Australians can expect a warm and mostly settled Wednesday across much of the country, ahead of a significant cool change set to hit the south-east later in the day.<\/p>\n
Sky News Weahter Meteorologist Marina Neuman said Sydney would see sunny conditions and a top of 28 degrees, while Brisbane should remain partly sunny with a high of 30.<\/p>\n
Melbourne is forecast to reach 27 degrees with thunderstorms developing, while Canberra will also hit a top of 27.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Hobart is expecting rain and Adelaide may see light showers.<\/p>\n
While most capital cities should see a warm start to the day, Neuman explained conditions were set to shift during the afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat cool air pushing out of the Tasman…(is) bringing in a major cool change,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The change will sweep across Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and into New South Wales by the end of Wednesday, bringing a sharp drop in temperatures.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwenty one in Adelaide, 18 in Melbourne and 16 in Hobart for our Thursday afternoon – just a major drop in 24 hours,\u201d Neuman said.<\/p>\n
The cool air is already driving severe weather across parts of Victoria and Tasmania, with thunderstorms, strong winds and heavy rainfall developing.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome strong storms and even some heavy rainfall now moving\u2026 including hail,\u201d Neuman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cChance for some thunderstorms picking up and also some potentially heavy rainfall in the mix\u2026 potential to see at least 50 millimetres across the centre of Victoria.<\/p>\n
“Potential to see even heavier totals across Batemans Bay, just at that very corner of New South Wales, and Tasmania looking to see a decent soaking as well. Adelaide at least a sprinkle.”<\/p>\n
Snow flurries are also possible across the Victorian and NSW alpine regions as colder air pushes through.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, conditions in Western Australia should remain warm and dry on Wednesday, with Perth reaching a top of 32 degrees, before ex-Tropical Cyclone Narelle tracks towards the coast later in the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australians can expect a warm and mostly settled Wednesday across much of the country, ahead of a significant…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":561711,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,6884,6169,124266,44,1192],"class_list":["post-561710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bureau-of-meteorology","tag-forecast","tag-meteorology","tag-news","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
