended a cool and dry air mass over most of the state
• The high pressure system shifted further eastwards on the 19th into the Great Australian Bight and extended a firm ridge across the state with a stable air mass, as the surface trough shifts further east off the east coast
• The 20th saw the high pressure system extend a ridge and stable conditions. A surface trough near Fraser Island remained weak with a embedded low brining some showers to the exposed southern Queensland coast
• A large high pressure system continued to slowly shift eastwards over southern Australia on 21st and 22nd extends a ridge through Queensland and a cool and dry air mass across the state with stable conditions
• On the 23rd the high pressure system shifted east into south-eastern Australia and maintained the cool and dry air mass across the state. Winds consequently started to tend onshore along the east Queensland coast with some increasing moisture
• On the 24th the high pressure system shifted east into the Tasman Sea and extended moist onshore winds along the east Queensland coast. Weak instability along the southern coast produced by an east-ward upper trough and a coastal trough
• Along the east Queensland coast on the 25th moist onshore wind flow continued as the large high pressure system shifted eastwards over the northern Tasman Sea and a upper level trough brought weak instability over southern Queensland. A weak trough lied off the southern Queensland coast
• On the 26th the high pressure system slowly shifted eastwards over the Tasman Sea with increasing onshore wind flow. Also a upper level trough shifted east through the region producing instability
• On the 27th and 28th the onshore flow and coastal instability remained as the large high pressure system shifted eastwards across the Tasman Sea
• The high pressure system shifted further east towards New Zealand and extends a weakening ridge along the east Queensland coast, with moist onshore flow persisting
• On the 30th a slow moving high pressure system near New Zealand extended a weakening ridge along the east Queensland coast with reducing moisture.
