Weekend weather update: Millions set for weekend drenching
As millions of Australians pushed a deep cold façade throughout the country, the wide rain and wild wind are prepared for a weekend for a weekend foreseen.
Meteorology Bureau Meteorologist Mirium Bradbury, Thursday afternoon “a large rainfall” moved throughout the country and “in the coming days, damage to some parts of Australia,” he said.
“While this rain system moves to the east, it is quite common in the coming days of Australia.
“But the area I really want to focus is this area in the Southeast, including sections of South Australia, Western Victoria and Inland NSW.
“These areas have seen significant rainfall vulnerabilities for the last six, 12, even 18 months.
“The rain we expect in the coming days will not do much to overcome these long -term deficits, but there will be good news for most of our communities in these very dry regions of Australia. However, not without their own danger.”
Ms. Bradbury, South Australia and Western Victoria in many areas of flood risks, warned 20 to 40mm, he said.
“This can lead to very dangerous driving conditions as these roads become slippery with rain and visibility decreases.
“As this system moves throughout the country, the other basic effect we expect is damaging winds.
“In four different states of Australia, we have published violent air warnings to damage winds.
Queensland, Northern region, South Australia and Western Australia.
Ms. Bradbury said that the risk of damaging the winds focuses on Friday, but could see some damaging gusts until Thursday evening of the southern coast of Western Australia.
Ne So what does all this wet and windy air direct? The answer is a cold front, ”he said.
“Yesterday crossed the west coast and brought significant storms to the Perth region, and now it is moving in the inner parts of the Western Australia, and in most WA leads a wide range of rainfall.
“The system is connected to a low -pressure system sitting in the south of the continent, and this is low, it will help to push this cold façade and rain band to the east in the next few days.”
The cold façade of Friday is expected to pull the rain band to the east and rain in the southern regions of South Australia, Western Victoria, NSW and Queensland.
“The rain will be widespread, wetting it, and it will take a few hours. Unlike the Potchier shower, we expect to retreat behind that frontal system.
“Winds are really expected to increase during (Friday).
“This powerful wind band is moving to the Eastern states on Saturday on Friday and pushing it towards the front east and we see that these strong winds move on the east coast.
The system slowly starts to move in the sea and the winds begin to alleviate throughout Saturday. “
Mrs. Bradbury advised to keep it above all warnings and updates, especially for areas around the East South Australia, Victoria and Inland NSW.
“Friday and Saturday, this system will definitely be the most thermal days when moving throughout the country.”
Apart from the cold façade, Darwin remains open with 31 and 22 low winds at the weekend.
Brisbane will see permanent showers after the weekend before it was immersed to at least 9 degrees on Tuesday.
Melbourne and Sydney will also experience scattered showers with temperatures expected to be in normal range for this time of the year.
After the weekend, Adelaide’s north-east winds are expected to remain cloudy about 20km/s.
