00:00Showers along the east coast and a front crossing the Bight.
00:02G'day from the Bureau.
00:03David here with your forecast for tomorrow, Tuesday, August 18.
00:08Let's take a look at the national map to start with.
00:10And there's two main features to keep an eye on here.
00:12This high over the southern Tasman Sea is pushing showers right up along the east coast.
00:17And this front, which is crossing the south coast of Western Australia
00:21and into South Australia during Tuesday,
00:23that's going to bring showers, patchy rain and some thunderstorms to large parts of
00:26particularly South Australia, but also Western New South Wales and Western Victoria during tomorrow.
00:32In the north, dry season continues with dry and mostly sunny conditions across most of the area.
00:39Let's take a look around the grounds now, starting with Queensland,
00:42where we'll see a ridge of high pressure extend along the east coast.
00:45It's bringing quite cool southeasterly winds and plenty of showers to the coast.
00:48More exposed parts like the Sunshine Coast and parts of the North Tropical Coast
00:53could see more than 20 millimetres of rain again tomorrow.
00:56We can also see in the far southwest some showers and possibly a thunderstorm
01:00about the very far southwest corner there, but in between plenty of dry and mostly sunny weather.
01:06For Brisbane, a shower or two coming in from the southeast and the top of 21 degrees.
01:11For New South Wales and the ACT, starting in the far west, we'll see showers and patchy rain
01:16and even a thunderstorm or two across the very far west of the state there.
01:20Five to 15 millimetres of rain possible broadly there.
01:24In the east, we'll see easterly winds pushing more showers ashore as well.
01:29And in between, about the western slopes, dry and partly cloudy,
01:32just one or two showers around in the afternoon.
01:35For Sydney, a shower or two and a top of 19.
01:38For Canberra, a shower or two as well and a top of 16.
01:43Down Victoria, it's starting to feel a little like spring with temperatures nudging 20 degrees
01:47in parts of central and eastern Victoria tomorrow.
01:50That's due to northerly winds bringing relatively warm air down from the interior.
01:54Those northerly winds will strengthen during the day tomorrow,
01:57so it'll be a bit breezy at times, particularly in the west.
01:59We'll see showers and patchy rain moving into western districts during the day,
02:03and then central districts at night, including for Melbourne.
02:06So Melbourne are top of 20 degrees, plenty of sunshine to start with,
02:09but then some of that rain reaching the city, perhaps late in the evening tomorrow,
02:14and quite a breezy day for Melbourne.
02:17Tasmania, we'll see the influence of that warm northerly flow as well,
02:21with quite mild temperatures.
02:22Showers as well about parts of the north coast and the east coast,
02:25where it will be quite cloudy, drier further south and west.
02:29Hobart, a top of 18 degrees and partly cloudy.
02:33For South Australia, bands of showers and patchy rain extending east ahead of the cold front.
02:39We'll see that cold front reach the west coast during the day,
02:41and then extend through to the Eyre Peninsula and Kangaroo Island later.
02:45When it gets there, it'll bring some heavier showers and possibly a thunderstorm or two as well.
02:50Thunderstorms also in the mix for the northeast pastoral districts of SA.
02:54For Adelaide, a top of 19 degrees and showers on the forecast,
02:57although Adelaide should see some lengthy dry spells during the day.
03:02For Western Australia, we'll see that front influence the south coast early in the day,
03:06bringing gusty winds and plenty of showers there.
03:08Those will ease later.
03:09As you head further north and inland and also along the west coast,
03:13generally dry and partly cloudy.
03:15Perth, a top of 19 degrees and cloudy skies there.
03:20For the top end, we'll see a few patchy showers around the red centre at first,
03:25including for Alice Springs, where there's a shower or two on the forecast there.
03:28As you head further north, of course, it gets hotter and generally drier.
03:31Darwin, a sunny top of 33 degrees.
03:33Just one or two showers about the northeastern top end otherwise.
03:39That's all from us for now.
