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

00:05the 2nd of May.

00:06And we're going to continue to see high pressure dominating much of the country, leading to

00:11dry and cool conditions for many areas.

00:14They're warming up across western areas, and that'll be ahead of a cold front impacting

00:18southwestern parts of WA with showers and gusty winds there.

00:22Elsewhere, fine, dry and mild, the only other wet weather will be across eastern parts of

00:27Australia with coastal showers in New South Wales and more widespread across eastern parts

00:32of Queensland.

00:33And we could see more widespread, heavier showers through parts of the North Tropical Coast and

00:37maybe across northern parts of Cape York.

00:40But let's look at all of this in more detail.

00:42Firstly, in Queensland, inland areas will continue to stay dry and mostly sunny there, with temperatures

00:48in the mid to high 20s.

00:50Showers will be common across much of eastern Queensland, quite widespread around the Cowns

00:55and Townsville area and in between.

00:57Well, a couple of showers also moving into southeastern Queensland as well.

01:01Brisbane, a couple of showers possible and 23 degrees.

01:05Moving down into New South Wales, dry and sunny conditions continuing for our inland areas,

01:10but widespread showers once again through much of eastern New South Wales, particularly

01:15central and northern areas.

01:17Brisbane, Sydney looking at a 21 degree day with a few showers.

01:21And Canberra, a frosty start around 1 degrees, but a sunny day reaching 19 degrees.

01:26Moving down into Victoria, we're going to see high pressure dominating conditions.

01:30So it's going to lead to sunny conditions statewide.

01:33Temperatures in the low 20s across northern areas and in the high teens to 20 degrees in

01:38southern areas.

01:39Melbourne looking at a partly cloudy day and 20 degrees.

01:43Moving down into Tasmania.

01:45After a cold frosty start through our inland areas, we're likely to see a partly cloudy

01:50day with temperatures in the mid to high teens.

01:53Hobart looking at a partly cloudy 17 degrees.

01:56Then as we move up into South Australia, temperatures warming up into the low to mid 20s for much of

02:02the state.

02:03Maybe get into the high 20s for western areas and also southern areas looking at a sunny

02:07and dry day.

02:0823 degrees with lots of sunshine in Adelaide.

02:12Moving over into WA.

02:14Now ahead of this front, we're going to see warm conditions with temperatures in the mid

02:17to high 20s and those winds increasing as well.

02:20Then that cold front will move into southwestern parts of Western Australia during the late afternoon

02:26and evening hours with showers, gusty wind and patchy rain.

02:29Then that might get up into the Perth area as we get into the late part of the day.

02:35Perth looking at a couple of late showers and 26 degrees.

02:38While further north staying warm, dry and sunny across northern WA.

02:41And then finally across our tropical north, dry season like conditions really starting to

02:46develop there with warm, dry and sunny conditions through parts of the Kimberley and much of

02:51the NT as well.

02:52But we could still see some lingering showers and storms through Cape York and also eastern

02:56parts of the Arnhem Land as well.

02:58Darwin looking at a partly cloudy 33 degrees.

03:02So with all this weather around going on in the country, remember you can get the latest

03:05forecasts and warnings for your area via our website and the BOM weather app.
