A front will bring strong winds & showers to Tas, Vic's south & SA's south. A high will cause brisk winds to ease & for most showers & alpine snowfalls to clear in NSW & SA. The high will clear skies in much of the inland & east & west coasts, leading to a cold morning & dry day.

ISSUED THURSDAY 5:22PM UTC

A high will cause strong winds & showers to ease in SA, Tas, Vic & southern NSW. The high will keep much of the inland & east & west coasts dry & mostly clear, leading to a cold morning. Just isolated showers for the Qld & the Arnhem coasts due to winds turning more onshore.

ISSUED THURSDAY 5:21PM UTC
