Max of only 6.5C today, luckily the forecast wind hasn't eventuated. Looks windier tomorrow and EC has the 850 temps ...

Re: Canberra/ACT: Day to Day Weather Talk

Has reached 42.9C in Canberra smashing the old record maximum of 42.2C. Strong NW winds making for scary fire weather.

Hoping no fires get going to the west of ACT.

Re: Canberra/ACT: Day to Day Weather Talk

Still a mild (relatively) 4C in Canberra this morning, though apparent temp is well below 0. Tomorrow morning looks like it may all come together, well according to EC with snow possible in Canberra.

Re: Canberra/ACT: Day to Day Weather Talk

Snow on the nearby hills of Canberra forecasted Fri and Sat.

Certainly looks cold enough, depends on moisture at the right time.

If GFS comes off could be snow about Sunday morning.

Re: Canberra/ACT: Day to Day Weather Talk

Looking very cold in Canberra from Thursday 8 August 2019 at least Sunday 11 August 2019.

The way the models are shaping up this it could be a significant snow event for Canberra and the ACT.

Re: Canberra/ACT: Day to Day Weather Talk

Showers starting to build to the west of the ACT, should be a wet and windy night. Still snow chance tomorrow morning, depends if there are any showers left when the coldest air is around (always an issue for snow in Canberra).

Re: Canberra/ACT: Day to Day Weather Talk

Wind starting to pick up in Gungahlin (northern suburb Canberra), expect it to get much stronger overnight and tomorrow. Severe weather warning for damaging winds current for Southern ACT and adjacent NSW, wouldn't be surprised if it is extended to other parts of the ACT. Snow touch and go for the ...

Re: Canberra/ACT: Day to Day Weather Talk

Chance of snow about the higher suburbs of Canberra Saturday morning if there is any precipitation around, 850 temps around -4 and 500mb temps of -31C. Will try and get to some higher spots to see if I can score some snow.

I should add it is looking very windy during this period.

Re: Canberra/ACT: Day to Day Weather Talk

Only about a mm in the end, disappointing, looking towards Weds onwards for the start of a series of fronts and a cold outbreak. Models thinking about 10mm, will be cold and breezy, a change from the mild mid teens of late.
