If you're in Tasmania, Victoria, or southern parts of NSW, South Australia, and Western Australia, you're best to keep the winter woolies out for at least the rest of July!

00:00G'day from the Bureau. Let's check out the weather forecast for the second half of this week. The main feature
00:05we will focus on a front racing across the south starting in the west and moving to the east in the next couple of days
00:11Elsewhere across Australia's north dry, but very cool conditions will continue
00:17Throughout the week so far the action on the map has been in this area here with this low pressure in the Tasman driving
00:23Windy wet and snowy conditions across Australia's east but on Wednesday night and Thursday
00:29We will see the weather settle across this part of the country the wind subsides the rain clears up
00:34But at the same time that that's happening
00:36Another front is working its way on to the southwest moving through Perth
00:40Overnight tonight the early hours of Thursday morning with a band of rain
00:44Possible hail maybe a thunderstorm as that moves through and then through Thursday continues to move eastwards
00:51and we will see this band of rain leaning across Western Australia by the end of the day a
00:55Few showers and behind it mean that the wet weather doesn't completely clear out of Perth
01:00Elsewhere elsewhere high pressure has taken control lots of sunshine across the remainder of Australia
01:06Then on Friday this front continues to move eastwards covering a lot of ground as well reaching southern parts of South Australia around Adelaide
01:13About the middle of the day. So some rain there in the afternoon strong winds as well
01:17Then the second half of Friday rain and winds through Victoria including Melbourne
01:22Tasmania including Hobart, maybe even some wet weather reaching Canberra right at the end of the day on Friday
01:27We shouldn't see any of that rain reach Sydney
01:29But the wind will pick up there before the end of the week and it's clear sunny and cool across the top half of the
01:35Country. This is a look at how much rain we might get out of this front as it races across the southern states
01:41This is total rainfall from Wednesday to Friday
01:44So completely dry across Australia's north and center actually
01:47But if we zoom in to the southwest, we can see a notable drop of rain around the southwestern corner in particular
01:53You might be able to see this darker red shading from about Geraldton down to the far southwest
01:58places in that area
02:00Particularly along the coast might see 30 to 50 millimeters of rain as this front does pass through in the next 24 to 36 hours
02:07more broadly speaking 5 to 15 millimeters around large parts of the Wheatbelt and
02:12Across the southeast numbers are similar perhaps a touch less than what you might see in Western Australia
02:17But 15 to 25 millimeters for large parts of Tasmania, Victoria, southern South Australia
02:23And if you're in the mountains or looking to head to the mountains, it's likely that the rain across the mountains will fall as snow
02:30So it could be another nice top up of snow after we've already had some earlier this week
02:34Perhaps another 10 to 20 centimeters around those alpine resorts
02:39This front is also going to generate some very strong gusty conditions
02:42Here's a look at wind gusts for the next few days in particular
02:46We're looking at those yellow and orange areas
02:48Maybe even some red areas starting in Western Australia on Thursday
02:51then moving into South Australia on Friday some gusty conditions around Adelaide and the lofties and then into Victoria Tasmania and
02:59parts of New South Wales Friday night and Saturday setting us up for a windy weekend across parts of Eastern Australia and
03:06To round out what we're looking at for the next few days
03:08We will finish with temperatures and it was very cold this morning Wednesday morning in
03:14Queensland and the Northern Territory and it's going to be very cold again for Northern Australia
03:19single-digit temperatures tomorrow morning stretching as far north as about
03:23Townsville and then the daytime temperatures are on the cooler side as well
03:27We're seeing 19 and Mackay certainly below average for this time of year
03:31Mid teens through central parts of Australia low teens down in the southeast and about 18 degrees in Perth
03:38Another cool morning on Friday
03:39Take a look at this pale blue to white shading right through the northeast of the country
03:44One degree through all of these spots three degrees Mount Isa two degrees Alice Springs a very chilly start once again on Friday
03:50It's cool through New South Wales, Victoria Tasmania as well. Although that's a bit more seasonal for the time of year
03:57That's a bit more unusual for this time of year a little more mild out west Friday afternoon
04:02most places will see temperatures a couple of degrees warmer than what they got on both Wednesday and
04:08Thursday and that warming trend will continue into the weekend
