Cold start to working week for NSW
Craig McIntosh, Sunday May 7, 2017 - 12:54 AEST
The pleasant autumn weather that most of NSW has experienced this weekend will quickly be forgotten when people get out of bed on Monday morning.
Excluding the southeast of the state that has felt the frigid blast from a strong cold front this weekend, NSW has been mostly sunny and generally warm. Sydney was almost 7 degrees warmer than average on Saturday, with temperatures hitting the high twenties in the Upper Western. The cold front that kicked the heat out of the southeast is gradually spreading over the state like a wave of crisp air.
A high pressure system following the front is keeping the skies clear enough for the cold air to settle close to the surface tonight. Eastern parts of Sydney should dip to around 10 degrees early Monday morning, while people in western parts of the city are likely to wake up to a brisk 5 degrees, their coldest morning since September.
Over the ranges, it will literally be a frosty start to the day in the Central Tablelands. Orange is forecast to plummet to -3 degrees overnight, an 8 degree difference from this morning. The majority of cities and towns west of the divide are expected to be in the single figures tomorrow morning under the very broad high pressure system.
The winner, as expected, will be the Snowy Mountains, where minimum temperatures are forecast to fall to around -5 degrees. No snow is accompanying the cold weather, but it helps freeze the ground in preparation for the upcoming ski season.
Most of NSW will gradually warm during the week, however it will only be by a couple of degrees. Check out the NSW forecast at http://www.weatherzone.com.au/nsw
