National Synoptic Situation
National Temperature and Rainfall
State conditions
QLD:
So, it seems like we've got a ridge chilling by the coast and a trough throwing some shade over the central part of our state. This trough is apparently going to deepen on Thursday, before deciding to take a little road trip eastward later in the week, eventually setting up camp in the east over the weekend. With all this talk of troughs and ridges, it's important to remember to stay safe out there, especially with potential storms and heatwaves on the horizon. Just a friendly reminder to keep cool and be prepared for whatever weather shenanigans Mother Nature decides to throw our way.
NSW and ACT:
Well, looks like our state is in for some fun times with a high pressure ridge and low pressure system battling it out. The high pressure system is flexing its muscles and expected to make an appearance along the coast today. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, a cold front is set to crash the party late Thursday into early Saturday. With all this atmospheric drama happening, it's best to stay safe and be prepared for whatever Mother Nature decides to throw our way. Whether it's storms or heatwaves, make sure you have a plan in place to weather the storm, both literally and figuratively. Stay safe out there!
VIC:
Hold onto your hats, folks! A high pressure system over the NSW coast is doing a disappearing act as a low pressure system and cold front make their grand entrance. Brace yourselves for some serious northerly winds on Thursday, followed by the front sweeping through western Victoria in the afternoon and making its way to central districts by nightfall. By Friday, we can expect a gentler west to southwesterly airstream to take over, giving us a breather from the stormy antics. But wait, there's more - a weak cold front is set to sneak past southern Victoria on Saturday, while a high near the Bight will be making its way towards western Victoria on Sunday. So, stay safe out there and hold onto your umbrellas - it's going to be a wild ride!
SA:
Get ready for some stormy weather, folks! A high pressure system is making its way over New South Wales, causing some wild conditions. As if that's not enough, a cold front in South Australia is set to sweep through, bringing with it some intense heatwaves. But fear not, a ridge of high pressure will come to the rescue, calming things down over the weekend. Just remember to stay safe and keep an eye out for any extreme weather warnings. Mother nature sure knows how to keep us on our toes!
WA:
Well, looks like Mother Nature is feeling a bit moody with a trough extending from the Pilbara all the way into the Interior. This could lead to some stormy weather ahead, so make sure to batten down the hatches and stay safe out there. And don't forget to stay cool in the heatwave that might be coming your way.
TAS:
Buckle up, Tasmania! We've got a high pressure system hanging out over the eastern seaboard, pushing hot air our way. It's like a relentless hairdryer on full blast. And just when you think you can't take any more heat, a cold front is coming to crash the party on Friday. Think of it as nature's way of saying, "Time to cool off, folks!" But wait, there's more - a trough is heading our way on Saturday, followed by a second one on Sunday. It's like a never-ending rollercoaster of weather events. So, stay safe out there and remember to hydrate like your life depends on it. Because let's face it, in these stormy and scorching conditions, it just might.
NT:
Hold onto your hats, folks! A sneaky trough is lazing about in the northern Barkly and Tanami Districts, while a ridge is sprawling down south in the Northern Territory. Brace yourselves for a surge in temperatures across the southern and central regions, as a trough gears up to sweep through on Thursday, unleashing showers and thunderstorms in its wake. But fear not, for a new ridge will strut into town on Friday, giving us a breather with cooler temperatures for a day or two. Stay safe out there and don't let the storms or heatwaves catch you off guard!

Temperature and Rainfall Forecast - Access-G
Thursday, 26th December
Get ready to bask in the above-average temperatures in western Queensland, while those in the northeast can enjoy slightly below-average temps. Don't be surprised if you encounter isolated showers north of Bowen, with a chance of a gusty thunderstorm in the central western and southern interior - Mother Nature is feeling a bit moody today. Stay safe out there and remember to keep hydrated during this severe heatwave, especially in the North West. And if you happen to get caught in a storm, just remember to stay indoors and watch the show from the safety of your home.
Friday, 27th December
Well, it seems like Mother Nature is feeling a bit moody today, with isolated showers and thunderstorms potentially causing a ruckus from the Gulf Country down to the southern interior of our lovely state. Don't be surprised if you get caught in a downpour or two! Meanwhile, up north in the North Tropical Coast, there may be some isolated showers to keep things interesting. And let's not forget about the scorching temperatures in the northwestern, central, and most southern parts of the state. It's going to be hotter than a jalapeรฑo in a salsa competition, so make sure you stay cool and hydrated. In fact, things might get so hot that severe heatwave conditions could pop up in parts of central and southeastern Queensland. So, remember to take it easy, stay indoors if you can, and drink plenty of water. Let's all try to weather this storm, both metaphorically and literally, and stay safe out there!
Saturday, 28th December
Beware, my fellow Queenslanders, for the skies may bring forth scattered showers and thunderstorms in certain regions today. It appears that the central and southeast areas east of Longreach to Goondiwindi, as well as northern Queensland, may experience some turbulent weather. As for the rest of the state, expect partly cloudy conditions. In terms of temperatures, brace yourselves for above-average or even well above-average highs in the northwestern, central, and most southern areas (excluding the far southwest). It seems that severe heatwave conditions could be on the horizon for parts of northeast, central, and southeastern Queensland. Remember to take precautions and stay safe during any storms or heatwaves that may come our way. Let's weather this weather together, Queenslanders!
Sunday, 29th December
Watch out, Queenslanders! We've got some isolated to scattered showers and a sneaky thunderstorm or two heading our way. Keep an eye out for those storms in central and southeast Queensland - except for you lucky ones in the North West, you get a pass. As for the rest of us, expect some partly cloudy skies and temperatures that are either above average or well above average. Yep, it's going to be a scorcher in northwestern, central, and most southern parts of the state. But don't worry, things should cool down a bit in the far southwest on Sunday and in the southeast on Monday and Tuesday. Now, I know we all love a good heatwave, but let's try to stay safe out there. Those severe heatwave conditions might ease up in central and southeastern Queensland, but they could stick around in parts of the northeast. So, remember to stay hydrated, find some shade, and maybe invest in a good old-fashioned fan. Stay cool, Queensland!
