Queensland police scrap specialist unit providing support for domestic and family violence cases
Change comes after 100-day review that found domestic violence case management was not ‘core’ police business
The Queensland police service plans to disband a specialist unit that provided statewide support for domestic and family violence cases, prompting concern from frontline workers that the loss of an “important resource” would place women at greater risk.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
403 AM EST Fri Dec 26 2025MARINE
North to northeast winds are resulting in advisory conditions south of the bay bridge early this morning. These winds should diminish shortly after sunrise. The northern waters could see a wintry mix this afternoon into the early overnight hours. By late tonight, a shift to northerlies is expected with some channeling effects possible at times over the wider waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Small Craft Advisories may be needed for this surge during the day Saturday. High pressure will provide lighter winds Saturday night.
Southerly winds stay below SCA criteria throughout the day on Sunday, before increasing overnight as a low pressure system approaches from the west. Advisories will likely be needed.
Southerly flow channels ahead of a strong front through early Monday with gusts around 25 knots likely. Strong cold air advection will result in blustery conditions in the wake of a front late Monday into Tuesday, with gales possible.
TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING
Some locations may reach action stage tonight as low pressure moves off the coast. Annapolis will come closest to minor flood. After a brief dip in northerly winds Saturday, tides will rebound in southerly flow Sunday into early Monday. Annapolis may near the minor flood threshold again.

403 AM EST Fri Dec 26 2025SYNOPSIS
High pressure will hold firm over Quebec while low pressure dives from Ohio to off the Virginia coast through tonight. High pressure will briefly gain control Saturday before a strong frontal system moves through late Sunday into Monday. Another weaker front may approach by the middle of next week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
1031 mb high pressure over James Bay is pushing southward, with a cold air damming pressure pattern already evident in the isobars east of the Appalachians. While high level clouds are increasing, the shortwave trough responsible for driving the low pressure system later today is still in the upper Midwest. There are some spotty light warm advection shower across the Ohio Valley. While some of these will approach the western CWA toward sunrise, they likely won`t produce much precipitation and eventually evaporate as they encounter the dry low level air east of the mountains.
East of the Allegheny Front, not much measurable precipitation may arrive until this afternoon. The passage of the deepest moisture is actually somewhat brief and coincident with the mid level trough passage between mid afternoon and mid evening. Combined with better forcing being displaced to the north, it may be difficult to precipitate long enough, hard enough, to saturate the very dry low level airmass. High precipitation amounts continue to be along the I-68/I-70 corridor and along the Allegheny Front, with a secondary increase east of I-95 as the surface low develops off the coast. Without heavy precipitation, it may be easier for more locations to rise above and stay above freezing for the duration of the event. The quick erosion of the surface high also allows winds to become southerly rather quickly. It`s possible southern portions of the existing advisory don`t get much freezing rain...the main threat is on the ridges. The Ice Storm Warning may also be marginal at best (around one quarter inch) due to the lower precipitation amounts and potential for warm air to take over by evening. The only area that may need to be monitored is western Pendleton and all of Highland Counties, where some light freezing rain could fall depending on the timing of precipitation vs. temperatures. The window for sleet may narrower as well as much warmer air aloft moves in not long after precipitation begins.
Precipitation will wind down in the late evening to early overnight hours, lasting longest over northeastern Maryland, as the low pulls off the coast. While low level moisture/clouds will linger, the ensuing northerly wind is not the most favorable for drizzle except perhaps along the Allegheny Front. Most areas will remain above freezing overnight, though some places near the Pennsylvania border may hover right around 32.
