00:00G'day from the Bureau with your national weather forecast around the country for

00:04Friday the 28th of November and we're going to continue this pattern of

00:09widespread rain and thunderstorm activity across northern and eastern

00:12Australia while high pressure continues to keep cooler and calmer conditions

00:16through southern and western parts of the country thanks to this high pressure

00:21ridge. Now Friday our focus will continue to be widespread rain and storms across

00:26the eastern inland of Queensland and New South Wales and another round of

00:31widespread shower and thunderstorm activity across our tropical north while

00:34elsewhere across the south and west will remain dry. Now let's have a closer look

00:38at a state-by-state focus. Firstly in Queensland for those along the coast

00:43it's going to be quite warm with humid onshore winds keeping a few showers

00:46through there but the focus really will be across inland parts of Queensland

00:51where we're likely to see widespread showers and thunderstorms and some of

00:54those could be severe extending from Mount Isa through the central west and

00:58down into the Marana Warrego and that could bring heavy rainfall and damaging

01:02winds. While in southeast Queensland another mild and humid day on the way

01:06mostly a few showers here and there but mostly pretty isolated Brisbane looking

01:10at 29 degrees with a possible afternoon shower. Now heading further down the

01:14coast into New South Wales again that pattern of widespread shower and

01:18thunderstorm activity will continue on and west of the ranges through New South

01:22Wales where temperature is actually cooler inland compared to some of our

01:25coastal locations. We could see showers and thunderstorms get to the central

01:29coast of New South Wales between Newcastle and Wollongong later in the

01:33day and we could see showers through Sydney with a top of 25 degrees but

01:37further inland towards Canberra it could see severe thunderstorms tomorrow

01:41afternoon top of 25 degrees there before those storms move in. Then heading down

01:46into Victoria a much calmer and quieter day on the way compared to what we saw

01:51earlier this week. Could see a few showers and thunderstorms move into

01:54eastern and northeastern parts of the state with temperatures in the low 30s

01:58there but fine and dry conditions through central and western parts of the

02:02state getting into the low 30s in the northwest but only into the low 20s

02:06through the south. Melbourne looking at a mild and humid 27 degrees with lots of

02:11sunshine. Now dropping down into Tasmania pretty similar conditions there easterly

02:16winds could continue to bring showers across eastern parts of the state but

02:20generally dry and partly cloudy conditions through western and northern

02:23parts with temperatures are just scraping in over the 20 degree mark.

02:27Hobart itself just falling shy of 20 degrees looking at 19 degrees with a

02:31possible shower or two. Now heading back up into South Australia again that high

02:36pressure system will continue to dominate conditions through South

02:39Australia so temperatures staying into the low 30s across northern parts and

02:42into the low to mid 20s through southern parts of South Australia. Could see a few

02:47showers and thunderstorms moving into eastern parts of the state late in the

02:50day and also see a few light showers to our southern inland areas as well. Adelaide

02:55looking at 25 degrees with a possible afternoon shower. Then heading further

02:59west into WA, pretty dry hot day expected across much of the state.

03:05Temperatures in the mid to high 30s across inland areas and up towards the

03:09Pilbara while along the west coast also looking pretty hot as that west coast

03:13trough shifts offshore bringing those easterly winds to our coastal locations.

03:17That's why I've seen temperatures in the mid to high 30s along the coast on

03:20Friday and Perth looking at a hot 37 degrees with lots of sunshine and those

03:24gusty easterly winds. Then as we head up to our tropical north looking at

03:29widespread showers and thunderstorms once again through parts of the NT and

03:33Kimberley area. Could see heavy falls again where we do have a flood watch

03:37current through parts of the Barkley area as this continuation of widespread

03:41showers and thunderstorms continue. Some of them could be severe with heavy

03:44rainfall as well particularly south of Katherine Darwin looking another warm

03:48humid day with some afternoon showers and thunderstorms 33 degrees. So if you're

03:54heading around the country the coming days make sure you stay up to date the

03:57latest forecasts and warnings by our website app and social media.
