Australia: Heavy rain Brisbane to Port Macquarie, also across WA

An area of weak low pressure off the coast of Brisbane Qld and Grafton NSW is driving in some heavy coastal rain. High pressure exits Australia for NZ this weekend bringing a westerly wind back to Tassie and a burst of showers and patchy rain next week for a time in the south-east - but low rainfall totals for most parts of Qld, NSW, ACT, Vic, Tas and SA. However WA may see some widespread heavier rain and downpours over the coming week - we break it all down for you. Programming Notes: - We are away Monday and Tuesday next week - Our next NZ Australia only video is Thursday October 3rd - Out October New Zealand ClimateWatch update will be on Wednesday afternoon (October 2nd - and while it is NZ focused it does show some bigger picture information for Australia too.
