The Bureau of Meteorology predicts a storm system for Sydney tomorrow, accompanied by continuous rain until next Monday. This follows a weekend of heavy rainfall across the eastern seaboard, with some areas recording 100mm of precipitation. While the weekend's rain was caused by troughs associated with low-pressure systems, the upcoming storms will be influenced by steering winds at high altitudes. These winds are expected to increase in strength this week, leading to more intense storms as a new trough moves through the region. Weatherzone forecasts the most dangerous period for storms to be between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, affecting Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra.
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a potential storm for Sydney tomorrow, followed by showers of rain all through to next Monday. It follows a weekend of intense rain across parts of the eastern seaboard, including falls of 100mm on the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads, and parts of Tasmania. That while the weekend's rain was driven by troughs linked to low pressure systems across the south-east, the upcoming storms will also be influenced by steering winds.
'Steering winds are winds at an elevation of about 3000 metres which direct the movement of weather systems,' Weatherzone's Anthony Sharwood wrote.'As steering winds from the west pick up at mid-levels of the atmosphere this week, the extra energy and wind shear will likely make storms more severe as the next trough moves through.' Weatherzone predicted Wednesday afternoon through to Thursday morning as the most dangerous storm period, including for Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra.
