00:00Hello, Miriam at the Bureau with your national weather forecast for tomorrow, Wednesday the 18th
00:05of March. Taking a look at tomorrow's weather map, we can see significant moisture continuing to be
00:10drawn south from the tropics, feeding into rain, showers and storms through parts of the Northern
00:15Territory, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. Also in the north, we have our tropical
00:21low-pressure system 34U sitting over the Coral Sea. This system has a high chance of reaching
00:27tropical cyclone intensity over the next couple of days. Look for our dedicated video around the
00:33details of this system for more on that one. In the south of the country tomorrow, areas of high
00:38pressure are strengthening, starting to bring more settled conditions to some of our southern areas.
00:43A west coast trough over Western Australia is starting to reinforce warm weather through those
00:48southwestern parts of the country. Let's take a state-by-state look at tomorrow's forecast now
00:53starting with Queensland. In Queensland tomorrow, showers and thunderstorms continue in the far
00:59north of the state and also in the far west, close to the Northern Territory border. In fact,
01:05we could see the continued risk of locally heavy falls and flash flooding through parts of the southwest
01:11there. We'll see some patchier coastal showers continuing in the east, but most other parts of
01:16the state are in for dry and generally mostly sunny conditions. It is worth noting, however, that
01:22significant flood warnings remain in place for much of the state of Queensland. For Brisbane tomorrow,
01:28we are looking at a shower or two on the forecast and a top of 29 degrees. In New South
01:34Wales tomorrow,
01:34we are likely to see showery weather developing across much of the state. A little bit drier through the
01:39far northeast and northern inland, but wet weather emerging elsewhere. We do have the risk of thunderstorms
01:46for some areas, which could bring some heavier falls, particularly through those northwestern parts
01:51of the state, but also around parts of the east coast, particularly around the Illawarra Shoalhaven,
01:57Sydney Metro, Central Coast and Lower Hunter. We could see storms bring the risk of locally heavy falls
02:02for our Wednesday. For Sydney tomorrow, it will be a showery day with a top of 26 degrees. Down in
02:09Canberra, a shower or two and a top of around 24 degrees. In Victoria tomorrow, we are looking at some
02:15morning fogs through those southern parts of the state, then a generally dry, partly cloudy to
02:20mostly sunny day. Further north, we will see more cloud with showers continuing on our north of the
02:26ranges, I should say, the risk of thunderstorms through the northeast. For Melbourne though,
02:32we're heading for a top of 23 degrees tomorrow, a partly cloudy day on the way. In Tasmania tomorrow,
02:38the chance of morning fog through many of our inland areas, then it will be a dry day, generally quite
02:43mild,
02:44with plenty of sunshine across the state. For Hobart, we're looking at a mostly sunny day with a top
02:49of 23 degrees. Moving to South Australia, we are looking at fairly cloudy skies continuing across
02:57the state. Areas of rain and possible storms continue across those northern and eastern areas,
03:03with the risk of heavy falls persisting through the far northeast. We'll generally see drying conditions
03:09through southern and central as well as western parts of the state, but it will remain fairly cloudy.
03:15For Adelaide, it'll be a mostly cloudy day with a top of 26 degrees on the way.
03:21In Western Australia, the chance of morning fog through many of our southeast coastal districts,
03:26then a warm, dry and mostly sunny day. Our west coast trough is starting to reinforce that warm weather
03:33through our western and southwestern districts in particular, although it will be cooler than average
03:38further inland across the interior and across the north of the state. We will see the continued
03:44chance of showers and storms through the Kimberley and northern interior as well. For Perth, though,
03:49it will be a dry day, a hot sunny top of 36 degrees. In the Northern Territory tomorrow, rain areas,
03:56showers and storms through most areas, particularly focused through those northern and central parts.
04:02The slight chance of some heavy falls through the southeast early in the day, easing back to patchier
04:07showers through those southern districts later. We are likely to see a showery day, possible thunderstorm
04:14on the way and a top of 31 degrees in Darwin. It's also worth noting that we do have
04:18flood watches remaining in place for much of the territory, with flood warnings for many of those
04:24eastern and southeastern areas. Now, as always, you can find the latest forecasts for your area
04:30via the Bureau's website, the Bonwether app and via our social media. Have a great day and we'll catch you
04:36next time.
