WEATHER UPDATE: LONG WEEKEND FORECAST

Long weekend is looking ok for most. A southerly change is going to move up the coast quickly Saturday morning triggering a burst of showers as it moves north.

The showers will clear early for the Central Coast and Hunter arriving late for the Gold Coast. Remaining fine inland.

The good news is it will help push the cloud band that stole most of the weeks sunshine to the north.
The patchy showers are set to linger across the long weekend on the Northern Rivers and SE QLD.
There is another inland rain event ready to develop. Rain will start to fall in the west on Monday spreading to the coast during the early part of next week.

Out on the water beware of the southerly change. The safer day offshore will be Sunday especially in the south.
