07 Feb 2019 / North Queensland, Australia
The monsoon trough extends from the Gulf Country across the base of Cape York Peninsula to the east tropical coast near Ingham, and should remain slow-moving through the remainder of today (7 February).
A tropical low lies on the monsoon trough over northwest Queensland and will move east-northeast through much of today, before likely shifting into the Coral Sea on tonight or tomorrow. To the north of the low, a fresh to strong monsoonal flow persists across northern Queensland, leading to strong winds through the Gulf of Carpentaria. Heavy falls in thunderstorms remain possible near the monsoon trough and tropical low but these should gradually clear offshore during Friday as the low moves into the Coral Sea. A surface trough is expected to move eastwards across the state over the weekend with a slight to medium chance of showers and thunderstorms accompanying its passage.
