Queensland's ridge will be hanging around for a few days before taking a break over the weekend and then coming back even stronger next week, while a possible trough up north could team up with the ridge to bring some much-needed rain to the northeast. Get ready for a southeasterly change sweeping in on Sunday night in the southwest, making its way over to the southeast by Monday evening.
In NSW, get ready for some scorching hot weather thanks to a high pressure system bringing a hot airmass over the state, followed by a cool change with a cold front and trough on the way to give us some relief.
