Showery days ahead after week of sunny Queensland skies
Scattered showers will fall on much of Queensland's east coast this weekend, with the state's south-west also in for overcast and potentially stormy weather heading into next week.
Queensland residents can expect a week of showery weather following a week of sunny skies. The state's east coast will experience scattered showers this weekend, with the most rain expected along the Sunshine Coast, where localised falls of up to 20 millimetres are forecast for Saturday and 10mm for Sunday. The Bureau of Meteorology predicts cloudy and overcast skies for much of the state, with winds coming from the south-east off the sea.
Overnight minimum temperatures will be near average in the south-east and Cape York, while below average elsewhere. Fog and morning frost are also possible in certain areas. While the maximum temperature for the week is expected to be around 22 degrees, it will be on the cooler side for August. A separate weather system is expected to bring increased showers and thunderstorms to the state's far west later tomorrow and early next week.
