We've had a big rain system cross through the northwest and NT over the past few days. That lies over Queensland now and continues there for the weekend (without the significant falls that we saw further west).
We currently have a big weather system crossing the southeast. This delivered huge rainfalls to eastern NSW, but it can't spread far west thanks to blocking high pressure. We're in the last part, and the rain clears away early tomorrow.
Cyclone Errol is heading towards the northwest coast, and should make landfall over Easter. The rain from this one isn't heading to Queensland like we saw last time, that produced huge areas of flooding, that is still evident today with six catchments in Major Flood.
Rain is contracting northeastwards through Queensland with a quiet period ahead for much of the state. There are still nearly countless flood warnings, and the rain that has fallen will take a long time to work its way through our river systems (but that does mean those further south will at least have river rises to look forward to) - but in terms of new rain on the horizon… there is little of that.
