Authorities are once again reminding Tasmanians to remain vigilant as high fire danger ratings are forecast for much of Tasmania today and tomorrow.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Monday is expected to be mostly sunny with patches of morning fog and light showers in the west, accompanied by a hot day inland.
On Tuesday, showers and isolated thunderstorms are predicted for the northeast, with showers spreading statewide later in the day and the possibility of afternoon thunderstorms in the southeast.
High fire danger is anticipated in the Central North, North East, Central Plateau, Midlands, East Coast and Upper Derwent Valley regions.
