A majority of states will experience heavy rain as a weather system crosses the country.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, the next seven days will see most of the nation drenched as a series of high-pressure systems and cold fronts travel across the country. The first to experience the wet weather will be Western Australia, with thunderstorms and showers predicted for several areas today and tomorrow. Inland areas of Kimberley and Pilbara may even see heavy rainfall, while the southern coastal districts can expect lighter showers.

The wet weather will continue on Sunday, spreading to the Kimberley, Pilbara, Interior, and Gascoyne regions, as well as the northern parts of the Central West and northern Goldfields. The Northern Territory will also be affected, with some areas that typically receive 20 to 50mm of rain expecting up to 50 to 100mm from Sunday onwards. As the system moves southeast, it will reach the east coast on Tuesday, bringing rain to NSW and Victoria until Friday. This weather pattern is expected to last for about a week to ten days.

Unfortunately, parts of NSW will also experience some showers over the weekend as a result of cold fronts and troughs. The south ranges and western slopes can expect scattered showers today, while the far southern inland regions and far northeast of the state may see some rain as well. On Sunday, these areas can expect more rain and even some snow in the Alpine peaks above 1500 metres.

The rest of the state, however, will see some sunshine before the wet weather arrives. In Victoria, a high-pressure system will move in from the west and gradually cover most of the state by Monday. It will also impact parts of South Australia, causing windy conditions in the southern regions and isolated thunderstorms in the northern parts of the North West Pastoral district. As the system moves south on Sunday, it will bring showers to the far northwest and gradually spread rain across the state until Friday.

Meanwhile, Queensland is not expected to be affected by the high-pressure system, but a trough will bring isolated showers to the east of the state, including the Cape York Peninsula, over the weekend. There is also a possibility of thunderstorms and showers in the area later today.
