Mostly fine conditions expected country wide

Mostly fine conditions are likely across large portions of the country this week.

A low pressure system and a series of cold fronts moved across southern Australia late last week and across the weekend bringing snow, heavy rainfall for Tasmania, damaging winds and thunderstorms with small hail.

Behind this low, a large area of high pressure has moved into the region bring more settled conditions. Over the next few days, this high is likely to dominate the pattern across Australia, maintaining mostly fine conditions.

While an upper trough is likely to drift over Victoria and New South Wales mid-week, only weak instability will be present allowing for a few showers with small hail to develop. A few coastal showers are also possible across the southern QLD and northern NSW coastline as onshore winds develop across the region.

During the next several days, calmer conditions are likely to lead to widespread frosts across central and eastern Australia as minimum temperatures drop close to and below zero in some locations. This spells further bad news for drought stricken regions, with further follow up rainfall needed that fell during late June.
