WEATHER UPDATE: CHILLY WEEKEND

A slow moving, deep low is now spiralling over the Tasman producing a solid swell which will build overnight moving up the coast on Saturday. Combined with the cold, westerly winds will make for an epic weekend of waves up and down the coast for surf lovers.

Inland morning frosts will become a feature across the weekend.

There is a significant inland rain event brewing, we’ll check that first thing next week.

WEATHER UPDATE: EARLY START TO WINTER

A slow moving, deep low has been spiralling around in Bass Straight producing a good start to the up and coming ski season by deliver a good bass layer of snow.

The low is headed for the Tasman and as it moves east the winds will shift from the NW to the SW and become even colder. The air mass is dry so low humidity levels are expected.

Along the coast the SW winds will remain quite strong and a large swell will be generated for the weekend and the southern point breaks will be cranking with some epic waves.

West of the Divide the high will move in over head and this will make for some extremely cold nights so frosts possibly severe are likely for the NW along the Ranges and Upper Hunter.

Looking into the future more systems, similar to this are expected. So it seems Winter has settled in early.
