A ridge is covering a large portion of the state, with a weak trough expected to pass through southern Queensland before moving off the southeast coast. Following this trough, the ridge will strengthen and spread across the rest of the state, remaining in place for the majority of the upcoming week. This weather pattern suggests stable and dry conditions for much of the region, with clear skies and mild temperatures expected. Residents are advised to be mindful of any potential fire hazards due to the dry and stable conditions. It is recommended to stay updated on weather forecasts and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during this period of high-pressure systems dominating the area.
