00:00Hello from the Bureau with your National Weather Forecast for Tuesday the 3rd of September.
00:04We've now seen wind and rain easing across south-eastern parts of the country, but there
00:08is ongoing flooding for parts of Tasmania.
00:11So let's have a look at what we're expecting for Wednesday.
00:13And starting off with the synoptic map, we can see this high pressure system out in the
00:16east, that's really helped to dry things out across south-eastern parts of the country.
00:20But the next system we're keeping an eye on is this surface trough out towards the
00:24west.
00:25That will start to bring a little bit of warmth down to South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.
00:28There will be some shower activity and increasing northerly winds, but at this stage we're
00:33not expecting conditions to be as windy as compared to the last few days.
00:37Out west though, it's all about this cold front pushing through south-western parts
00:40of Western Australia.
00:41Plenty of showers for the south-west land division, and some colder air coming through
00:45behind that, with the possibility of some small hail about the south coast.
00:49Elsewhere though, showers increasing for the tropical north coast of Queensland, but otherwise
00:54looking like a clear middle of the week.
00:57Let's have a closer look at a state-by-state level now, starting off with Queensland.
01:00We can see those showers pushing onto the Cassowary Coast, including Cairns the other
01:04day in that south-easterly trade flow.
01:06In the south-east of the state though, another cool day ahead, 23 degrees in Brisbane, and
01:11a lot of that heat through western parts of the state has now started to dissipate.
01:15Down in New South Wales, there is a chance of some morning fog and frost through inland
01:18areas, but that will clear to a dry and mild to warm day, 23 degrees in Sydney, 19 degrees
01:24in Canberra after a cold start.
01:27Down in Victoria, heat will really start to ramp up with those northerly winds coming
01:30down.
01:31A warmer day in Melbourne, 20 degrees, 26 up in the Mallee, but with that trough approaching,
01:35we'll see showers approach the far south-west of the state later in the day, and strengthening
01:40northerly winds for much of Victoria.
01:42Down in Tasmania, there's still a flood warning current for many rivers, so make sure
01:47you're across the latest warning if you are in Tasmania.
01:49We'll see a couple of showers pushing onto the far south-west coast, but we're not
01:53expecting any significant falls.
01:55Warm in the south, 19 degrees in Hobart, a little bit cooler across the northern parts
01:59of Tassie.
02:00In South Australia, it's warming up there as well, especially through inland areas reaching
02:04the high 20s to even low 30s, 25 degrees in Adelaide, showers pushing in from the west
02:09later in the day, and for Adelaide, we'll see a shower or two later in the evening.
02:14In Western Australia, that cold front will race across the southwest land division, showers
02:18pushing all the way up towards Geraldton, and some cold air along the south coast including
02:22for Albany.
02:23Out towards the east, we are seeing elevated fire dangers, very strong winds and the chance
02:27of a few thunderstorms through the interior, but dry across the Pilbara.
02:31Finally, for northern Australia, we are expecting again extreme fire danger for the Darwin area.
02:36Elsewhere though, not much change to what we've seen over the past few days.
02:40That's it for today.
02:42You can check the latest forecasts and warnings on the Bureau's website and our social media
02:46channels, and we'll see you next time.
