Australians are set for another cold weekend, with showers and damaging winds predicted. A cold front will bring rain and wind to the region, and an Antarctic air mass will bring damp and chilly conditions to many areas.
A northwest cloud band will also contribute to rain and thick cloud cover.
Temperatures are expected to stay below 12 degrees Celsius in Melbourne over the weekend.
Weather experts predict that rain will occur in the city on Saturday and Sunday, with wind speeds of up to 50 km/h.
Sydneysiders can expect a high of 20 degrees Celsius on Saturday. Fog is also possible in the morning.
On Sunday, temperatures are expected to fall slightly due to the possibility of showers in the morning, and light winds will start to emerge south to southwest during the day.
The weather system that will affect Queensland will also bring rain to the state on Sunday.
According to BOM Meteorologist Angus Hines, although there was a downpour across the state, it would not cause any significant issues.
In the northeast, between 40 to 80mm of rain is expected to fall in various areas in central and eastern Queensland, including the goldfields, highlands, and coalfields.
Some areas in the middle of the state, such as the Whitsundays, the Capricornia coast, and the lower vertical coast, could also receive showers.
In the southeast, between 5 and 10mm of rain is expected to fall in areas such as Brisbane.
He said a cold front was expected to hit Tasmania on Saturday morning. He said Hobart would likely experience wet weather.
According to the BOM, the state’s alpine regions will be affected by strong winds, showers, and snow as a result of a weather system that will affect the southeast.
He said that there would be a significant dump of snow in the mountains in Victoria and in elevated areas in Tasmania over the weekend.
The BOM stated that there would be around 15 to 30 centimeters of snow in these areas.
As the school holidays begin, strong winds are expected to affect resorts and the surrounding regions over the weekend.
In South Australia, the western facing regions of the state, including Mount Gambier, Adelaide, and the Peninsula, are expected to receive up to 20mm of rainfall.
Temperatures are expected to drop even further in Adelaide over the weekend due to the Antarctic air mass.
