Not a bad one from QLD's state outlook: "The high over the Bight will move eastwards over the weekend and push a new surge of S/SE winds initially along the east coast and will ultimately re-invigorate the S/SE steam along much of the east Queensland coast. "

from tonites QLD BOM: Mostly fine. Only isolated showers over the northeast tropics. Some high extending across southern border parts again overnight and tomorrow. A cold night over most central and southern districts with some frosts. Moderate to fresh westerly winds over the southeast easing this evening. Light to moderate winds otherwise.

Interesting to note the forecast for tomorrow here in QLD. SOUTHEAST COAST DISTRICT Mostly fine. Cloudy at first with one or two morning about the Islands clearing during the afternoon. Light to moderate SE winds with local afternoon seabreezes. One or 2 mornings?

Hi all, I must say that I used to laugh at these a lot before I started doing forecasts. I've proof-read a few of my forecasts before I've sent them off and seen a few doozies that I myself have done!  It's so easy to make mistakes, especially when you're trying to do forecasts for several regions across Australia! Of course - as long as both sides can laugh about them, then that's good AC

Hey X I noticed that too - I like the idea of the morning clearing by the afternoon (especially near the islands). At least they can't get it wrong I wonder if the morning cleared by the afternoon inland though ? Regards Simon
