Australian Forecast – Fronts, Freshies & Cold Changes Ahead
Published early Friday, 19th September 2025
After some rough weather earlier in the week, we had an absolute corker on Thursday, with sunny skies, a frosty start and a warm afternoon – proper spring conditions.
It’ll turn a little wet and windy again today, Friday, before the next front brings a cold change overnight Friday, followed by a little fresh snow on Saturday. Snow showers on Sunday turn wet down low again as temperatures climb ahead of another cold change and a little more fresh snow on Monday. High pressure pushing in from the west will bring nicer conditions Tuesday.
Friday 19th September
A front spreads a few showers eastwards throughout the morning while northwest winds strengthen, reaching gale force in exposed areas. Heavier rain develops late afternoon/evening with possible thunderstorms before a strong, cold westerly change brings snow showers overnight.
Saturday 20th September
Snow showers falling to low levels gradually ease throughout the day before clearing entirely in the evening, leaving up to around 5cm of freshies. Strong, cold westerly winds also gradually abate.
Sunday 21st September
Snow showers spread over the Aussie Alps again during the morning, but they’ll eventually turn wet at low and mid elevations as snow levels gradually climb throughout the day. West-to-northwest winds.
Monday 22nd September
An early, cold southwest change brings snow showers throughout the day, leaving a few centimetres of fresh snow.
Tuesday 23rd September
Clouds gradually clear as south-to-southwest winds ease and a ridge of high pressure approaches.
Extended Forecast
High pressure nearby will likely keep a lid on things through to the end of the month, but a few cold fronts may manage to scrape in during the latter half of next week, with showers of rain and snow and strong wind at times.
That’s all from me today, folks. I’m sending out these forecasts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the season. Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you back here on Monday.
