A slow moving trough extends from east of Adelaide to Mt Isa and back into the Northern Territory and will deepen over the weekend as an upper level cold pool approaches in from the west. At the same time a high in the Tasman Sea is directing a warm and moist airflow into Queensland east of the trough and down into the South East States. These three elements will combine to trigger increasing showers and thunderstorms across parts of Victoria New South Wales and Queensland with some possible localised heavy falls with NSW and parts of the ACT expected to record the more widespread heavier falls with widespread totals in the 30 to 60mm range over the weekend.
Parts of Victoria and southern New South Wales are expected to record quite heavy falls especially on Sunday with warnings for heavy rainfall already issued in Victoria
A second system is expected to form in Western Australia on Sunday and deepen on Monday as it moves east with another burst of possible heavy falls although at this stage there is still some variation in the positioning of the low and resulting rainfall so it will still be another day or two before the location and amounts of rainfall will be clearer.
