THE eight day forecast continues to improve with widespread 50mm rain predicted for virtually all of Queensland.
Yesterday the eight day forecast show about half of Queensland scoring 50mm rain. Today the eight day forecast show about 75 per cent of the state in line for season building falls.
Bureau of Meteorology modeling shows almost all areas receiving 50mm except for the south east region and some parts of the west.
Queensland's south east region and north eastern NSW is inline for cumulative 25mm totals through to March 10.
The best of the rain for the Northern Territory and far south west Queensland is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Despite the forecast rain, BoM says large areas of Queensland, the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia are likely to be drier in March.
BoM's monthly climate outlook says there is a 60-70pc chance of drier conditions in Queensland and the NT, and up to 75pc chance in northern WA.
More rain over most of eastern Australia will almost certainly put more upward pressure on the already skyrocketing cattle market.
At the close of sales yesterday, Meat and Livestock Australia's benchmark Eastern Young Cattle Indicator stood at an unprecedented 731c/kg dressed.
