00:00Hello with your national weather forecast as we have a look at the weather for tomorrow. That's

00:03Thursday the 31st of July. First a look at the synoptic map and we can see a low pressure system

00:09and trough over the Tasman Sea that's pushing rain and showers onto the New South Wales coast.

00:14Sea service temperatures off the coast of New South Wales are relatively warm so that's

00:18providing a little bit of an extra moisture boost. Showers also for inland parts of South

00:22Australia and the Northern Territory and then into the afternoon and evening we'll see a few

00:27showers developing across northern inland parts of New South Wales as well as northwest Queensland and

00:32the northern Queensland tropics as well. But elsewhere we are under the influence of quite

00:36a stubborn high pressure system that is extending its influence down towards the southeast of the

00:41country. So Tasmania and Victoria will see a little bit more settled conditions as we head into Thursday

00:46and settled also across the west but that will finally get a bit of a move on as we head into

00:50Friday and that will allow for the next cold front to move up over Western Australia towards the weekend.

00:56So now it's state by state look starting off in Queensland. Cool in the morning with patchy frost

01:01but we are expecting a sunny day to follow across the southeast of the state. Cloud will build through

01:05the southern interior though and this is a slight chance of a very light shower close to the New

01:09South Wales border. Cloud will also thicken across the northwest of the state. A few showers are

01:14possible between Mutt Island and down towards Longreach. Showers also for the Cairns Tropical Coast

01:19and the Adleton Tablelands. Those showers will become more widespread and extend down the coast as we head

01:24into Friday. Temperatures a little bit cooler and average under cloud cover in the west. Warm across

01:29the north and the Cape York Peninsula. In Brisbane mostly sunny at the top of 21 degrees. Possible shower

01:35in Cairns with 29. In New South Wales, rain and showers continue to stream onto the coast as well as

01:41gusty winds. We could see moderate rainfall totals for Illawarra, Sydney and also the Hunter. But into the

01:47afternoon and evening, that rain will gradually ease back towards showers. Showers also increasing for the north of the

01:54about Ivanhoe with a few millimeters possible from the afternoon. Otherwise, it will be quite a cool

01:58day again with maximum temperatures generally below average. Sydney showers and rain at the top of 16

02:04degrees. 12 degrees in Canberra and we'll see a few snow flurries above about a thousand meters across

02:09the snowy mountains. Now to Victoria. Patchy fog and frost south of the divide in the morning. We are

02:15expecting a dry day for most of the state. The exception being through Gippsland with a few showers pushing

02:20through. We could see a few showers pushing to Melbourne and the northeast of the state into the afternoon.

02:24Snow is possible above about a thousand meters. In Melbourne, a cold start with just five degrees. A slight

02:30chance of a shower with a top of 14. One better in Mildura. Sunny with a top of 15.

02:34For Tasmania, we will see a cold start with many locations dipping below zero degrees through the

02:40inland and we will see a bit of fog but the cloud will stick around across the south and miss a slight chance of a shower near the coast.

02:46Be a drier day across the north of the state. For Hobart, cloudy. Very slight chance of a shower with

02:5212 degrees. Two better in Launceston with a top of 14. In South Australia now, cool in the morning in the

02:59southeast of the state with patchy fog and also frost. You can see a few showers along the coast but

03:03not expecting too much in the way of rainfall. Just a few showers are possible for Kangaroo Island and the

03:08west coast of the Eyre Peninsula. But into the afternoon, we will see showers building across northern

03:13interior parts of South Australia and for areas north about Woomera, these are typically arid parts

03:18of the state. So far this month, they have seen above average rainfall. We could see another two to five

03:23millimeters for those areas but cool conditions 15 or 16 degrees, 15 also in Adelaide after a cool

03:29morning. For Western Australia, we will see patchy fog and frost again across the southwest land division

03:35but that will clear to a mostly dry day. Just a few showers about the south coast and also the far

03:40southwest of the state. Perth, a cool start to five degrees. Top of 20 will be the warmest day in more

03:45than two weeks and we will see warmer temperatures for the Gascoigne and also up into the Pilbara.

03:51Finally, for northern Australia, cold in the interior dropping down to zero degrees. A few showers for

03:56the Barclay and up towards Tennant Creek and also a few showers for the top end but we are looking at a

04:01partly cloudy day in Darwin, the top of 32. And for Broome and Port Hedland, it'll be your warmest day in more

04:06than one week. That's your forecast for today. Stay up to date with the latest information and warnings
