00:00Hello, this is Angus at the Bureau of Meteorology with a look at the national weather forecast

00:04for Friday the 8th of November, and we are expecting some rain to develop across southern

00:09parts of Western Australia on Friday, could bring a spot of wet weather to Perth there.

00:14Elsewhere, a few storms around this part of the country here and a continuation of warm

00:18conditions for parts of the east coast.

00:21It's been very warm in Queensland and Friday will be another hot day across the state,

00:25with temperatures as much as 5 to 7 degrees above usual for the time of year along the

00:30east coast and the eastern interior.

00:33We do expect to see some showers develop across the southeast as well, with possible thunderstorms.

00:38We could even see some severe thunderstorms through some southern areas.

00:41At the moment it's looking most likely that would be around the Scenic Rim and the Border

00:46Ranges, but potentially could spread through other parts of southeastern Queensland through

00:50the afternoon hours.

00:52If those storms do develop, expect areas of heavy rain and damaging wind gusts.

00:57Dry and sunny from around about Bundaberg northwards up the east coast.

01:02Some very early showers across eastern NSW but clearing by around about 7am and becoming

01:07a sunny hot day for most of the state, and that will drive high fire dangers for many

01:12areas and extreme fire dangers around the Illawarra Shoalhaven region.

01:17Temperatures in Sydney could touch 30 degrees on Friday, possibly hotter than that in the

01:21western suburbs.

01:23Showers and storms are expected to return around northeastern NSW during Friday afternoon

01:28with the possibility of severe storms bringing heavy rain, damaging wind or large hail to

01:33the northern rivers and northern tablelands.

01:37Into Victoria, gusty westerly winds and a few light showers anticipated across southern

01:42parts of the state.

01:43Any wet weather should clear up most places by around about early afternoon, maybe 3 or

01:484 o'clock before the last of those showers disappear off the map, but the gusty westerlies

01:53will stick around and that keeps a bit of a cap on the temperatures.

01:55So many places in southern Victoria just in the teens for Friday, however further north

02:01the wind knot is strong and temperatures are fair bit warmer, low to mid 20s.

02:06A real shift in conditions across Tasmania compared to earlier in the week when we had

02:10those hot conditions in the high 20s.

02:13On Friday we have a cold front crossing the state bringing some really blustery winds,

02:17potentially 80 to 90 km an hour wind gusts expected in many places and that could drive

02:21some elevated fire danger as well.

02:24The front will also bring showers across the state, most persistent in the west, but a

02:28spot of rain possible wherever you live in Tasmania tomorrow, particularly around the

02:32middle of the day as that front passes.

02:35Could even see some snow in the mountains above about 1000 metres.

02:38All of that, the rain, the snow and the gusty winds will be easing off during Friday evening.

02:45A weak front also for southern parts of South Australia, morning shower in Adelaide and

02:50across the southeast as well, just a couple of millimetres here or there.

02:53Away from that it is fine weather, dry weather throughout the day, not much wind in play

02:58so a settled afternoon across SA with temperatures a few degrees cooler than usual.

03:04We will see some rain developing in Western Australia on Friday, initially it's around

03:07the west coast here including Perth but as the day progresses we'll see the falls push

03:12inland across the Wheatbelt, into the southern interior and eventually down to the south

03:16coast as well.

03:17Widespread rainfall totals will not be large, 1-5mm for many areas and isolated spots could

03:23see as much as 15mm.

03:26If you live north of Geraldton, chances are you'll see another dry day, a little bit windy

03:30and still fairly warm.

03:32And across Australia's north, pretty much everyone is the chance of seeing a shower

03:36or storm but no significant rainfall totals expected, we might see some isolated moderate

03:41falls around the Kimberley.

03:43Across the top end it continues to be very hot, temperatures in the low 40s for many

03:48and just a low shower risk as well, including around Darwin and the Tiwi Islands.

03:53To stay up to date with what's happening in your area, find your forecast on the Bureau

03:57website and app.

03:58Thank you for watching and have a great day.
