00:00G'day from the Bureau with your national weather forecast around the country for
00:04Friday the 28th of November and we're going to continue this pattern of
00:09widespread rain and thunderstorm activity across northern and eastern
00:12Australia while high pressure continues to keep cooler and calmer conditions
00:16through southern and western parts of the country thanks to this high pressure
00:21ridge. Now Friday our focus will continue to be widespread rain and storms across
00:26the eastern inland of Queensland and New South Wales and another round of
00:31widespread shower and thunderstorm activity across our tropical north while
00:34elsewhere across the south and west will remain dry. Now let's have a closer look
00:38at a state-by-state focus. Firstly in Queensland for those along the coast
00:43it's going to be quite warm with humid onshore winds keeping a few showers
00:46through there but the focus really will be across inland parts of Queensland
00:51where we're likely to see widespread showers and thunderstorms and some of
00:54those could be severe extending from Mount Isa through the central west and
00:58down into the Marana Warrego and that could bring heavy rainfall and damaging
01:02winds. While in southeast Queensland another mild and humid day on the way
01:06mostly a few showers here and there but mostly pretty isolated Brisbane looking
01:10at 29 degrees with a possible afternoon shower. Now heading further down the
01:14coast into New South Wales again that pattern of widespread shower and
01:18thunderstorm activity will continue on and west of the ranges through New South
01:22Wales where temperature is actually cooler inland compared to some of our
01:25coastal locations. We could see showers and thunderstorms get to the central
01:29coast of New South Wales between Newcastle and Wollongong later in the
01:33day and we could see showers through Sydney with a top of 25 degrees but
01:37further inland towards Canberra it could see severe thunderstorms tomorrow
01:41afternoon top of 25 degrees there before those storms move in. Then heading down
01:46into Victoria a much calmer and quieter day on the way compared to what we saw
01:51earlier this week. Could see a few showers and thunderstorms move into
01:54eastern and northeastern parts of the state with temperatures in the low 30s
01:58there but fine and dry conditions through central and western parts of the
02:02state getting into the low 30s in the northwest but only into the low 20s
02:06through the south. Melbourne looking at a mild and humid 27 degrees with lots of
02:11sunshine. Now dropping down into Tasmania pretty similar conditions there easterly
02:16winds could continue to bring showers across eastern parts of the state but
02:20generally dry and partly cloudy conditions through western and northern
02:23parts with temperatures are just scraping in over the 20 degree mark.
02:27Hobart itself just falling shy of 20 degrees looking at 19 degrees with a
02:31possible shower or two. Now heading back up into South Australia again that high
02:36pressure system will continue to dominate conditions through South
02:39Australia so temperatures staying into the low 30s across northern parts and
02:42into the low to mid 20s through southern parts of South Australia. Could see a few
02:47showers and thunderstorms moving into eastern parts of the state late in the
02:50day and also see a few light showers to our southern inland areas as well. Adelaide
02:55looking at 25 degrees with a possible afternoon shower. Then heading further
02:59west into WA, pretty dry hot day expected across much of the state.
03:05Temperatures in the mid to high 30s across inland areas and up towards the
03:09Pilbara while along the west coast also looking pretty hot as that west coast
03:13trough shifts offshore bringing those easterly winds to our coastal locations.
03:17That's why I've seen temperatures in the mid to high 30s along the coast on
03:20Friday and Perth looking at a hot 37 degrees with lots of sunshine and those
03:24gusty easterly winds. Then as we head up to our tropical north looking at
03:29widespread showers and thunderstorms once again through parts of the NT and
03:33Kimberley area. Could see heavy falls again where we do have a flood watch
03:37current through parts of the Barkley area as this continuation of widespread
03:41showers and thunderstorms continue. Some of them could be severe with heavy
03:44rainfall as well particularly south of Katherine Darwin looking another warm
03:48humid day with some afternoon showers and thunderstorms 33 degrees. So if you're
