00:00Hello, it's Angus here at the Bureau, it is Friday, that means a look at your weekend
00:04weather and yet again another wet one for New South Wales.
00:08But much of the rest of the country looking fairly fine, particularly on Sunday which
00:13is Mother's Day, so a little bit of good news there.
00:15Let's start off with the overview for the country and this is where the rain is focused
00:20this weekend.
00:21Mostly New South Wales, also spilling into southern parts of Queensland and at times
00:25northern and eastern parts of Victoria as well.
00:28Not a lot to point out on the map aside from that, a lot of these things, a lot of sunshines
00:32for the rest of the country with fairly settled weather in store.
00:36As we play through Saturday afternoon into Sunday, we'll see generally fine conditions
00:40continuing.
00:41By and large the rain is drifting eastwards but if we stop things on Sunday morning, maybe
00:46Sunday around midday or so, good time to take Mum out for brunch.
00:51On Mother's Day we'll see, well could still be a bit wet for Sydney, Canberra and Brisbane
00:55with rain or showers continuing in those three capitals but the wet weather should
00:59have cleared out of Melbourne and Hobart for some relatively fine conditions there, then
01:04fine and sunny through South Australia, Northern Territory, Western Australia and a lot of
01:08Queensland as well, away from the southeast.
01:12That's where we'll stay through Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening as well.
01:15Let's just zoom in and play that one more time across the area that is getting most
01:19of the rainfall and it will be coastal parts of New South Wales that see the heaviest falls.
01:24Now we have issued a severe weather warning for some parts of the south coast.
01:28I'm not going to go into all those details here because shortly after this video gets
01:32posted, there will be another video that breaks down the rain, the warnings and the wet weather
01:37that is to come this weekend in New South Wales.
01:39Quick overview of how much rain we might see when we're getting into these red shadings,
01:43we're looking at 50mm or more so could see 50 plus through central and coastal parts of the
01:47state, we won't get that much wet weather for southern Queensland or Victoria but certainly
01:52in those states in the coming couple of days.
01:55Elsewhere across the country it's mostly dry, you can't see any of the colour through these
01:58dry parts of the map, little bit of thunderstorm activity about and south of Perth, most of that
02:04coming on Friday evening before drying up once again for the weekend and the only other spot
02:09really to point out is around the north tropical coast of Queensland where there will be persistent
02:13onshore showers.
02:15Let's check out temperatures for the weekend and nothing too remarkable, most places are
02:19within a couple of degrees of the May averages, this is Saturday morning, minimum temperatures,
02:24high single digits through a lot of the southeast and the centre of the country
02:28with double digits almost everywhere else and of course the nights stay warm across
02:32the tropical north and many places 1 or 2 degrees above average for the day on Saturday,
02:37that puts a lot of places about 20 degrees across southern Australia, about 25 to 28
02:43through the centre and still in the 30s up north and no big changes for Sunday.
02:47Single digits for many again so a bit of a brisk morning on Mother's Day but a nice
02:52fine afternoon and a lot of these places in the south which average 16 to 18 degrees at
02:56this time of year, we'll be seeing 18 to 20 so 1 or 2 degrees above the norm once again.
03:02You can get more detail for your precise location with your forecast on the Bureau's
03:06website and app and we'll keep you up to date for all things weather on social media too.
