THERE is a strong chance of a wetter than normal June and July with the weather pattern likely to persist well into winter.
Six fast moving troughs near the longitudes of South Africa, the southwest Indian Ocean, Western Australia, New Zealand, the south Pacific, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean are expected to bring widespread rain to southern and eastern Australia, including the Darling Downs, the Bureau of Meteorology says.
Cold front events with potential to bring rain are expected from now until late June and into July.
The bureau forecasts possible showers for Warwick this weekend, and Stanthorpe on Monday.
A ridge extends across eastern Queensland. A high in the Great Australian Bight will move slowly eastwards and strengthen during the coming days, reinforcing the ridge across the state. Moisture levels will gradually increase in most parts of the Darling Downs over the next seven days.
Tomorrow on the Darling Downs and in the Granite Belt it will be partly cloudy. Winds easterly 20km/h to 30 km/h. Overnight temperatures will fall to around 8 degrees Celcius with daytime temperatures reaching between 19 and 22 Celcius.
