hello my friends my name is Simo let's get started hello from the bureau with an update on the severe weather that's buffering Southeastern parts of the country now we've had a series of cold fronts that have moved across this weekend and brought some really damaging and destructive winds to the area and we have another one on its way tonight now we're forecasting the winds to re-intensify about Southeastern parts of South Australia this afternoon and then to continue to re-intensify as the cold front moves eastwards now uh damaging winds are possible anywhere within this uh colored area and that's winds in excess of 90 km per hour and over 100 kilm per hour for Tasmania however there's also the risk of locally destructive so winds in excess of 125 km per hour about the west coast and Central Coast of Victoria including the bellerine peninsula and the Southeastern suburbs of Melbourne also the Northeast ranges of vict Toria may also have the locally destructive winds and the west and North Coast of Tasmania now those winds are expected to gradually ease from the West as the cold front tracks eastwards and it's in the early hours of tomorrow that the winds about the east coast of New South Wales will really start to increase so that's places like the ilara the Sydney Metropolitan and the hunter now Winds of these strengths do have the potential to bring down both trees and branches that may cause property damage also bring down power lines that could could uh lead to power outages and also loose objects maybe blown around and cause further damage so let's take a look at the front and how it moves through so here we going to see it approaches the southeast reaching uh reaching the far Southeast during later this evening and we're forecasting it to move through the Melbourne area somewhere between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. now we're expecting a line of showers and thunderstorms to form along that frontal band much colder conditions behind the front though with the potential for small hail and as well snow down to low levels so just having a look at that seeing it scoot across out into the tasmin sea clearing during Monday with an easing of the showers gradually as this high pressure system here moves in and sees a return of the settled and clear weather by Tuesday so how much rainfall are we EXP expecting here we're taking a look at the accumulated rainfall so that's between now and Monday 6:00 p.m. you can see the heaviest rainfall is expected in the Westerly flow about western parts and Northern parts of Tasmania where they may see a further 50 mm looking at Victoria however the heavier rainfall totals are expected on and south of the ranges with the potential of 5 to 15 mm and isolated totals higher than this now Tasmania has seen a lot of showers and rain over the past week with these series of cold fronts and it has led to really swollen river systems there are a number of minor to mod moderate flood warnings current and even a major flood warning for the Durant and that's the Durant is expected to Peak later this afternoon at the major flood level however there is a broader with this blue area here a broader flood watch and that is due to the ground being so primed that any further the rainfall could lead to a really quick response from the catchments so uh the apart from the wind the there has been very large and Powerful waves that have been gener generated by this vigorous Westerly flow and we're uh expecting Seas to Peak tomorrow afternoon between 7 to 9 M off the west coast of Victoria and Tasmania now there are also abnormally high tides that are expected to Peak on Monday and especially through the port Philip Bay Western Port and Lake entrance we're forecasting the tides to potentially lead to inundation of low-lying areas so if you or anyone you know lives across Southeastern parts of the country it's important they stay up to date with our latest warnings via the bureau website the app or social media and as always listen to the advice from the your local emergency services bye
