Coming out of one of the driest Winters on record, will this Spring bring any wet weather relief?

Today could be the warmest day across the southern states for five months with Melbourne and Hobart expected to top out at a way above average 26C.

But it’s just a lull of warm weather between all that incessant rain.

By tomorrow many of the southern capitals will see drizzle and downpours and clouds will close in above Sydney on Sunday.

The cool, wet change has already come to Adelaide.

“Temperatures in South Australia are close to 20 degrees colder than Thursday,” said Sky News Weather channel meteorologist Tom Saunders this morning.

Adelaide is forecast to get to just 17C today with up to 15mm of rain, and that’s likely to be the warmest it’ll be in the South Australian capital until next Wednesday with a potential further 10mm of rain on the weekend.

Warm and sunny in Melbourne today. The high of 26C is the balmiest for the city since April.

However, that cool change will shake things up when it comes through late tonight or early on Saturday. Temperatures tomorrow will reach 20C and then just 16C on Sunday with minimums dropping back into single figures.

Expect showers across the weekend.

Enjoy this burst of spring warmth as it's going to be short-lived—while it'll be dry for #AFLTigersCats tonight, a cold front will bring cooler conditions this weekend, with possible storms Saturday morning & showers forecast for #AFLPiesGiants in the arvo https://t.co/qrcyAoP8N2 pic.twitter.com/qFNiRFrPP8 — Bureau of Meteorology, Victoria (@BOM_Vic) September 20, 2019

Hobart will drop down to 21C tomorrow and then 15C on Sunday with lows of 6C. Some rain but less than the mainland.

“Saturday will still be warm over much of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory,” said Mr Saunders.

“But on Sunday, a cooler southerly will move up the NSW coastline dropping temperatures.”

A high of 23C on Sydney on Friday followed by 25C on a sunny Saturday will drop down to 22C on Sunday. Expect a shower or two towards the end of the weekend.

Canberra will be 21C and showery on Saturday with up to 10mm of rain. The mercury will drop further into the high teens on Sunday where it will then get stuck for days. Relatively warm overnight temperatures will drop down to minus figures by early next week.

Further north, Mr Saunders said the cold front was unlikely to have the strength to properly push into Queensland which is common going into spring.

Brisbane will see 26-27C for the next few days and then 30C early next week. There could be a possible shower on Saturday.

In Darwin, it will be dry with temperatures reaching 32C with lows of 22C.

A sunny Perth will get steadily warmer. From 18C today to 22C on Sunday and 28C on Tuesday of next week. You can leave the brolly at home.
