Cold Fronts Sweep Southern Australia With Wind, Rain

BOM
Hello from the Bureau, with your weekly weather wrap for Sunday the 14th of September.

Today, we're seeing some clear skies across northern, central, and south-east Australia, but unsettled weather is brewing in the west.

A strong cold front will cross southern Western Australia today, bringing widespread damaging winds. Extreme Fire Dangers ahead of the front, with gutsy showers, storms, and a burst of cold air following. Rainfall totals will generally be low away from the south-west corner. Elsewhere, conditions are generally settled, apart from scattered showers through northern Queensland, and more isolated showers across the eastern Top End and western Tasmania.

On Monday, warm and windy conditions build through South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, and southern New South Wales as the cold front approaches, with showers and isolated thunderstorms developing later. In WA, expect cold, gusty conditions along the south coast, with small hail and thunderstorms. Showers also continue about the northern Queensland coast.

Tuesday will see the cold front hitting the south-east states in force, bringing wet, windy, and stormy conditions, dropping temperatures and snow levels. Showers across the Cape York Peninsula and coastal parts of the Top End, and in the west staying cool and mostly settled.

By Wednesday, conditions broadly start to ease through south-east Australia. At the same time, a new, showery cold front reaches south-west WA. Humid conditions in the north, with morning fogs and isolated showers across coastal parts of northern WA, the Top End, and eastern Queensland.

Warming up on Thursday across much of the country, with showers moving through the south.

By Friday and into next weekend, a wet weather system is likely to reach the south-east, tapping into tropical moisture and bringing rain to much of South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania. It's still too far out to pin down exact totals, but rain is likely to reach inland parts of the east and south-east.

That's it for this week, see you next time.
