National

More rain being sent on the conveyor belt (blue arrow) to the top end via the High in the Tasman. There is a very faint swirl (purple arrow) on the Satellite which should be the low moving towards QLD now. It will capture some of that cloud to the East of it. It is not faint because it is weak, it is faint because it is low-level cloud and not enough light picking it up.

BOM Satellite
Weatherzone radar

The radar is showing some rain at the top end and the synoptic is showing isobars over the coast, marked with blue arrows to indicate where the ridge is. The ridge slows rain from crossing the coast. The isobars (strong white lines) show the low more clearly near New Caledonia (purple arrow).


State

Rainfall around the top end as mentioned before we should start to see more along the Far Northern tropics of a steady nature later tomorrow, just scattered showers tonight. Temps may drop in the afternoon with the cloud cover moving in, but still expect it to be hot early. Still scattered showers in exposed regions of the coast around the Whitsundays and Mackay. And humidity looks like it is staying relatively high with the cloud coverage due tomorrow afternoon.

Many don't realise the time spent on bringing a forecast by the major institutions like the BOM, ECWMF and NCEP. Add to that the time it takes for someone to add their analysis and add that to an app. That's the middleman. What I am aiming to do is put you into the analysis seat, and equip you with what you need, in order to understand and work out what you think the forecast will be. Use free apps, they are awesome. Windy, Weatherzone, Metoelogix, tropical tidbits, ncep, whatever, they are free.


So now you know what I do, it does cost me to save you time and bring you the most up-to-date way of getting your forecast. So to support me you don't need to subscribe to an app, just take out an annual shout. And in return, I give you some extra training. $5 for those that just want to know the basics, $55 for those that want to learn more in-depth. http://wallysweather.com.au/yourshout
