The whole, all of Australia is under an area of low pressure.. Could be up to 3 TS 's in the north by friday.

THe wind map showing a troughy type outlook from this wednesday to Xmas day for VIC showing the best of the action on Boxing day ( Monday 4.00am )with a strong wind change and front line coming in from the west and moving quickly across VIC as a result of a small low that forms just off S/west VIC in the bass strait. on Xmas day.
However even on Xmas day.. it is showing Northerlies streaming down from the north in the morning from a high to the east in the tasman. bringin in mosture fro TS development in the tasman ( just below a TS/TC? off the Queensland coast.) and meeting an easterly stream from the tasman along the southern coast near Melbourne.
I don't think that scenario would be fine weather for the southern quadrant. ?
Looks troughy in the east and south of the state in the morning . By 4pm a low in the s/west and trough in the east of state
So low pressure einfluence from a low in the western quadrant and a trough in the eastern quadrant
The northerlies ramping up on Xmas morning ahead of a change that is IN SA on XMAS morning. The wind map SA coast ( Adelaide has the action on Xmas morning, potentially getting smashed)) Double low complex on the coast. A low forming just south of the Yorke peninsula.
A very complex and potentially turbulent flow of wind fro Adelaide on Xmas morning. Wonder what Storm cast thinks about Adelaide?
Still 6 day out. I suppose there is hope the high coming from the west may arrive early? Wishful thinking atm.
Because of the 3 significant areas of low pressure cell TC/TS..developing this week.in the north of OZ and their unpredictability. could upset current prognosis?
Personally. I am just astonished at the intensity of the area of low pressure influence over much of Australia that we will be exposed to in the coming week or longer.
Going to be an interesting week.. Any Tropical infeeds from the northern parts of OZ might become a concern..
What are the forecast rainfall totals for this period. Wondering if this could get nasty? Storms /rain?
Infeeds from tasman and n/west WA where there is significant TS development. Moisture potential could be very high
Looking awfully wet somewhere?
