00:00Hello and welcome to your New South Wales James weather update for Monday.
00:04We have some very clear skies across much of the state today.
00:08There's a bit of cloud that's coming in from a system that is developing over to the west.
00:12We do have damaging wind warnings for the snowies down and through here,
00:15but the wind is picking up definitely ahead of the cold front that is coming through.
00:19OK, let's have a look at day by day.
00:21We're in northwesterly winds, things are warm.
00:23In behind this we've got a little bit of wet weather, so let's watch it move through.
00:27Nothing out there today. There's Monday heading into Tuesday.
00:30It moves across the southern parts in through here, so it's heavier the further south you are.
00:34It doesn't really make it into the north. Yes, you'll see some cloud from that there.
00:38Now the cool change is up in through here by the end of the day on Tuesday.
00:42The heaviest falls are about the snowies here and just on the western side of the ranges in the very far south in through there.
00:49It really decreases as you head further north.
00:52That's Tuesday with the system coming through.
00:53On Wednesday, it does extend further northwards, but it really runs out of oomph.
00:57It extends just into the east there, but again, it runs out of oomph.
01:00That's the dry side of the ranges.
01:02We've just got the remains of that as it moves through.
01:04So Wednesday, it is an easing situation, particularly the wind too.
01:08The high-pressure system is large and is over us by the end of Wednesday.
01:12OK, so that's the first system that's moving through Tuesday into Wednesday.
01:16Let's now have a look at Thursday.
01:17Here's the head of that next system coming in down in through here.
01:20The wet weather is well back to the southwest during the day on Thursday.
01:26Let's move into Friday and have a look at this expanse.
01:29Now, we've had a lot of moisture that's pouring in from the north.
01:31That's going to meet up with this kick of low pressure coming in from the south.
01:35Moisture, instability, that equals rain.
01:38Now, this is widespread, but it's not the huge falls that we saw in that last one because there's no cut-off low to handle that.
01:44It's more like light and patchy rain moving through in a big cloud band.
01:50Now, there may be some embedded showers and thunderstorms in there too, and that could bring you a decent fall, but that's more localised activity.
01:57The light and patchy is the widespread part, which is maybe 2 to 5 millimetres as it comes in.
02:02Again, heavier in the far south on the western side of the ranges and hardly anything in through the east.
02:07So, that's on Friday as we get that moisture meeting up with that low pressure here into Saturday.
02:12It increases in these northern parts here.
02:14So, northeast New South Wales, particularly the western side of the ranges, it dries up as it heads into the east, not an east coast system.
02:21So, that's moving in through there.
02:23Still got it on the southwestern parts of the ranges in as well, but it dries up over the southwest.
02:27So, that's as it moves through on Saturday.
02:29Let's go Friday and then into Saturday to see that move through.
02:33By Sunday, hardly anything left, which has got this down in the southeast as a potential next system moves through, but not extending far north, and that is clearing out of there now.
02:41Let's move through the end of Sunday.
02:43So, what's that going to add up to?
02:45Generally, if you're in through these parts here, up to 5 millimetres in that light and patchy rain.
02:50Again, a shower or thunderstorm, locally heavier fall.
02:53In the southwest slopes in through here, up at the ranges, some decent falls.
02:56Not all is snow, unfortunately, but if you're right on the slopes, 15 to 25, it decreases as you head here.
03:02And by the time we get to Griffith, 1 to 5.
03:04We'll get that increase as we move into the northeastern ranges too, all on the western side and then drying up as it heads further east.
03:11So, let's go day by day.
03:13What to expect in Sydney?
03:14Sunshine, warm temperatures up on the 26th.
03:17Having a look at our dew point temperature, look what that's going to do.
03:20It bottoms out here as we go through Saturday.
03:23So, let's see what's happening.
03:24Lots of sunshine, bit of cloud as we move through Tuesday.
03:27There's no wet weather coming over to that side of the ranges.
03:29We'll just get the cloud from it.
03:31But temperatures decrease as we go into Thursday and through here, slight risk of some light wet weather.
03:36Temperatures increase again and then they go down.
03:39But it's mainly the overnight temperatures that go down because we lose the dew point.
03:43We lose the moisture in the air after that burst of it on Friday into Saturday that comes down from the north.
03:48What is Sydney getting out of this?
03:49Not a lot.
03:50Maybe two millimetres.
03:52And most of the wet weather falls in the early hours of Saturday morning before clearing up for the rest of the weekend.
03:57As always, head to Farmer Lonewether for the latest.
