Hello, Sarah from the bureau here with your National Weather Forecast for tomorrow, so that's Wednesday, the 5th of August.
We'll start off by taking a look at tomorrow's weather map.
We have this high pressure system moving into eastern parts of the country, bringing generally dry and settled weather, with this low pressure system in the Tasman Sea directing south-westerly winds and bringing a few showers to that very far south-eastern corner.
Then out west, this cold front is brushing the southern tip, bringing a few showers, while the patchy rain and showers that have been affecting inland areas over the last couple of days are expected to ease.
So let's go around the country now, state by state, taking a closer look, starting with Queensland. It's expected to be a dry and mostly sunny day across much of the state, apart from the very far north-east coastal areas that may see a few hit-and-miss showers. Morning fog patches are possible throughout eastern districts, from about Cairns all the way down to the Sunshine Coast. Daytime temperatures within a couple of degrees of average for this time of year. For Brisbane, a sunny day and a top of 25 °C.
Moving on to New South Wales, it's also going to be a generally dry and mostly sunny day across the majority of the state, apart from the south-east, which may see some showers about the Southern Slopes and Ranges, falling as snow above 1,200 m during the morning. Daytime temperatures through southern parts will be in the low to mid teens, but grading up to the high teens and even reaching the low 20s throughout the northern parts. For Sydney, a sunny day with a top of 19 °C, while for Canberra, morning frost patches will clear to a partly cloudy day with a maximum of 13 °C.
Moving on to Victoria, we have a south-westerly flow that will bring some showers on and south of the Great Dividing Range, but tending more frequent across the Gippsland area. Maximum temperatures in the low to mid teens. For Melbourne, a partly cloudy day with showers, most frequent about the south-eastern suburbs, and a top of 15 °C.
Moving on to Tasmania, there is a risk of showers across much of the state, but especially about the east and the northern coastal areas. Daytime temperatures in the low to mid teens. For Hobart, a partly cloudy day with a slight chance of a shower and a top of 15 °C.
Moving on to South Australia. Morning fog and frost patches are possible throughout south-eastern parts, but otherwise it will be a generally dry and mostly sunny day, with just the risk of a light shower throughout the very far western districts. Daytime temperatures will be within a couple of degrees of average, in the mid to high teens throughout south-eastern parts, grading up to the low 20s as we head further north. For Adelaide, a partly cloudy day and a top of 15 °C.
Moving on to WA, we do have that cold front brushing the far southern tip, bringing a few showers there. Otherwise, these remnant patchy showers and rain areas are expected to ease throughout the day through the interior. Maximum temperatures will be within a couple of degrees of average. For Perth, a mostly sunny day with some morning fog patches possible about the nearby hills and a top of 20 °C.
Moving on to the Territory. A dry and mostly sunny day, with just a slight risk of a light shower about the north-east Top End, and also some morning frost patches about the very far south. For Darwin, a sunny day and a top of 32 °C.
So if you are after a more detailed forecast for your local area, then you can head to the bureau's website or app.
Otherwise, we'll see you again tomorrow. Bye for now.
