The weather in the Gulf Country to the Herbert and Lower Burdekin is like a stubborn houseguest - it will weaken and slowly move northwards over the weekend, while a high off southwestern Australia is spreading its influence like a controlling parent, strengthening and stretching its reach over western and southern Queensland as it moves over the Bight. Keep an eye out for a potential new weak trough in the far southeast on Monday or Tuesday, like a surprise visit from that distant relative you never really wanted to see.
