The most significant cold front so far this year is blasting cold Antarctic air, showers and south-westerly winds across much of the southeast with temperatures are as much as 10 degrees colder than yesterday! Snowfall is expected to descend as low as 1000m for Victoria and 500m for Tasmania, a sure sign that Winter is not far away! Rhylla from Victoria's Mt Buller sent in this picture today, and if you have any weather photos make sure you upload them on our website http://www.weatherchannel.com.au/. Speaking of our new website, you can also see speckled cloud moving across the southeast on the satellite -this indicates very cold air. And if you want to know how long this cold spell will last, you can get a 10 day forecast for any postcode in the whole country!
While much of the southeast is shivering, the northern half of NSW is enjoying a beautiful sunny day thanks to warm north-westerly winds ahead of the change. Sydney is heading for 26 degrees today, a balmy 7 degrees above the long-term average. But get your woolies, uggies and scarfs ready as the cold front will hit Sydney tonight delivering cold weather for the rest of the week. Cold and dry south-westerlies are also moving into southern QLD dropping temperatures and bringing frost to the Granite Belt tomorrow.
A slow-moving high will edge towards the southeast tomorrow causing winds and showers to ease, but it will also lead to very cold nights and frosty mornings. By Thursday morning, severe frost will affect northeast Victoria and the NSW slopes and ranges. Even Sydney's western suburbs are a chance to get frost over the weekend with temperatures dipping down to 3 degrees.
