00:00Hello from the Bureau, happy Monday this is the National Weather Forecast.

00:03We're going to take a look at Tuesday the 5th of August and after the excitement from the weekend

00:08where we saw rain, wind, hail and snow for many areas it's a much more sunny and settled few

00:13days ahead. We've got high pressure dominating so really if you live north of Sydney or north of

00:18Perth the story is you're in for a fine few days. In the south we've still got a couple of fairly

00:23weak cold fronts gliding by that will bring us a few showers and some gustier winds to a couple

00:28of areas but nothing major not looking like severe weather across the country in the next couple

00:33of days. Let's go around the states and after that flurry of excitement with the snow down in the

00:38south over the weekend we have returned to clear skies and sunshine across Queensland. Temperatures

00:43are going to be quite chilly in the morning but those daytime highs pretty much in line with the

00:48seasons. We've got 25 as the max in Brisbane, a nice 27 in Rockhampton and out in the west we're

00:54between 23 and 27 as well. Across New South Wales the rain, wind and snow from the weekend has also

01:01cleared up although there's still some large waves along the east coast. The overhead conditions will

01:06be nice and bright we've got 21 degrees and mostly sunny in Sydney and there is a few spots of rain down

01:12in the south around the snowy mountains, the southern tablelands but potentially Canberra and the ACT

01:18could see a little shower around midday. Wagga Wagga may be the same but the rainfall totals are very very

01:23low just a millimetre or two at most. A little bit of rain in Victoria through the morning sort of

01:30first thing in the day clearing Melbourne by maybe 7am clearing the eastern part of the state by 9 or 10am

01:36and then it's brighter and drier after that but we might see the odd light spot of showers or drizzle

01:42here or there particularly in the mountains. Temperatures are mild for the time of year perhaps

01:47marginally above average 17 in Melbourne and most of our towns and cities are between 14 and 17 as well.

01:54Across Tasmania we also see a bit of rain here through the morning as per usual the heavier falls

01:59will be up in the north and in the west where we could see 20 millimetres or so across Hobart in the

02:04southeast much lighter rainfall totals expected maybe just a millimetre or two in the morning then

02:10clearing up becoming bright and dry for the second half of the day with near seasonal max temperatures.

02:17And there's a couple of chances for a very light spot of rain around the south coast of South Australia

02:22on Tuesday early in the morning probably before dawn then it dries up and then we've got another

02:26little band of showers arriving through the evening and into the night but they're both

02:30only bringing small drops of rain a millimetre or two here or there and if you live anywhere away

02:36from about 50km of the coast then your chance of rain is very very minimal it will be a clear settled

02:43day for that portion of the state. A few light showers hug the coast of western Australia in the

02:49west and the south could really clip Perth or anywhere around this corner across to Esperance

02:54but again the rainfall tellies will be very low just a millimetre or a few millimetres at most. Further

03:00north and further inland a dry day with some partial cloud cover it will be quite chilly though

03:05morning temperatures well below average and those daily maximum temperatures also on the cool side of

03:11what we expect at this time of year. Can't say the same up here though no such chilly conditions it's a nice

03:17bright beautiful day across Australia's north on Tuesday. Temperatures under that sunshine 32 degrees in

03:24Darwin 30 in Catherine 31 in Broome and low 20s down around Australia's centre. So to see what else the

03:31weather has in store for the week ahead you can find your local forecast at the Bureau's website or app

03:36thanks for watching and have a lovely day.
