Satellite and Radar
What?s satellite imagery?
Satellite images are images captured by satellites at regular intervals (usually hourly) and used by meteorologists to forecast the weather. The three types of satellite imagery displayed on Weatherzone are infrared images, visible images and water vapour images. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages.

A very wet weekend for southeast Qld, northeast NSW
11:48 AEST A prolonged rainfall event is set to bring large totals to parts of NSW and Qld from Saturday, with possible heavy falls and flooding. A low-pressure system in the Coral Sea, a deepening coastal trough and persistent easterlies will bring moisture-laden air into southeast Qld and northeast NSW will bring days of rainfall to the region. While there is not a drop of rain on the radar over southeast Qld and Northeast NSW on Friday morning, the mass of cloud associated with a low in the Coral Sea will enhance rainfall over the weekend.
