Transcript

00:00Hello from the Bureau with your national weather forecast for tomorrow. That's Thursday the 21st

00:05of August. So we'll start off by looking at tomorrow's weather map and what really stands

00:09out is this wet weather across eastern parts of the country. Now this is being driven by above

00:15average sea surface temperatures that are sitting just off the coast and being drawn onshore by a

00:20trough. While down in the Tasman Sea this high pressure system extends a ridge into the southeast

00:26and then through the interior bringing generally dry and settled weather while out west a trough

00:32and cold front bringing cooler than average conditions and hit and miss showers. So let's

00:38take a look around the country taking a closer look starting with Queensland. We've got these

00:43showers and areas of rain and isolated storms through southeastern parts. Now there is a risk

00:49of severe thunderstorms bringing heavy rainfall about the Darling Downs and Granite Belt and also

00:54about the southeast coast. The showers will be far more hit and miss through central parts and also

00:59about the northeast tropical coast but as we head further inland dry and sunny conditions. For Brisbane

01:06a cloudy day with showers and a top of 22 degrees. For New South Wales it's going to be a very wet day

01:13through eastern parts with widespread moderate to locally heavy rainfall expected through the northeast

01:19quadrant of the state. Storms are possible right along the coast and as well about the northern inland parts

01:26and we can see that wet weather starts to contract eastward as the day goes on. As we head further inland

01:32though dry and partly cloudy conditions. For Sydney a cloudy day with rain and the risk of a thunderstorm

01:40storm a top of 17 degrees while for Canberra a shower or two and a top of 15. It'll be a very different

01:46story for Victoria however with clear skies and light winds leading to very chilly start with morning

01:53frost and fog patches through central and western parts. There is a risk of a light shower through eastern

02:00parts of the state but otherwise clearing to a warm and sunny day with daytime temperatures between two to six

02:06degrees above the august average. For Melbourne a cold start followed by a warm and sunny day top of 20 degrees.

02:14For Tasmania also generally clear and settled apart from just a few showers developing through the northern

02:21ranges daytime temperatures well above average for Hobart a sunny day in a top of 19 degrees.

02:28For South Australia also generally dry and settled with some morning frost patches just through inland parts

02:34of the east but we can see this cold front and cloud band pushing into the very far west later during

02:40the day bringing some hit and miss showers there. For Adelaide cloud increasing and a top of 20 degrees.

02:48Heading out west where it's onshore flow bringing showers right along that west coast while a cloud

02:54band tapping into some tropical moisture pushes these hit and miss showers into the southeast while possible

03:00hail down about that very far south west coast. For Perth a shower or two is possible a top of 18 degrees.

03:09Heading up into our tropical north clear dry and sunny weather we're expecting a top of 33 degrees

03:15for Darwin. Much colder mornings as we head further south through inland parts of the northern territory

03:21for Alice Springs a top of 25. So if you're wanting to know more about what's going on in your local

03:28area you can head to the bureau's website app or social media otherwise we'll see you again next time bye for now
