00:00Hello from the Bureau, this is the National Weather Forecast with a focus on tomorrow,

00:04which is Thursday the 7th of November, and the heat we've been talking around across

00:09the country is going to continue for parts of Queensland and New South Wales on Thursday,

00:13generally much cooler across the rest of southern Australia, still warm in the north.

00:18We also have a couple of weather features rolling through, bringing showers and storms

00:22to parts of the south and east of the country.

00:25Another hot day for Queensland, clear and sunny statewide at first, with high fire danger

00:30for many areas.

00:32We will see the risk of showers and storms move into the southwest around Birdsville,

00:35perhaps about lunchtime, and then across the course of the afternoon, move across southern

00:40areas through the Maranoa and Warrago, through the Darling Downs, maybe getting to western

00:44parts of Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

00:47Anyone in Bundaberg, or further north than that, should see conditions stay clear, sunny

00:51and warm.

00:53A weather feature crossing New South Wales on Thursday will bring the risk of showers

00:56and storms to almost all areas, starting off in the west.

01:00That means the morning in the east is getting windy and very, very warm, temperatures up

01:04into the high 30s around Maitland, mid 30s for Newcastle, high fire danger, possibly

01:09tending to extreme fire danger around parts of the northern slopes.

01:14As we get into Thursday afternoon, the risk of showers and storms spreads across the eastern

01:18half of New South Wales, and that includes coastal spots like Sydney, Newcastle and

01:22Wollongong.

01:23There is even a chance of severe thunderstorms from the Hunter area up to the Northern Rivers

01:28area, with damaging wind, large hail and heavy rain, all a risk at this stage.

01:34A cool morning and often cloudy across Victoria, a possible spot of drizzle here and there

01:38through the morning as well, but most places will see temperatures climb into the 20s.

01:43In the afternoon we'll see a band of showers move in from the west, hitting those western

01:47districts first, and then crossing central and eastern places late afternoon or in the

01:51evening.

01:52Not a lot of rain, 2-5mm for some in the west, just a spotty millimetre here or there for

01:57other places.

01:58A fairly benign, settled day across Tasmania, certainly cooler than what it was on Wednesday,

02:04partly cloudy skies through the morning as well.

02:06One or two afternoon showers here or there through the second half of the day, very hit

02:10and miss, a lot of people won't notice them, and any showers that do fall, probably less

02:14than a millimetre of rain, so not having a big impact aside from maybe being a slight

02:19annoyance if it lands on your washing line.

02:22Across South Australia we'll see a cold front, bring some showers between the Eyre Peninsula

02:27and Mount Gambier through the morning or early afternoon.

02:29That will push through and clear to become sunny once again, perhaps 2-5mm as that rolls

02:35through.

02:36A shower or storm possible in the north east of the state, it's much cooler but still clear

02:40out to the west.

02:42And below average temperatures continue for the southern half of Western Australia, 2-4

02:46degrees below what's usual for this time of year, partly cloudy skies for some as well,

02:51a high of 22 in Perth.

02:53Sunny and much warmer further north, particularly around the Pilbara, where some spots will

02:57reach 40 degrees.

02:59Afternoon showers and storms bubble up around the Kimberley and we'll see that line stretch

03:03across central Australia, maybe impacting parts of southern NT through the second half

03:08of the day as well.

03:09Further north, hot temperatures continue around here, there might be a little bit of

03:12relief from the heat due to an afternoon shower or storm around the Top End Coast or the Tiwi

03:18Islands.

03:20And as usual for this time of year, quite a lot of weather happening around the country,

03:23that's what we see during spring, so to make sure you know your detail, head to your local

03:27forecast on the Bureau website and app.

03:29Thanks for watching and have a great day.
