Australian Weather

A strong high pressure system sitting over eastern Australia is set deliver sunny skies across VIC, SA, the NT, inland NSW, plus most of WA and QLD this weekend. A warm northerly airstream will be directed across WA by the high, causing daytime temperatures to rise up to 8 degrees above average. Katanning, Lake Grace and Leonora are forecasted to receive maximum temperatures of up to 7 above average on Saturday. Clear overnight skies will allow minimum temperatures to drop well below average across the region. The clear overnight skies will also allow for great snow making across the Alpine resorts. The most extreme minimums will be experienced around the upper NT and northeast QLD with the mercury set to drop up to 6 degrees below average at Katherine and Victoria River Downs on Saturday morning.
