Thursday - Latest

An active monsoon is generating organised bands of rain and storms over northern parts of WA and the NT. A trough over southern WA is bringing showers and storms, whilst drawing hot air from the Interior ahead of it. A broad high in the southeast is bringing settled conditions.

Friday 22:00 EDT

TC Yvette within the monsoon trough will remain offshore. A weakening low over inland WA may produce areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Warm air moving ahead of a trough will shift further into SA. Another trough over the east coast will bring coastal showers.

Saturday 22:00 EDT

TC Yvette within the monsoon trough will move closer to the WA coast, causing wind and rain to increase. Hot air will remain over SA and begin to move into VIC. A trough over the NT and QLD will produce rain and storms. Another trough over the east coast will bring showers.

Sunday 22:00 EDT

TC Yvette and a broad region of low pressure in the north and west could produce widespread showers and storms, heavy over inland areas. Hot air moving ahead of the rain will remain in SA and VIC. Moist onshore winds along the QLD coast could bring showers.

Monday 22:00 EDT

A broad region of low pressure over the west and north could bring areas of heavy rain and storms, especially about southern parts of the NT and northern areas of SA. Warm air moving ahead of the rain will move into NSW. Onshore winds along the QLD coast may produce showers.
