00:02Hello Tassie. It is Sunday the 21st of June. This is your weather forecast for the week ahead.
00:08You've probably got the most interesting weather of the country this week, so let's take a deep
00:12dive, shall we? A front arrives early Tuesday and on Wednesday behind it brings some rainfall
00:21and chilly temperatures, which means there is a frost risk for the state. Those are the top
00:28headlines. You can see here in our rainfall potential from Sunday the 21st to Sunday the 28th
00:35that the west coast gets hit pretty hard, but it peters out really quickly. So let's take a dive
00:43into the rainfall. Here we are looking at the Wednesday total daily rainfall around Queenstown
00:51areas where we'll get 15 to 25 mils. I think Queenstown's getting about 19 mils, but by the
00:57time it comes into any of these sorts of agricultural districts, we're talking in the low two, three,
01:03four mils. And that's really because this is not a very powerful front and we are dominated by high
01:12pressure throughout the week. So by not a very powerful front, I want to show us this is the wind
01:19wind gusts. We're not getting wind gusts, you know, really above the sort of 60 kilometers an hour for
01:26most of the state. Again, the west coast gets hit a bit, but really nothing too powerful. But what it
01:33does, it delivers a cold pool of air and we have a high pressure system on top of that. And
01:41that double
01:42team together really will create some issues with our overnight minimum temperatures. And that's
01:49because the high pressure system will keep it still. So there's not a lot of wind. It will keep
01:55it relatively cloud free, which means that the radiation overnight will escape. And so we're seeing
02:02negative temperatures in the morning from about Wednesday onwards. So this cold pool of air with
02:08these conditions that will keep it cold overnight means that we're going to see frost. So just
02:13briefly to show you, this is the Tuesday morning temperatures in the central regions, we're seeing
02:18the zero to five degrees Celsius. But if we go into Wednesday, we can see we're starting to hit the
02:25negatives. And then into Thursday, now that we've had multiple days in the cold pool of air, and we've had
02:32that long wave radiation overnight, we see that a big portion of the state all through this Oatlands
02:40region's negative temperatures overnight. So that's a big warning coming for you this week. Let's have
02:47a look into some specific areas just to make that story a little bit clearer. So the first region that
02:53I wanted to show you was Queenstown, because it's bearing the brunt of that rainfall. And we can see
02:58Tuesday 18 mils, but it could fall anywhere between nine and 25 mils. Where we are confident though,
03:05is that it will arrive on Tuesday. And if I open this up, we're seeing that it's really through most
03:13of the morning Tuesday, but I want to look at the spread in the models on that very quickly.
03:18Yep. No, they're all showing it's the early morning Tuesday. So that's when the rainfall is arriving.
03:24Uh, I'm going to go to Sheffield now, just to show you on that Tuesday, 0.8 mils
03:31with a spread between zero and 2.4. So by the time it moves into Sheffield, which we know is
03:36not very
03:36far, there's not a lot of rain left in that system. What it does though, is it brings fog risk
03:47on the
03:48Tuesday, the Wednesday, um, and then for the rest of the week. So it's a quite a foggy week.
03:55If we go into the oatlands where we saw that really cold pool of air, we can see that from
04:03the Wednesday onwards, we're getting frost risk. So Wednesday frost, Thursday, big frost risk,
04:11Friday as well, even to Saturday. So there's frost risk for that oatlands regions, but up in the north,
04:18it seems to not, um, get to the frost risk level that we can also say that spraying conditions are
04:24fairly poor for the week there as well. Okay. So that's our story for Tassie. We'll go back and
04:31just have a little outwards glance. And you can see that on Thursday, you're under the center of that
04:37high pressure system. It's cooling off. It'll be clear, calm days, but really cold overnight.
04:43All right. Look out for yourselves. Have a great week. And if you want to see the climate projections
04:49for July, we chat about that in the national weather update video. So go and check that out. Thanks.
