Western Australia's stormy cold front to cross the country

Western Australia has been battered by a stormy cold front, but the weather system is only just beginning its march across the country. The past few days have brought the most widespread rainfall of the year so far to Australia, with rain in every state and territory and snow in alpine areas. But a severe storm in WA has hit the state's south west and will crawl eastwards to bring more rainfall across the nation. A warning was issued for WA as Perth was hit hard by lightning and hail. There was also risk of flash flooding in the western capital. Wilyabrup in the Margaret River region recorded 72mm of rain in just six hours overnight, while peak winds of 98km/h were experienced in Cape Naturaliste. Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Angus Hines said the stormy cold front will cross the south of the country by Tuesday. 'We'll watch this band of rains start to sweep eastwards again into South Australia, once again back into New South Wales and southern parts of Queensland on Tuesday next week. 'So this is going to be a follow-up spell of wet weather across the parts of the country which have just had a band of wet weather. 'And for most places, this will be another welcome spell of rain.' The country's east has already faced a weekend cold front as almost every capital city experienced downpours. Dry parts of South Australia, Victoria and NSW welcomed wet weather, however it still has not caught up with rainfall deficiencies this year. The upcoming band is not set to be as heavy as the weekend weather, but some areas will receive a 'top up' of up to 15mm. Monday will be dry in the north of Australia under a high pressure system. WA will still experience some showers, storms and strong winds.

Heavy rain and blizzard conditions to stick around for the weekend in several states

Severe weather warnings are in place for several states this weekend with heavy downpours, intense wind gusts and blizzard conditions. A large rain band moving across Australia brought soggy conditions across large parts of the country, stretching from much of central Queensland to Tasmania and over to coastal areas of South Australia. Queensland copped an "unseasonable" amount of rain including in the central highlands, where 45 millimetres was recorded in the 24 hours to Saturday morning, Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Angus Hines said. South Australia received a much-needed soaking after 18 months of below-average rainfall, with the Mount Lofty Ranges recording 40mm-60mm. "The rain that they've seen in the past 24 hours has been really bucking the trend of recent months," Hines told AAP. It brought blizzard conditions to popular alpine areas in NSW and Victoria, sparking alerts for travellers hitting the road. The state's dry west also received a drenching, with the Grampians recording falls of about 60mm. The bureau also warned of blizzard conditions in NSW alpine areas with peak gusts up to 100km/h in the Snowy Mountains on Saturday, including the lower resort slopes at Perisher and Thredbo. The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service recommended back country travel be postponed until conditions improve. Hines said winds in both states had the potential to bring down trees, damage properties and cause power outages. Some 42mm fell in just four hours on Saturday morning at Gray in Tasmania's northeast after a similar amount fell in the previous 24 hours. Emergency services are keeping an eye on rising rivers. "Reduced visibility in heavy rain, with possible water over roads will make road conditions dangerous," the bureau said. Queensland and Tasmania were expected to cop the most rain late on Saturday before conditions ease on Sunday. "It's going to stay quite wintry because it will be chilly, cold temperatures, quite gusty winds, sort of showers, possibly some hail in there as well," Hines said. The next burst of national soggy weather is already forming across West Australia and will hit Perth from about noon on Sunday.

Lightning halts women's rugby Test as ‘humdinger' winter storm lashes Brisbane

A large rain band moving across Australia brought soggy conditions across large parts of the country, stretching from much of central Queensland to Tasmania and over to coastal areas of South Australia. The stormy weather in Brisbane even led to lightning causing play to be suspended in a women's rugby Test between the Wallaroos and Wales, which the tourists eventually went on to win 21-12. The sunshine state copped an 'unseasonable' amount of rain including in the central highlands, where 45 millimetres was recorded in the 24 hours to Saturday morning, Bureau of Meteorology Senior meteorologist Angus Hines said. 'Through the remainder of the day today, we'll see this band of rain move eastwards across Queensland, southeastwards across New South Wales and Tasmania,' he said. 'The rain band will linger across parts of Queensland. 'It's a wet night in Brisbane tonight and actually wet really up to around about Mackay maybe.' Meanwhile, lightning forced a suspension of about 35 minutes in the women's rugby Test between Australia and Wales at Ballymore in Brisbane. The game was halted in the 12th minute with Australia leading 7-0.
