00:00Hello, Miriam at the Bureau with your national weather forecast for tomorrow, Thursday the 12th

00:04of September. Taking a look at tomorrow's weather map, we can see that we've still got a west coast

00:09trough in play. It's hidden along the west coastline, but it's still there, interacting

00:14with this high pressure system over the Bight, and continuing to produce cloud and areas of rain

00:19and thunderstorms across inland parts of Western Australia. But we have fairly active weather in

00:25the east as well. A cold front will move through today, then continue up the New South Wales coast

00:30during tomorrow, interacting with this trough through Queensland to produce showers and

00:35thunderstorms across much of northeast New South Wales and southeast Queensland through the day

00:40tomorrow. Storms in those areas may tend severe at times, so it'll be a good day to keep an eye on

00:45the radar and keep an eye on the Bureau's warnings page for any warnings that are issued. Let's take

00:50a closer look now, starting with Queensland. So patchy morning fogs once again in the east, but

00:56the main focus is on the southeast and southern inland, where we're looking at showers and

01:01thunderstorms developing through the day. Now severe storms are possible across parts of the

01:05Darling Downs, potentially producing damaging wind gusts, large hail or locally heavy falls

01:10through the afternoon and evening. Fort Brisbane will have a few showers developing, possible

01:15thunderstorm atop of 26 degrees. For New South Wales, patchy showers through much of the eastern

01:21and central districts, with the chance of thunderstorms across those central parts of the

01:26state and in the northeast. There will be a risk of severe storms across parts of the northeast as

01:31well. Now rainfall totals through New South Wales tomorrow will be fairly modest in most areas and a

01:36bit patchy, but across the northern coastlines, the northern tablelands and northwest slopes and

01:42plains, we might see some more moderate falls with storms through tomorrow. For Sydney, we're looking

01:47at a showery day, top of 20 degrees, with some cooler southerly winds moving in. For Canberra,

01:53showers atop of 17 degrees. Down to Victoria now. We're going to see showers in the east early, but

01:59they'll be clearing out as the day goes on, leaving us with mostly dry conditions by the afternoon.

02:04Cloud in the south, but sunnier conditions in the north. For Melbourne, it'll be a morning shower or

02:08two, top of 15 degrees. Down in Tasmania, a dry start there too, with a few showers moving across

02:14the west as the day goes on, but it won't be as wet, as cold or as windy as what we've seen over

02:21the past few days. Hobart is looking at a partly cloudy top of 16 degrees tomorrow. For South

02:27Australia, there is a risk of some patchy morning frosts through parts of the agricultural districts,

02:32even pushing back towards the Flinders, but a mostly dry and sunny day will follow, a little

02:37bit cloudier in the southeast. Adelaide, the capital city, is heading for a sunny top of 19 degrees

02:43tomorrow. For Western Australia, dry and sunny weather across our western and southern districts,

02:50driven by that west coast trough. Perth is heading for a sunny top of 27 degrees. We will see patchy

02:56cloud, rain and isolated thunderstorms across those inland parts though, mainly impacting the southern

03:02interior tomorrow. Finally, for the Northern Territory, more cloud, showers and possible storms

03:07across the far southwest of the Lasseter district, and we can see the impact that's having on the

03:11temperatures too, with Uluru heading for a top of just 23 degrees. But it'll be much drier and warmer

03:17elsewhere across the state, especially pushing up into the north. We are looking at elevated

03:22fire dangers once again through the Darwin and Adelaide River fire weather district. Darwin

03:26itself heading for a sunny top of 36 degrees tomorrow. Now you can find the detailed forecasts

03:32for all your areas via the Bureau's website and the BOM social media. Have a great day and we'll catch you tomorrow.
