A cool change is sweeping into Queensland this weekend after days of hot weather. The east coast will see scattered showers, with 2 to 10mm of rain expected and more than 10mm likely in isolated pockets, mostly on the north tropical and south-east coasts.
Cloud cover will keep temperatures slightly below normal along the coast. The south-west will warm to the mid-30s by Sunday as winds shift north-north-east, while the rest of the state will see low to mid-20s on the south-east coast and mid to high 20s in central and far north regions.
