Patchy rain extending northeastwards over the remainder, with rain areas and isolated thunderstorms in the west and southeast. North to northeast winds. Forecast for Thursday Widespread rain over most of the inland with moderate to heavy falls possible. Rain areas over much of the remainder, more patchy in the northeast. Northeast to northwest winds. Forecast for Friday Areas of rain, easing in the far west later. Moderate to heavy falls likely west of the Divide. Strengthening northerly winds ahead of a southwesterly change spreading through the west. Forecast for Saturday Areas of rain in the northeast, clearing. Scattered showers over the coast, ranges and western slopes contracting to the southeast during the day. Strong northwest winds ahead of a southwesterly change spreading through the remainder of the east.
