00:03Hello, South Western Australia. It is the 8th of November and this is your weather update for the
00:07week ahead. There's a bit of rain on the way but it's towards the end of the week which is
00:11possibly
00:11going to be associated with some thunderstorms. It should also be warming up in terms of temperature
00:15after a few chillier days. Let's have a look at the rainfall possibility this week and we can see a
00:21lot of it is concentrated down in this southern coastal area 25 to 50 mils but you know the rest
00:27of this sort of southwestern box is going to get a bit of rain hopefully this week, anywhere between
00:31one and five mils in the blue, sorry one and ten mils in the blue and then in these greens
00:35anywhere
00:36between 10 and 25 mils. So there's definitely some rainfall potential with that. Let's have a look at
00:41the current warnings. So we have some marine wind warnings along the southern coast and along the
00:45western coast as well and some more wind warnings there on Monday because it is a very windy week
00:50ahead I would say. If we have a look here, this is just an example. I've just chosen Monday to
00:55show
00:56the wind gusts but you know a typical week that I think we've seen in the last few months has
01:00been
01:00a lot of the blues whereas a lot of greens and yellows this week. So yeah definitely some gusty
01:06conditions are coming this way and they're there for a lot of the first half of the week especially.
01:10They kind of ease off a little bit as a high pressure system moves in and then ramp up again
01:14in the weekend. So definitely some strong winds on the way to keep in mind. That being said let's go
01:18through the rainfall forecast. Okay so we have this sort of cyclone sitting down here currently on Sunday.
01:23It's got a front extending up through it that weakens to a trough as it approaches that southwest corner
01:28so I don't think it's going to make much of an impact when it arrives tonight sort of thing
01:31down here in the sort of Perth region. Other than that it's relatively dry today on Sunday
01:35and similar again for Monday. This is where those marine wind warnings are coming from for the west coast
01:41there. Looking ahead to Tuesday there's a little bit of rain anywhere between sort of one and five mils
01:47down in this region. And then we also have here this little circle is a localized low center
01:52and we've got quite a few of them across the country which are driving a lot of rain.
01:56And from about Wednesday I'm seeing that rain turn into the possibility of thunderstorms.
02:03So Wednesday I'm seeing them, Tuesday and Wednesday I've seen them around the sort of Geraldton region.
02:09And then Thursday these sort of rain which has gone from you know possibility 15 to 25 mils
02:14now comes a little bit more to the interior of WA and also those border regions.
02:18And I've seen some thunderstorms associated with that on the Thursday.
02:21Again there is a possibility of that sort of 25 to 50 mils but more likely between the 5 and
02:2725
02:27range across those areas. All right Friday it eases again for most of WA. That western part of
02:33South Australia is going to get sort of the 2 to 5 mils there. And then Saturday I have also
02:39seen maybe this is associated with a light thunderstorm. Not a lot of confidence there,
02:43but Sunday I've definitely seen this little blob 15 to 25 mils associated with possible thunderstorms.
02:49In some models this blob sits a little bit further into this sort of border region. Our current AI
02:55model is showing it down here in the south of the WA border region. So that's what's coming on the
03:01way
03:01this week for southern WA. In terms of temperatures, if we look here this is the Monday 1 pm temperature.
03:07You can see it's quite cool in this little pocket. But if we zip ahead somewhere to Wednesday,
03:13we should see that it's probably going to warm up a little bit as the week heads through. So
03:18that you can see some more oranges down there. So a little bit warmer as the week continues. Okay,
03:22so in summation we have calmer conditions at the start of the week. They're a bit cooler.
03:28As it warms up we have some moderate to heavy rainfall with some thunderstorms on the way.
03:34And then we also have strong winds throughout the week. Okay. Do stay safe. Have a great week.
03:39And we will see you next time. Bye.
