Meteorologist Angus Hines from the Bureau of Meteorology said in some areas, this will be the first really cold mornings of the year.
“The combination of high pressure across the south and the south-east, as well as clear skies and not much wind, is going to lead to some very chilly temperatures through the next couple of mornings.”
Canberra is also set to dip below freezing early Sunday morning, possibly reaching -1 degrees.
The cold will spread into the Northern Tablelands hitting Guyra and Glen Innes by Monday.
Hines said as well as the cool change, the south-east could expect clear days.
