A range of weather systems are currently impacting across Australia, with Tropical Cyclone Owen in Far North Queensland strengthening in intensity as it moves towards the southeast Gulf of Carpentaria coast and expected to make landfall tonight or during Saturday morning.
Over the next few days, a low pressure system across the eastern and south-eastern coast of Australia will bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, strong winds and potential flooding.
