State conditions

QLD:

Hold onto your hats, Queenslanders! A trough is making its way through the west, ready to bid adieu on Monday. Meanwhile, a ridge in the east is flexing its muscles as a high saunters over to the Tasman Sea for a little holiday. Watch out for that weak equatorial trough hanging out in the Gulf of Carpentaria and northern Coral Sea - it's mixing things up with the ridge to whip up some onshore winds along the northeast coast. But fear not, for come Wednesday and Thursday, the ridge and winds will calm down as the high takes a hike. Keep an eye out for a trough sneaking into the southwest on Thursday, making its way across southern Queensland on Friday, and then lazily drifting west over the weekend. And just when you thought it couldn't get any more exciting, a new high might pop into the Tasman Sea next weekend, strengthening the ridge over the southeast. Oh, and let's not forget about that equatorial trough up north - it's slowly deepening and might just turn into a monsoon trough by Friday. Keep your umbrellas handy, because one or more tropical lows could rear their heads in the Gulf of Carpentaria and Coral Sea by the end of the week. Stay safe out there, folks!

NSW and ACT:

Get ready for some wild weather antics this week, as a high pressure system decides to take a leisurely stroll towards the Tasman Sea while a stubborn trough hangs out in the northern inland. By Monday and Tuesday, this trough is planning to throw a tantrum and deepen before making its way east as a cold front decides to crash the party down south. This chaotic pattern will bring in a hot and unstable airmass, followed by a cool and gusty southerly change that will leave you feeling like you're on a rollercoaster ride. And just when you thought the drama was over, the trough decides to park itself along the north coast for the rest of the week, making sure you don't forget about its presence. So, be sure to buckle up and stay safe during these stormy and heatwave-filled days ahead. It's going to be a wild ride!

VIC:

Well folks, it seems like we've got ourselves a high pressure system lounging over the Bight, extending its ridge over Victoria this weekend. Just when you thought things couldn't get more exciting, the ridge will saunter over to the Tasman Sea on Monday, while a trough joins the party with a cold front crossing Tasmania and the State. But wait, there's more! The next ridge of high pressure strolls in on Tuesday. With all these weather shenanigans going on, it's important to stay safe and prepared for any storms or heatwaves that may come our way. So buckle up and enjoy the ride, because it's going to be a wild weather week ahead!

SA:

Prepare for some wild weather as a high pressure system makes its way across the country, followed by a low pressure trough causing havoc in the west. Stay safe as storms and heatwaves are expected in various parts of the country. Remember to take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones.

WA:

Well, it seems like there's a bit of a low-pressure situation loitering around the northern part of the State. You might want to keep an eye on that, especially if you don't want to end up caught in any unexpected stormy shenanigans or heatwave hijinks. Stay safe out there!

TAS:

Prepare for some wild weather ahead as a high pressure system decides to throw a tantrum over Tasmania before moving on. Expect a cold front to crash the party on Monday, followed by a high that just won't leave on Tuesday and Wednesday. Stay safe out there, folks, and hold on tight during the stormy times ahead!

NT:

Well, it seems like NT is getting a bit of a mixed bag weather-wise. We've got low pressure, troughs, and ridges all over the place. And just to keep things interesting, another trough is making its way into the mix on Monday. So, buckle up folks, it's going to be a bumpy ride with potential storms and heatwaves on the horizon. Stay safe out there and keep an eye on the forecast. You never know what Mother Nature has up her sleeve!
