00:03Hello Northern Australia. It is Sunday the 15th of November and this is your weather update for
00:06the week ahead. More rain and thunderstorms on the way this week with some continued heatwave
00:11warnings especially in Northern Queensland. Let's get into it. This is the rainfall potential Sunday
00:16to Sunday. As you can see around the Darwin region is our concentrated strongest rainfall
00:20of the area. Available we'll see anywhere between 75 and 100 mils is possible. If we get into the
00:27day by day breakdown though we're going to see that most areas have some sort of severe weather
00:31on the way this week. Starting off though with our warnings you can see that central Queensland has
00:36a general flood weather warning issued. As there's more intense rainfall days I think there could be
00:42some extension of these flood warnings just sort of depends on where that lands. I'm going to go ahead
00:47into Tuesday though and turn off our fire danger warnings just to show you that across Northern
00:53Queensland we still have severe to extreme heat wave warnings being issued. I haven't seen much
00:59reprieve from that in terms of the temperature outlook this week either. Okay let's get into the
01:04rainfall. This is Monday morning? Monday day. This is just all Monday available potential totals. First
01:10up I want to show you that we have a little low pressure system here. This extends as a trough
01:13across
01:14the north and down into here driving a lot of rainfall. These green bits are between 5 and 10 mils,
01:20darker green as 10 to 15. Now there's definitely an association of thunderstorms with pretty much
01:26all of these green centers of rain. So thunderstorms likely on Monday and as well on Tuesday quite
01:31strong thunderstorm warnings if you're in this WA area and around Darwin. Just to show you this is the
01:38wind gusts associated with this little low pressure center. So much of WA gusting 40 to 63 kilometers
01:43well inland so definitely some severe weather in terms of wind on the way as well as that rainfall.
01:49All right Wednesday you can see mainly northern territory has the severe rainfall but a bit
01:54further south taking away that concentration from Darwin. 25 to 50 mils it will be available there
02:00but we're dry along the WA coast which we're seeing for most of this week and we're seeing in
02:05a lot of sort of extended long-range forecasts so yep still dry along that coastal area and only moderate
02:12rainfall in Queensland there. All right Thursday we're extending again more rainfall in northern territory and
02:19to the west of Queensland little blobs of yellow is 15 to 25 mils dry across northern WA except for
02:25our very little top end there. All right Friday very similar story more intensification in Queensland
02:31around the Darwin region again more thunderstorms likely lighter there on the Saturday and it's
02:37similar there for the Sunday as well. Okay so that is it for rainfall in terms of temperature
02:43just to show you that's I just chose Tuesday for no particular reason
02:52actually it's a good it's a good to show you that right so this is that little low pressure center
02:55Tuesday is the day that we saw quite those intense winds along this area that's why you can't see
03:01um as clear sort of banding with the temperature because those winds are mixing the sort of much colder
03:06southern part of Australia with the much hotter northern part so there's a lot of mixing in that sort of
03:10central region which is also what's driving a lot of that really strong wind is that temperature
03:14differential um 40 to 45 degrees here in this very dark red 35 to 40 degrees along most of this
03:21sort
03:21of lighter red and then the orange 30 to 35 so yeah really hot weather up the north whilst we
03:27have
03:27really cold weather down the south which is also contributing to those really strong winds all right
03:32my friends that is it this week for the northern part of Australia do stay safe have a great week
03:38and
03:38we'll see you next time bye
