Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane weather: Cold weather warning issued

A strong cold front is moving across the country, ensuring that temperatures remain low throughout the weekend.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, a cold front is moving across South Australia, bringing with it a number of showers and thunderstorms, mainly along coastal areas.

The system will spread across Victoria and New South Wales this weekend, but its intensity will not be as great as previous cold fronts and it will not penetrate far inland.

Winds blowing across the south-east of the country, particularly the central coast of New South Wales, are expected to ease from Thursday afternoon.

“A low pressure area over the Tasman Sea is causing these strong winds along the New South Wales coast and gusty winds in south-east Queensland,” Weatherzone meteorologist Yoska Hernández told Daily Mail Australia.

‘Today, gusts around Sydney will ease in the afternoon and decrease further to light winds tomorrow.’

Large areas from central Queensland to southern Victoria will experience frost on Friday morning, as will southern Western Australia.
