00:00Hello, Miriam at the Bureau with your national weather forecast for tomorrow, Wednesday the 30th

00:04of October. Now our weather map for Wednesday shows a low pressure trough arcing across the

00:10continent, from Western Australia through the north and down into Queensland as well.

00:14There's a lot of heat being dragged in around this trough through the northern and western

00:19parts of Australia in particular, but we're also seeing the trough generating some showers and

00:24storms, particularly through the north, but also including parts of Western Australia and Queensland

00:29for our Wednesday. In the southeast it will be a more settled day ahead, but we are going to see

00:35the chance of some showers through Tasmania as another cold front approaches. Let's take a closer

00:40look at all of that now state by state, starting with Queensland. We are in for a hot day across

00:46Queensland once again tomorrow, with severe heat waves continuing across parts of the peninsula

00:51and gulf country districts. We're also seeing a few isolated showers and storms in these areas,

00:55but with generally low rainfall totals. There is also the chance of an afternoon shower or storm

01:01through the southeast of the state tomorrow. Rainfall totals should be fairly hit and miss at

01:06this stage and we're not expecting them to become severe. For Brisbane for Wednesday we are looking

01:11at the chance of a shower or storm with a top of 27 degrees. For New South Wales we're looking at

01:17morning fogs through the southeast and then a dry and mostly sunny day following. The exception will

01:22be the far northeast of the state where we are going to see the chance of a shower or thunderstorm

01:27through the afternoon, but once again not expected to become severe. For Sydney we are looking at a

01:32mostly sunny day for our Wednesday with a top of 25 degrees, mild and sunny in Canberra with a top of 27.

01:40Down in Victoria, morning fogs in the south and then partly cloudy conditions south of the

01:44ranges with the slight chance of a shower about those exposed coastal areas. It'll be much drier

01:49and sunnier in the north however with plenty of light winds around. Melbourne is heading for a bit

01:54of a cloudy morning but we should see that sun emerging through the afternoon with a top of 21

01:59degrees. For Tasmania we are looking at mild and mostly sunny conditions through the northeast,

02:05but cloudier through the west with showers throughout the day. Those cloudy and showery

02:11conditions will start to push into central and southern parts of the state later on which means

02:16that for Hobart we do have the chance of a shower in the later afternoon or evening tomorrow,

02:21otherwise we're looking at a partly cloudy day top of 18 degrees there. South Australia can expect

02:27some morning fogs through the southeastern parts of the state then a generally dry and sunny day

02:32following. We are going to see a little bit of high level cloud pushing in from the west with

02:36a very slight chance of a shower about the west coast, but it's really going to struggle to reach

02:41the ground, most of it evaporating before it hits the ground with only a little bit expected for the

02:46rainfall gauges. For Adelaide we are looking at a sunny day tomorrow with a top of 26 degrees.

02:52Over in Western Australia this trough is starting to move eastwards, it is likely to generate areas

02:57of cloud and possible thunderstorms tomorrow, but we can't really see very much on this map

03:02because it's a map of rainfall. What that's telling us is that storms tomorrow are likely

03:06to be dry thunderstorms, so while they'll produce the cloud possibly the lightning as well they're

03:11not expected to bring too much rainfall with them. To the west of the trough it'll be sunny,

03:15a little bit breezy at times, but certainly hot. Perth is heading for a top of 31 degrees with

03:20plenty of sunshine around tomorrow. Finally across the north we are going to see those hot conditions

03:26continuing across those northernmost parts of the country. Severe heat waves continue for parts of

03:32the northern territory including the Top End and Tiwi Islands, but we're also seeing those heat wave

03:37conditions returning to parts of the Kimberley. Otherwise showers and thunderstorms continue in

03:42those areas, much drier inland. For Darwin we are looking at the chance of a shower or storm

03:47tomorrow with a top of 34 degrees. You can find the detailed forecast for your area via the Bureau's

03:53website, the BOM Weather app or our social media. Have a good night and we'll catch you tomorrow.
