After months of wet weather affecting those in northern Australia, the next week brings lots of activity for southern Australia.
Above: rain projections for the next 8 days.
Breaking it down from Wednesday to Saturday, the main activity is likely to be over eastern NSW and VIC thanks to a moisture laden trough. Showers and storms, along with areas of widespread rain. Affecting inland parts on Wednesday and Thursday, then mainly right at the east coast on Friday and Saturday.
On the weekend, activity ramps up on the western side of the country. A tropical low should track off the northwest coast, pushing moisture down into southern WA from Saturday.
