that the cold snap could see snow falling at 600m above sea level for Tasmania, and 800-900m for Victoria - low elevation for this time of year.People will also need to huddle up against the chill in our southern states.
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a top of 14 degrees for Melbourne, 15 for Adelaide, and just 12 for Hobart.Meanwhile, hot, dry winds are expected across New South Wales and Queensland today, increasing the fire danger ratings. A later southerly change is expected to increase bushfire problems, Weatherzone said, pushing existing blazes in new directions and widening fire fronts.
"Fortunately, an injection of moisture-laden air in the wake of the front will cause rain to develop over parts of eastern and north-east NSW and south-east Queensland from Thursday into Friday," Weatherzone wrote."This rain should help extinguish some of the fires in the region and add some much-needed water into the parched landscape."
However, just to keep things interesting, this rain also has the potential to be accompanied by thunderstorms, Weatherzone warned.
