00:00Hello, Miriam at the Bureau with your national weather forecast for tomorrow, Friday the 24th of January.
00:06Now, tomorrow's weather map shows us a couple of weak troughs crossing Tasmania,
00:11which are bringing a few showers to parts of southeastern Australia.
00:14We've also got showers in the north as well as thunderstorms, which are pushing down parts of the east coast.
00:20Now, those are largely driven by the low-pressure trough sitting across northern and central parts of the continent,
00:26which is very slow moving this week.
00:28Otherwise, we've got our severe to extreme intensity heatwaves ongoing across much of the continent,
00:34particularly for parts of the southwest and the northeast.
00:37As always, let's take a closer look at all of that now, starting with Queensland.
00:42So, heat and storms remain the story of the day for Queensland tomorrow.
00:46We've got those storms across northern and eastern parts of the state once again,
00:50with the risk of severe storms bringing damaging winds and large hail to parts of the east.
00:56Now, we have a dedicated severe weather video for those thunderstorms and the risk that they will bring,
01:02so you can find all of the details around that situation in our other video.
01:06It will be sunnier and drier the further inland you go, however, with heatwaves continuing.
01:12Now, those heatwaves are severe to locally extreme through much of east-central and southeastern Queensland,
01:18low intensity ongoing across parts of the west.
01:21And it will be a particularly hot day for Brisbane.
01:23We've got a forecast top of 37 degrees tomorrow, with a shower or two on the forecast,
01:28so it will feel quite muggy as well.
01:31For New South Wales, we are looking at showers continuing across the eastern parts of the state,
01:35with the risk of thunderstorms about the northern coastline.
01:39Now, we may see severe storms through parts of the northeast, mostly about the coast and along the adjacent ranges.
01:45Again, you can find the details for those thunderstorms in today's severe weather update video.
01:51We're also going to see heat really continuing across northern parts of New South Wales.
01:55We've got low to severe intensity heatwaves ongoing for parts of the north,
02:00as well as extreme fire dangers likely for the northern slopes.
02:04It will be milder through southern and southeastern parts, however.
02:07For Sydney, we're heading for a milder top of 26 degrees, 27 down in Canberra.
02:13Partly cloudy with a few morning showers for southern Victoria tomorrow,
02:18gradually clearing out later in the afternoon.
02:20It will be a dry and mostly sunny day throughout the day inland.
02:24For Melbourne, we're heading for a mostly cloudy top of 23 degrees tomorrow.
02:29Tasmania can expect those two weak fronts to move across the state during the day,
02:33bringing a few showers to parts with generally low rainfall totals,
02:37mostly through those western areas of the state.
02:40Hobart is heading for a mostly cloudy top of 21 degrees tomorrow.
02:45South Australia is looking at hot, sunny conditions continuing across inland parts of the state,
02:50low to severe intensity heatwaves through the west.
02:53We will see a little bit of cloud around the southern coastlines,
02:56with the very slight chance of a few showers about the southeast coast tomorrow morning.
03:01For Adelaide, though, it will be a dry day, mostly sunny with a top of 28 degrees.
03:06Western Australia will see the severe to locally extreme heatwaves ongoing
03:11across central and southern parts of the state.
03:14Now the west coast is going to slip back into low intensity heatwaves for the most part.
03:19You can see the temperature in Perth has come down to 33 degrees for tomorrow.
03:23But those severe to extreme heatwaves continue further inland,
03:27those extreme heatwaves impacting parts of the southern interior and northern goldfields.
03:32We're also going to see the continued risk of thunderstorms pushing down the west coast,
03:36once again with the risk of dry lightning tomorrow.
03:40For the Northern Territory, showers and thunderstorms continuing across those northern parts of the Territory,
03:45spilling into the Kimberley in Western Australia as well.
03:48We could see some gusty winds about parts of the Gregory and Carpentaria districts.
03:53We are looking at a muggy top of 33 degrees for Darwin tomorrow.
03:57It will be drier inland, however, with low to severe intensity heatwaves
04:01continuing across southern parts of the NT.
04:05Now you can find the detailed forecast for your area via the Bureau's website,
04:08the BOM Weather App and via our social media.
04:11Have a good day and we'll catch you next time.
