In Western Australia, expect widespread wet weather from the south coast to the northwest, with potential for flash flooding in the Pilbara and Gascoyne regions. Meanwhile, the east coast is in for some chilly mornings and scattered showers.

00:00Unseasonal rainfall for parts of the west, while wintry conditions kick back in for the
00:04east this week.
00:05I'm Angus, this is the National Weather Forecast at the Bureau of Meteorology.
00:08Let's take a look at the weather for the 4th of August, that'll be Tuesday, and we
00:13can see some rain really spreading across the west coast during the morning on Tuesday,
00:18all the way from the south coast way up to the northwest.
00:21Through central Australia, high pressure keeps things relatively settled and in control,
00:25but across the southeast, a messy looking pair of lows near Tasmania will bring some scattered
00:31showers through Victoria and Tasmania tomorrow, but we will see cold air spreading much further
00:37northwards into New South Wales, South Australia and even southern Queensland over the course
00:41of the next two to three days.
00:43Let's go around the states, starting in Queensland, and it will be a dry, settled and sunny day
00:48near statewide here.
00:49The only risk for showers is the north tropical coast area about in south of Cairns.
00:54Temperatures in the morning will be fresh, but daytime highs very mild indeed, including
00:5923 degrees in Brisbane.
01:02A cold morning is expected across New South Wales tomorrow.
01:05Many places in the low single digits, some trending towards sub-zero, could see some negatives
01:10around parts of the interior, particularly on the western slopes and plains.
01:14Daytime maximum temperatures trending near average, about 20 degrees across the east coast,
01:1919 in Sydney, cooler inland including Canberra at 12.
01:23Chance for rainfall around the snowy mountains and snowy valleys, and we could even see a
01:27flurry of snow above about a thousand metres.
01:31Southwesterly winds will pepper southern and eastern Victoria with showers through the day
01:35tomorrow.
01:36None of the showers are expected to be especially heavy or prolonged, meaning our rainfall totals
01:40won't be large, but it will feel like a bit of a wet day everywhere from Warrnambool,
01:44across Geelong, out through Melbourne, down to Wilson's Prom and right across Gippsland.
01:49All of these places expecting to see at least a couple of stints of showery weather tomorrow.
01:53It will feel very wintery as well because the winds are chilly and fairly brisk.
01:57On the northern side of the range is much less rainfall, but still getting some of those
02:02cool winds and cloudy skies throughout the day.
02:05Melbourne's got a high of 13, but given that wind chill, might feel more like 10 degrees.
02:10Scattered showers expected around parts of Tasmania tomorrow.
02:13Maybe Hobart's seeing a little bit of rainfall around lunchtime, but plenty of dry weather
02:17either side of that.
02:18As we get towards the afternoon and evening, the west coast starts to see some more substantial
02:22wet weather.
02:23Overall, our rainfall totals expected to be fairly low, and some spots, particularly around
02:27Launceston and towards the east coast, might see nothing at all.
02:31The wind shouldn't be especially strong, but temperatures will be about average.
02:37This time around, the rain associated with the wet weather in the south mostly avoids South
02:42Australia.
02:43So we're looking at a pretty dry day across the state here.
02:45It will be fairly cloudy through our southern districts, with the chance of a spot of very
02:49light drizzle, but I wouldn't read much into that wet weather risk.
02:53As you track northwards, it's both sunnier and warmer.
02:55We could see temperatures into the 20s for central parts of the country, but we're likely
03:00to be hanging in the mid-teens around southern parts of the state.
03:03Adelaide has a high of 14.
03:05The wind will be light, so spending time outdoors is not too unpleasant.
03:09This is where the action is out west when it comes to rainfall.
03:12Widespread wet weather all the way from Exmouth down to Albany during the morning.
03:16For those of you in Perth, most of your rain is actually going to come overnight and through
03:20the early morning.
03:21So as you're getting up and getting into your day tomorrow, we're already on the improving
03:25trend.
03:25And from lunchtime onwards, it's actually tending really bright and quite sunny for areas south
03:31of Geraldton.
03:32That said, we will get a bit of rainfall in the next 24 hours, with many people between
03:365 and 15 millimetres of rain.
03:38But we actually could see some heavier falls right around the northwest.
03:42Parts of the Gascoigne and Pilbara between Carnarvon and Exmouth could see closer to 50 millimetres,
03:47maybe more.
03:48And that could lead to some areas of flash flooding up around this corner of the state.
03:52So definitely something to keep in mind there.
03:54Perth headed for 19 degrees, morning rainfall but brightening up.
03:58And across the north of the country, it's very settled and sunny.
04:02That's how we've been for the last few days.
04:04That's how we're going to continue into Tuesday and through the week beyond.
04:08Temperatures in the 20s down south, in the 30s up north.
04:11And across the top end, there are a number of fires at the moment.
04:15It's a combination of bushfires and planned burns, but that's creating some smoky conditions
04:19for communities around northern parts of the Northern Territory, as well as some parts
04:24of the Kimberley in Western Australia.
04:27Stay up to date with the latest with your weather forecasts, always available on the Bureau's
04:31website and weather app.
04:32Thanks for watching and have a great day.
