Melbourne endures spring cold snap not seen for nearly 20 years
Ben Domensino, Friday September 25, 2020 - 17:48 AEST
Melbourne hasn't even reached 12 degrees so far today, a feat that hasn't happened this late in spring for nearly two decades.
A polar air mass passing over Victoria combined with clouds and showers to suppress the temperature in Melbourne on Friday. As of 6pm, the city's running maximum temperature was only 11.9 degrees. If this temperature isn't surpassed by 9am on Saturday, this will officailly be Melbourne's coldest September day since 2004 and its coldest this late in spring since 2002.

The cold front also caused snow to reach low levels in Victoria on Friday, with reports of flakes falling to around 300 metres above sea level in some parts of the state. Some of Victoria's ski resorts also picked up more than 20cm of fresh snow from Friday's pulse of polar air.

A very wet weekend for southeast Qld, northeast NSW
11:48 AEST A prolonged rainfall event is set to bring large totals to parts of NSW and Qld from Saturday, with possible heavy falls and flooding. A low-pressure system in the Coral Sea, a deepening coastal trough and persistent easterlies will bring moisture-laden air into southeast Qld and northeast NSW will bring days of rainfall to the region. While there is not a drop of rain on the radar over southeast Qld and Northeast NSW on Friday morning, the mass of cloud associated with a low in the Coral Sea will enhance rainfall over the weekend.
