" MONDAY -- Storm "Brendan" will bring very strong winds and a fast-moving frontal system with some squally rain showers, possibly a brief thunderstorm, hitting the west coast around mid-day to early afternoon and moving across the country during the afternoon. Southerly gale force winds will develop ahead of this front and southwest winds of 70 to 120 km/hr are likely for a time during and after its passage. An interval of stronger storm force winds is likely in parts of the west and north towards late afternoon and early evening but these are not likely to extend into most other regions. High seas, battering waves and the risk of coastal inundations at high tides will be results of this powerful storm around the west coast, parts of the south coast, and to some extent even on the east coast by afternoon. Rainfalls of 10-20 mm are expected with potential for locally heavy amounts and spot flooding. High temperatures of about 8 to 10 C will occur later in the day, but at higher elevations in the north it may be quite a raw and cold day with some potential for sleety showers in the earlier portion of the event.
