Down and up in the south

Ben Domensino, Wednesday October 19, 2016 - 16:38 AEDT

Adelaide is riding the spring temperature see-saw this week.

The city's minimum temperature this morning was 4.9 degrees, seven below average and the equal coldest October morning in 11 years.

The mercury plummeted as clear skies and light winds allowed yesterday's heat to radiate away from the ground overnight.

While the chilly night was cause for an extra blanket, things will be feeling very different tomorrow.

Adelaide is forecast to reach close to 30 degrees on Thursday afternoon, about 25 degrees warmer than it was this morning. If it reaches 29 degrees it will be the warmest day in six months.

A front front will drop the temperature once again on Thursday evening, although it wonâ??t be as cold as light night. Friday morning is tipped to reach a minimum of seven degrees before climbing to the mid-teens on Friday afternoon.

A very wet weekend for southeast Qld, northeast NSW

11:48 AEST A prolonged rainfall event is set to bring large totals to parts of NSW and Qld from Saturday, with possible heavy falls and flooding. A low-pressure system in the Coral Sea, a deepening coastal trough and persistent easterlies will bring moisture-laden air into southeast Qld and northeast NSW will bring days of rainfall to the region. While there is not a drop of rain on the radar over southeast Qld and Northeast NSW on Friday morning, the mass of cloud associated with a low in the Coral Sea will enhance rainfall over the weekend.
