More cloud and isolated showers could be in store on Wednesday west of the range, before clearing on Thursday.
The state's south-east corner is in for strong winds and a possible "short burst" of rain this afternoon, as several regions enjoy their Royal Queensland Show public holiday.
Ekka winds arrive like clockwork, with possible thunderstorms also in the mix
Westerly winds, showers and a drop in temperature are expected in Brisbane as the first full week of the Ekka kicks off, with potential thunderstorms to hit the city by Monday afternoon.
The Bureau of Meteorology’s Harry Clark said a trough moving through south-east Queensland on Monday would bring a sudden shift in the weather.
“It will have a line of showers and thunderstorms – potentially quite gusty ones – as it moves through. And behind it, quite brisk and freshy westerly winds,” the senior meteorologist said.
The “Ekka winds”, common in south-east Queensland at this time of year, could reach 40km/h to 60km/h.
