00:00G'day from the Bureau. With your national weather forecast around the country.
00:05For Saturday, the 31st of January. And as we've been talking about all week.
00:10It has been that record heat through inland parts of South-Eastern Australia.
00:14And Saturday will mark...
00:15...the final day of temperatures in the mid to high 40s there.
00:18Elsewhere, we'll see...
00:20...things slightly warming up along the New South Wales coast.
00:23Still continuing the mild conditions.
00:25For this time of year along the Queensland coast.
00:27Widespread rain and storms across our tropical...
00:30...north thanks to that monsoon low up there.
00:32But also note this trough line through here.
00:34That's...
00:35...that's going to be bringing cooler air to parts of Victoria and South Australia on Saturday.
00:40And it's going to sweep right across the South-Eastern parts of the country on Sunday.
00:44Well over...
00:45...over in the West we'll be watching this hatecroft deepen.
00:47And that's going to bring hate to much of Western Australia.
00:50...over the weekend.
00:51And there'll be concern for our fires that are going across northern parts of...
00:55...perth.
00:56But let's look at all of that in more detail.
00:58Firstly in Queensland where we...
01:00...seeing those temperatures pretty mild for this time of year.
01:03Mild to warm across our coastal areas.
01:05Thanks to that onshore South to South-Easterly wind.
01:07Could see a few showers around the Capricornia and Central...
01:10...the coastal coast there.
01:11Further north we'll see that heavy rain and storm activity...
01:13...really restricted to the peninsula.
01:15...and the Gulf Coast on Saturday.
01:17Well the north tropical coast we'll just see a few isolated...
01:20...hours but it will stay dry and partly cloudy.
01:22While through inland areas heat will really be the...
01:25...big story once again where we see another day of temperatures...
01:28...in the mid to high 40.
01:30...through South-Eastern parts of Queensland.
01:32While South...
01:33...sorry, South-Western parts of Queensland.
01:34While South...
01:35...sorry, South-Western parts of Queensland.
01:35...will see a much cooler day compared to...
01:40...with temperatures getting into the high 20s to low 30s.
01:43Brisbane looking at 31 degrees.
01:45...and partly cloudy skies.
01:47Moving down into New South Wales and as we've been saying...
01:50...all week cooler conditions for our coastal areas...
01:52...and very hot for our inland areas.
01:55...with temperatures once again soaring into the mid to high 40s...
01:59...for our western...
02:00...and low 30s for our coastal areas as well.
02:03We'll also be watching thunderstorms...
02:05...developing through South-Eastern New South Wales on Saturday.
02:09And also we could...
02:10...we'll see some dry thunderstorms along the Murray River...
02:12...and in southern New South Wales as well tomorrow.
02:14So we'll be...
02:15...watching that closely.
02:16While the coast will have another warm and sunny day...
02:18...great for any beach or out...
02:20...outdoor activities.
02:21Sydney looking at 31 degrees and a sunny day.
02:24Canberra...
02:25...another hot.
02:2639 degrees there.
02:27With afternoon thunderstorms possible.
02:29So watch out.
02:30...for those.
02:31Moving down into Victoria...
02:32...and as we've been saying all week...
02:34...those cooler conditions...
02:35...continue right along southern parts of Victoria...
02:38...thanks to those cooler onshore...
02:40...and winds...
02:41...but also much hotter in the north...
02:42...and also watching showers and thunderstorms...
02:44...all developing along our...
02:45...ranges in central and eastern parts of the state.
02:48And we're also watching for those dry thunderstorms...
02:50...as well across much of northern Victoria...
02:52...in the final day of heat through those areas.
02:55Notice temperatures in the low 40s in the north...
02:57...getting up into the mid 40s...
02:59...once again through north.
03:00...western Victoria.
03:01But thankfully today...
03:02...will be the last day of that heat.
03:04Much cooler in the...
03:05...south temperatures in the mid to high 20s...
03:07...Melbourne 26 degrees...
03:08...and a few showers in the afternoon.
03:10Possible.
03:11Moving down into Tasmania...
03:13...a warm one on the way for...
03:15...not much of the state.
03:16With temperatures in the mid to high 20s...
03:19...and we'll see a trough...
03:20...some slightly cooler conditions...
03:21...later in the day.
03:22But then we'll be watching...
03:23...south western parts of Tasmania.
03:25...on Saturday night.
03:26As that cold front...
03:27...will sweep across the state...
03:28...on Sunday.
03:29Bringing...
03:30...in much cooler conditions.
03:31We could even be talking about...
03:32...snow through parts of the central plateau...
03:34...and so...
03:35...not our highest peak.
03:36So we're going to go from...
03:37...winter...
03:38...sorry...
03:39...summer to winter in parts of Tasmania.
03:40...over the weekend.
03:41A better weather whiplash there.
03:43So watch out for that.
03:44But on Saturday...
03:45...a much nicer day...
03:46...to get out and about.
03:47Maybe cooler in the west...
03:48...with those fronts and showers...
03:49...but else...
03:50...a warm and sunny day...
03:51...for many.
03:52Except for Hobart...
03:53...which will be a cloudy...
03:54...25 degree.
03:55...moving up into...
03:57...South Australia...
03:58...and that record heat...
03:59...continues through...
04:00...inland parts of South Australia...
04:01...where Maree...
04:02...we saw...
04:03...49 and a half degrees...
04:04...there...
04:05...yesterday...
04:06...sorry...
04:07...49.8 degrees...
04:08...there yesterday...
04:09...and Adamuka...
04:10...near Roxbury Downs...
04:10...saw 50 degrees...
04:11...all-time records...
04:12...for both of those...
04:13...locations.
04:14As you can see...
04:15...another very hot day...
04:16...on the way...
04:17...Saturday...
04:18...in Northern South Australia...
04:19...but much cooler...
04:20...through Southern South...
04:20...australia...
04:21...thanks to those...
04:22...fresh and gusty...
04:23...south to...
04:24...southeasterly winds...
04:25...with temperatures...
04:25...the high 20s...
04:26...to low 30s...
04:27...Adelaide...
04:28...a partly cloudy day...
04:29...and 32 degrees...
04:30...we could see some...
04:31...gusty gully winds though...
04:32...with that...
04:33...moving over into WA...
04:34...and we're really...
04:35...starting to see...
04:36...those temperatures...
04:37...pick up now...
04:38...through Southwestern...
04:39...parts of WA...
04:40...with Perth...
04:40...at a sunny...
04:41...36 degrees...
04:42...still pretty cool though...
04:43...along our Southern...
04:44...coastal areas...
04:45...thanks to...
04:45...those onshore...
04:46...southeasterly winds...
04:47...and also starting to...
04:48...warm up now...
04:49...across our Pilbara...
04:50...and the...
04:50...far northern parts of WA...
04:52...with hot and stormy...
04:53...conditions developing there...
04:55...finally up across...
04:56...the tropical north...
04:57...we'll see that...
04:58...tropical low...
04:59...continuing to bring...
05:00...widespread...
05:00...red rain and storms...
05:01...across much of...
05:02...northern tropical...
05:03...Australia...
05:04...from Cape York Peninsula...
05:05...the Gulf...
05:06...right across the NT...
05:07...and also into...
05:08...parts of the...
05:09...Northern Kimberley...
05:10...with...
05:10...heavy falls...
05:11...and severe...
05:12...thunderstorms possible...
05:13...while the heat...
05:14...continues for...
05:15...southern parts of the...
05:15...the NT...
05:16...with temperatures...
05:17...once again...
05:18...soaring into the...
05:19...low to...
05:20...mid 40...
05:20...degrees...
05:21...hot and stormy...
05:22...across the north...
05:23...with rain and thunderstorms...
05:24...Darwin...
05:25...32 degrees...
05:25...and then a very quick look...
05:26...at what's happening...
05:27...on Sunday...
05:28...around the country...
05:29...a warm sunny...
05:30...33 degrees...
05:30...in Brisbane...
05:31...Sydney could be seeing...

05:37...in Canberra...
05:38...Hobart...

05:40...compared to Saturday...
05:40...16 degrees...
05:41...showers...
05:42...gusty winds...
05:43...and that possible snow...
05:44...through northern areas...
05:45...Melbourne...
05:45...and a chilly...
05:46...19 degrees...
05:47...with a few showers as well...
05:48...just showing that...
05:49...cooler air...
05:50...moving across...

05:54...in Adelaide...
05:55...the hot...
05:56...37 degrees...
05:57...in Perth...
05:58...and that'll be...
05:59...watching closely there...
06:00...because it'll be...
06:01...impacting the fire zone...
06:00...across northern suburbs...
06:01...and rain and storms...
06:02...continuing across...
06:03...our tropical north...
