00:00Hello, Miriam at the Bureau with your national weather forecast for tomorrow, Thursday the 24th

00:05of April. Taking a look at tomorrow's weather map, we can see strong areas of high pressure

00:10extending from southeast Australia and pushing across those eastern and central states. Now,

00:16that high pressure is bringing mostly settled conditions to those areas for our Thursday.

00:21However, we do still have a low pressure trough lying along the east coast, which is continuing

00:26to generate some showers and thunderstorms for New South Wales and southern Queensland.

00:31Meanwhile, we have a deep low pressure system moving over the Great Australian Bight,

00:36directing a cold front through Western Australia and into South Australia tomorrow,

00:41likely to bring showers, thunderstorms and a shift to cooler weather behind it.

00:45In the north, things are a little bit more settled, but we do still have a few showers

00:50and thunderstorms continuing through parts of the tropics. Let's take a state-by-state look

00:54at tomorrow's forecast now, starting with Queensland. For Queensland tomorrow, we're likely to see

01:00showers and thunderstorms extending across southeastern parts of the state, pushing across

01:05the southern interior as well. Now, rainfall totals will generally be low to moderate, but we may see

01:10some locally heavy falls along the coast to the south of Brisbane and across those adjacent ranges

01:16too, most likely with thunderstorms during the afternoon. It will be a lot drier across the central

01:22coast and across those inland areas with sunny conditions expected, although we do still have

01:27a few showers and thunderstorms lingering across the Cape York Peninsula. For Brisbane tomorrow,

01:32we're expecting a showery day with a top of 26 degrees. In New South Wales tomorrow, showers and

01:38coastal thunderstorms continue along the east coast, but they will be contracting northwards as the day

01:43goes on. Moderate rainfall totals are possible across those northern coastlines, with the risk of

01:49locally heavy falls for parts of the mid-north coast and northern rivers, once again, most likely with

01:54thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening. Becoming drier through the southeast and remaining

01:59dry across inland parts of New South Wales tomorrow. Sydney is looking at a shower or two for our Thursday

02:04and a top of 25 degrees, mostly cloudy down in Canberra and a top of 23 degrees. In Victoria tomorrow,

02:12morning fogs in the south and a mild and mostly sunny day ahead, although we do have some afternoon showers

02:18and thunderstorms developing across parts of Gippsland and through the west. Now rainfall totals won't

02:23be very high, but we may hear a couple of rumbles of thunder if we're in those areas tomorrow. Melbourne is

02:29heading for a mostly sunny top of 26 degrees. Possible morning fogs through Tasmania tomorrow, then a mostly cloudy day,

02:37a few showers through the north and the west, although with generally low rainfall totals expected. It will be mild as well. Hobart is

02:44heading for a partly cloudy top of 23 degrees. In South Australia tomorrow, patchy morning fogs through

02:51southeastern parts of the state, then a warm, dry and mostly sunny day following. We do have a cold front,

02:58pushing into those western districts later in the day, however, bringing cloud, showers and even possible

03:03thunderstorms through the late afternoon and evening. For Adelaide tomorrow, we're looking at a mostly sunny

03:09top of 26 degrees. That cold front is expected to move across southern inland and southeastern

03:16Western Australia tomorrow, bringing showers and isolated thunderstorms to those areas, the storms

03:22more likely about the coastal fringe. Now in the wake of that cold front, showers will start to ease back,

03:27but we're likely to see large waves and strong to damaging winds, particularly across the southwest coast,

03:33where we have a severe weather warning already in place for that wind risk there. Perth is looking at

03:39a shower or two easing and a top of 22 degrees tomorrow. Further north and inland, conditions will

03:44be sunnier, drier and more settled for Western Australia. In the Northern Territory tomorrow,

03:50sunny and dry conditions continue, particularly across southern and central parts of the Territory,

03:55a little bit of cloud across the top end coast with the chance of a few showers and the odd thunderstorm,

04:01particularly across the northeast top end coast. Darwin is looking at a mostly dry day tomorrow,

04:06though a partly cloudy day and a top of 33 degrees. You can find the detailed forecasts for your area via

04:13the Bureau's website, the BOM Weather app and via our social media. Have a great day and we'll catch you next time.
