Showers and storms are sweeping across QLD, the Top End, and the eastern interior of the NT, along with the northern and eastern regions of NSW, driven by unstable winds. Meanwhile, TAS and southern VIC are experiencing showers under cool winds. The rest of the area remains mostly dry and settled, thanks to high pressure, except for western WA, where hot and dry winds are prevailing.

Storms - Extreme Weather - Fire danger

State

A high-pressure system in the Tasman Sea is weakening but maintaining a ridge over the eastern state, while another high-pressure system south of Australia strengthens, bringing stable weather after a passing trough. An approaching upper low might enhance rainfall in southeastern and central Queensland, while a trough in the north could lead to a weak tropical low and increased rainfall in the far northern Peninsula.
