Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane weather: Urgent warning issued
Much of Australia's coast is in for a wet weekend that could develop into a 'powerful' weather system that will bring damaging winds and flooding to some areas. Rain has already set in for much of NSW, southern Queensland and part of Victoria. Up to 100mm of rain will soak some regions by Sunday, when a low pressure system will hit the NSW coast between Sydney and Port Macquarie. 'Intense rain and damaging winds will hit eastern NSW early next week, with flooding likely in some parts of the state,' Weatherzone's Ben Domensino said. Heavy rains, damaging winds and flash flooding could develop into early next week as temperatures plunge. 'The coastal low will be dragging the cold wind over the coast,' the Bureau of Meteorology's Edward Medlock said. He said the system would 'linger 'over the NSW coast for days. 'A big wad of cold air ends up sitting over the state, as that makes its approach to the coast and that low pressure starts developing over the ocean, it's going to become an extended period of prolonged rain.' He said there is an 'intensity aspect' related to the weather system. Bureau colleague Miriam Bradbury said the rain on Friday will be concentrated in south-east Queensland and pushing down into NSW. 'In Queensland is we are going to see a gradual easing trend through Saturday afternoon and Sunday in particular, with a much dryer end to the weekend. 'But is a different story for NSW where the wet weather is likely to continue into early next week with the new system on Sunday.' The Bureau said there could be widespread rainfall totals of 50 to 80mm over Monday. The Sydney, Hunter and Mid North Coastal regions are expected to bear the brunt of it. Gusty southerly winds will hit the coastal regions, he warned, as stronger winds buffer the ranges and by the end of next week much of NSW is expected to have been drenched.

Tropical Cyclone Errol likely to form off north coast of Western Australia this weekend
A cyclone is likely to form off the northern coast of Western Australia this weekend, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has warned, as south-east Australia prepares for unseasonably warm weather. The bureau on Saturday morning issued a warning that a tropical low in the Timor Sea north-west of Darwin was moving south-west and was expected to intensify into a cyclone later in the day. The weather system, currently identified as 'tropical low 29U', is forecast to track near the north of the Kimberley coast on Sunday, bringing with it damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall. Weatherzone meteorologist Ben Domensino said the system would likely become a cyclone on Saturday and strengthen on Sunday and early next week, fuelled by the warm waters off the coast of WA. He said it could possibly intensify into a category three severe tropical cyclone by Tuesday. But at this stage, Domensino said it was not expected to make landfall. 'The impending tropical cyclone is not likely to cross the coast and should stay to the north of WA between now and at least the middle of next week,' he said. 'However, it could still get close enough to the Kimberley coast to cause damaging winds, heavy rain and abnormally high tides this weekend and early next week.' The WA Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) has issued an advice warning for people living in a 450km stretch along the coast from Cockatoo Island to King George River to prepare for dangerous weather. 'Although there is no immediate danger you need to start preparing for dangerous weather and keep up to date,' the warning read. DFES urged people to secure boats, caravans, sheds and outdoor furniture, and to ensure emergency kits are stocked. Recommended items include enough 'canned food and water to last five to seven days', a first aid kit, medications, cash and a battery-operated radio with spare batteries to listen to warnings. Domensino said cyclones were difficult to predict when they were still tropical lows and in the early stages of tropical cyclone development. He said forecasts may change in the coming days as the system develops further and more accurate data becomes available. Should a cyclone form, it will be named Errol and it will be the eighth of the season in the Australian region – the highest number recorded in a single season in 19 years. Earlier this month, ex-Tropical Cyclone Dianne moved across the Northern Territory and into south-west and central Queensland, dumping a phenomenal amount of water on to outback towns. In March, ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred wrecked havoc on south-eastern Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales. Meanwhile, in the south-east of Australia, a hot weekend is forecast, with temperatures up to 12C above average expected in parts of Victoria and Melbourne to experience its warmest April days in four years. The bureau has forecast Melbourne will reach a maximum of 30C on Saturday and Sunday, while Sydney is forecast to reach a high of 26C on both days of the weekend. The unusually warm weather is due to a very large and slow-moving high-pressure system moving over south-eastern Australia and extending well into the Tasman Sea.
