A surface trough with cooler southerly winds behind it will move eastwards beneath the rainband. Moist winds from the tropical seas should push onto the northeast coast and increase showers east of the ranges, with some isolated storms, rain periods and moderate falls possible. Scattered afternoon and evening storms over Cape York Peninsula, the Gulf Country and the Northern Goldfields districts. Isolated showers and drizzle patches over the central to southeast coast. Sunday The thundery rainband should extend from the northwest across central districts, and then over the southeast of the state. Moderate to locally heavy falls are possible about the central districts. Widespread showers or rain with moderate falls about the north tropical coast east of the ranges. Scattered afternoon and evening storms again over Cape York Peninsula and the Northern Goldfields. Monday The thundery rainband will persist from the northwest across central districts and over the southeast of the state, as another upper trough moves over New South Wales. Moderate to locally heavy falls possible over central districts associated with a surface trough, but easing during the day. More isolated showers about the north tropical coast east of the ranges.
