Saturday 14th of September 12.18p.m. Sunny and breezy. 13/14.8kph ENE, Hg 48%, 18.7C / 65.7F top of 24C / 75F. Late shower or two. Too late, I hosed already Marine wind warning. Hazardous surf. Coastal hazard. Sheep graziers alert. Severe weather warning.

DAMAGING WINDS, averaging 60 to 70 km/h with peak gusts of around 90 to 100 km/h are likely along coastal parts of the South Coast and the Illawarra Sunday morning, extending to coastal parts of Sydney around midday, and Hunter and southern parts of the Mid North Coast in the afternoon, especially with approaching showers and thunderstorms.

Moon is 78.7%

Spring's infamous variability will be on full display this weekend, delivering a blast of cold Antarctic air and potentially the coldest September weather in decades.

The frigid air already reached Tasmania overnight, dropping snow to near sea level around Hobart, and will sweep across Victoria today, then surge up the New South Wales coast and ranges overnight.

A second wave of cold air should then arrive midweek, and possibly a third next weekend, bringing additional bursts of snow and well below average temperatures.

A weekend to rug up for south-east capitals​

Summer may be on the horizon, but this weekend people in south-east Australia are best advised to retreat by a wintry fire.

The sudden cold snap is due to the arrival of a powerful front from the south, which will introduce a polar air mass from the Antarctic ice sheet.

The coldest air will drift over Tasmania and southern Victoria today, sending temperatures as much as 10 degrees below average.

Hobart is forecast to struggle to a high of just 11C, although some modelling has the city remaining below 9C — three below their mid-winter average and potentially the coldest spring day this century.

Melbourne will spend Saturday rugged up through a high of only around 11C or 12C, a 20-year low for spring if it stays below 11.7C.

The southerlies will also bring showers, small hail and the odd thunderstorm to southern Victoria and Tasmania through Saturday. And while severe storms are unlikely, large amounts of hail could accumulate on the ground.

Sunday will remain icy across Tasmania and Victoria, and the cold air will also surge up the NSW coast, dropping Sydney's high to 17C – the coldest weather in a month.

Fresh southerly winds will also bring a substantial wind chill this weekend, with most regions feeling at least a few degrees cooler than the ambient air temperature.

Snow to near sea level could turn Hobart's suburbs white​

While our coastal capitals shiver, the ranges will be literally freezing, allowing for the most widespread snowfalls so far this year in some regions.

Tasmania will see consistent snowfalls through Saturday to an elevation of between 200 and 400 metres, with at least 10cm likely to accumulate across the southern and western highlands.

The low-level snow will impact large sections of the state, prompting the Bureau of Meteorology to issue warnings for road users in all districts apart from the north.
