So now a state by state look, starting off in Queensland. It won't quite be as cold during the morning with cloud cover. We will see a few showers across southern and central inland areas. That'll start to push towards the coast but will mostly evaporate before reaching the coast, so for Brisbane and the south-east, only really the slight chance of a shower. Slight chance of a shower also across the tropical north, but otherwise looking at a dry day across the state. Maximum temperatures reach the low to mid 20s in the west, and then look a bit warmer in the north, reaching the low to mid 30s. For Brisbane, the slight chance of a shower with 24 degrees. Warm in Cairns with a top of 30.
Showers and rain for inland areas that will start to push towards the coast through the morning and tend to areas of rain for Sydney, the Hunter and also the Illawarra. Heaviest rainfall totals are expected along the coast, we could see up to 20 mm. 5 to 10 mm is possible through the ranges and snow is possible above about 1000m, but it will be a cold day, maximum temperatures up to 5 degrees below average and with colder southerly winds coming through, the feels like temperature will bring it down even further. Just 15 degrees in Sydney with rain. 12 degrees in Canberra with showers in the morning and afternoon.
Morning fog inland but then a dry day north of the divide. A few showers about the coastline. Heaviest through Gippsland, up to 5 mm is possible through there, 1 to 2 mm elsewhere. But south of the divide into the afternoon, we will start to see that cloud breaking up and afternoon sunshine is possible, including for Melbourne, with a top of 14 degrees remaining quite cool across the north, and we are expecting a cold night to follow, with those clear conditions coming later on Wednesday night.
Showers about the west coast and also the south coast in the morning that will contract to the east coast into the afternoon. Snow flurries are possible above about 1000m in the morning. Then we will start to see those conditions clearing up, and we will see a cold night to come as well. In Hobart, a possible shower with a top of 13 degrees.
Those south-easterly winds continue to push showers onto the coastline. They won't make it further north than about Port Augusta, and we will see generally between 2 to 5 mm or so. High force for Kangaroo Island, but it will be quite a cold day. Just 15 degrees in Adelaide with showers, 11 degrees in Mount Gambier but dry and a little bit milder across the north of the state.
We will see morning fog across the south-west, including the Perth metro and fog also for the Goldfields. Showers along the coast could push inland of the Eucla into the afternoon, but elsewhere, we are also looking at a dry and mostly sunny day. Perth a little bit warmer with a top of 18 degrees after a cold start and a little bit milder as we head up into the Pilbara.
A cold start through interior areas dipping down to zero degrees across the red center, we will see a few passing showers across the north of the NT and warm and dry across the Kimberley.
