Showers behind the heat in the southeast
Sam Brown, Saturday November 28, 2020 - 13:08 EDTWhile significant heat is affecting central and southeastern parts of the country, showers are likely to fall on the other side of the low pressure trough drawing in the heat.
The system should generate some decent rain totals over the weekend, with some areas potentially receiving more than 25 mm. The heaviest falls are expected across the far southeast of South Australia, coastal Victoria and the Furneaux group of Islands in Bass Strait. However, light falls may be felt across inland areas of South Australia, Victoria and southeastern parts of New South Wales.
