00:00Merry Christmas from the Bureau with your National Weather Forecast for tomorrow.

00:04So that's Tuesday the 24th of December and I'll also be touching on the Christmas Day forecast as well.

00:10But we'll start off by taking a look at tomorrow's weather map.

00:14So here we've got a low pressure system that's moving away from the mainland

00:18but still bringing a bit of a brisk southwesterly flow in some showers to the far southeast.

00:23Then this high pressure system extending a stabilising ridge along the east coast

00:28while out in the west this trough bringing some isolated showers and storms

00:32and potential dry lightning and a few showers to the coast

00:36and across the tropical north those typical showers and storms.

00:40But let's take a closer look at Queensland.

00:43It's going to be a generally dry and sunny day across the majority of the state

00:48although partly cloudy with isolated showers and the risk of storms north of Cairns

00:53and also very isolated showers about the coastal fringe elsewhere.

00:58For Brisbane a sunny day top of 32 degrees.

01:02Down in New South Wales also a generally dry and sunny day across the majority

01:07apart from a few showers about the far southeast and also about the northern coastal fringe

01:12and adjacent land areas.

01:14For Sydney a sunny day and a top of 24 degrees

01:17nudging near a 30 as we head into the western suburbs.

01:21For Canberra a sunny day and 27 degrees.

01:25Down in Victoria there'll be morning cloud on and south of the ranges

01:29with isolated showers most likely in the east, warm, hot and dry in the north.

02:02in the far southeast but that will clear during the day

02:05otherwise generally fine and dry.

02:07For Adelaide cloud clearing a top of 29 degrees.

02:12Now over in WA here we've got this trough line that will bring some instability

02:17with showers and storms and potential dry lightning

02:20and also a bit of a trough bringing some showers about the far southwest.

02:24For Perth a sunny day and a top of 31 degrees.

02:28Heading up for the tropical north we've got the typical humid weather

02:33and those showers and storms generally during the afternoon and the evening

02:38south of that trough line, very hot, dry and sunny conditions.

02:43Now taking a sneak peek of the Christmas Day forecast

02:46it's going to be a generally dry and sunny day across the majority

02:50with just some isolated showers about the central and north coast of Queensland

02:55with isolated storms about the interior just adjacent to that.

03:00Out in the west as well some storms through the WA interior

03:04and also about the southwest coast bringing windy conditions and showers there.

03:09But otherwise we've got sunny conditions for Brisbane a top of 30 degrees,
