WEATHER UPDATE: OCTOBER SNOW ON THE TABLELANDS
Today Thursday the 11th we saw a large NW cloud band produce widespread rain across the broadcast area after an early morning cluster of storms rolled across Casino, Grafton and Coffs.
Afternoon storms developed over SE QLD a well. While all this has been happening a powerful surge of cold, polar air, pulsed in across Adelaide and SA travelling incredibly fast. Tonight that cold air will make its way across the Northern Tablelands dropping temperatures turning rain to snow above 800m. Place such as Guyra and Armidale should wake up to a blanket of white. Snow is alos likely on the Barringtons to 1000m.
An intense east coast low is then going to form and this will make for a very windy Friday, especially to the south across the Cental Coast and Hunter.
Gale and strong wind warnings have been issued. The strong cold SW winds will run along the Tablelands creating a headache for sheep graziers, alerts have also been issued for farmers.
The low will move away from the coast jsut as quick generating a huge swell on Saturday.
