Brisbane Faces Weekend Rain as Cyclone Threat Looms
5 Mar
Summary
- South-east Queensland can expect showers until Tuesday, with potential severe storms.
- A developing weather system off the north coast has a 35% chance of becoming a cyclone.
- Rainfall totals between 5 to 40 millimetres are forecast for Friday through Monday.
Brisbane and surrounding areas in the south-east of Queensland are forecast to experience rain throughout the upcoming weekend and into next week. Showers are expected to persist until Tuesday, with a possibility of severe thunderstorms developing, particularly on Sunday.
The unpredictable weather is being influenced by a developing system off the coast near Cooktown. Forecasters suggest this system could bring increased tropical moisture to Brisbane in the coming days. There is a 35% chance the system will intensify into a cyclone before it reaches the coast on Friday, though significant rainfall is expected regardless of cyclone formation.
