Special report
Monsoon:
Severe Tropical Cyclone 03P (Jasper) is now moving at 5knots, 1300km ENE of Cairns. So basically we should have named it Uncle Arthur, although at least Jasper is not looping yet.
Jasper has a ridge over the coast slowing its movement, however, that should shift South and allow it to move closer. Again, 4 days out, will be roughly 600km from Cairns, then we would have a good idea.
Storms:
Troughs will bring showers and storms to WA, the NT, SA, NSW, and far north QLD. Hot winds will be directed over the interior and east of the country. A cold front will bring cooling gusty winds and showers to TAS and VIC.
Warnings:
Severe Thunderstorm Warning (Damaging Winds) for parts of Goldfields and Eucla districts.
Strong Wind Warnings for various coastal areas, with cancellations for Geraldton Coast and South West Coast.
Fire Weather Warnings for North East Pastoral, E Eyre, Flinders, Mid North, Mount Lofty Ranges, Yorke Peninsula, Riverland, Mallee, Wimmera, and Northern Riverina and South Western.
Gale Warning for Western and Southern Areas.
Severe Weather Warning (Winds) for multiple districts in South Australia.
Downy Mildew Advice for Mid North and Mount Lofty Ranges.
Strong Wind Warnings for Port Phillip & Central and East Gippsland coasts, Spencer Gulf, Gulf St Vincent, Investigator Strait & Central, South Central & Upper South East coasts, Illawarra, Batemans, and Eden coasts.
Minor Flood Warnings for the Latrobe River and Thomson River.
Additional Fire Weather Warnings for Ashburton Coast and Mortlock.
