Warming up in Adelaide

Ben Domensino, Monday April 15, 2019 - 17:04 AEST

Late-season warmth will cause very high fire danger ratings in parts of SA on Tuesday.

Warm northerly winds ahead of an approaching front will push temperatures well above average across the state. Adelaide's forecast top of 32 degrees is 10 degrees warmer than usual for April.

The Country Fire Service has forecast very high fire danger ratings in eight out of the state's 15 districts on Tuesday, including the Mount Lofty Ranges.

Adelaide's warmest April day on record at the West Terrace weather station was 36.3 degrees in 2018. This won't be challenged on Tuesday.

A very wet weekend for southeast Qld, northeast NSW

11:48 AEST A prolonged rainfall event is set to bring large totals to parts of NSW and Qld from Saturday, with possible heavy falls and flooding. A low-pressure system in the Coral Sea, a deepening coastal trough and persistent easterlies will bring moisture-laden air into southeast Qld and northeast NSW will bring days of rainfall to the region. While there is not a drop of rain on the radar over southeast Qld and Northeast NSW on Friday morning, the mass of cloud associated with a low in the Coral Sea will enhance rainfall over the weekend.
