Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth weather: How cold it will get in your city
It follows a freezing end to the weekend in Sydney, with Penrith recording its coldest morning in four years on Sunday as temperatures dipped to -0.3C.
Camden and Campbelltown recorded lows of -2.1C and -0.5C respectively. Further east, residents at Sydney Olympic Park woke to just 2.8C – the coldest morning there in two years.
'We've had the high-pressure systems come over some still air... and it was just able to settle cold temperatures that are continuing,' the Bureau of Meteorology's Morgan Pumpa explained.
'Wednesday through to even possibly Sunday or Monday does look very cold.'
According to Weatherzone, two major cold fronts and their associated low-pressure systems will move west to east across the country this week.
The first cold front arrived on Monday morning, bringing a cold, wet and windy start to the week in Western Australia.
Perth could struggle to reach 15C on Monday, which would make it the city's coldest day so far this year.
This front will push into South Australia on Monday before sweeping across southeastern Australia on Tuesday.
Blustery winds, rain and cold air will follow across the southern half of the country from Monday to Wednesday, Weatherzone said.
Damaging wind warnings are already in place for parts of SA and Victoria, with potential warnings for NSW and Tasmania in the coming days.
This front will also interact with a low-pressure trough over eastern Australia, generating widespread rain and thunderstorms across NSW and Queensland on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The second cold front is due to reach southwestern WA on Wednesday, then move across SA and central Australia on Friday, before hitting southeastern and eastern Australia over the weekend.
It's expected to form a large low-pressure system that will pull in tropical moisture, potentially creating a vast northwest cloudband.
'This setup has the potential to generate a massive northwest cloudband that will soak part of every state and territory in the second half of this week.'
In addition to widespread rain, the second front may bring more damaging winds to southern parts of the country and snow to the Alps – with even a chance of snow flurries in southern WA on Thursday.
'The combined influence of this week's cold fronts and low pressure systems will deliver a decent amount of rain to part of every state and territory in Australia between now and the weekend.
'Due to the eastward movement of these weather systems, the bulk of this rain will fall on and west of the Great Dividing Range.
'This means that the Murray-Darling Basin and many thirsty agricultural areas of SA, Tas, Vic and WA will also see a good drop of rain in the next seven days.'

Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane weather: Chilly start to the weekend for millions of Aussies as mega rain band strikes
Millions of Australians have shivered through a wet and cold start to the weekend as a monster 3000km rain band closes in on the southeast. The rain will strike Newcastle, Taree and Port Macquarie on the NSW Mid North Coast before the system heads north to Brisbane in the afternoon. The Bureau of Meteorology's Angus Hines said the heaviest falls would hit parts of Queensland and parts of eastern and northern Tasmania, which could trigger some minor to moderate riverine flooding. 'The main thing with the weather event that we're seeing at the moment is perhaps not how much rain each place is getting, it's how extensive the rain has been and will continue to be across the country,' he told Weekend Today. 'It's just this huge band of wet weather which started off in Western Australia a couple of days ago, then yesterday and overnight it swept through South Australia. 'Today it's going to be across the eastern states and it's really stretching all the way from north Queensland down to the far south of Tasmania. 'So for most areas they're getting a little bit of rain, but not too many spots are getting us worried about major heavy rainfall or flooding or anything like that. 'So for a lot of places where it has actually been quite dry, this rain is more welcome than worrying.' Perth Saturday: Sunny. Min 3C. Max 16C. Sunday: Showers. Min 6C. Max 14C.

Rain band to soak 80 percent of Australia this weekend
The five-day deluge will see the brunt of the rain fall over parts of southern and eastern Australia, with some areas expected to cop up to 60mm. The downpour, delivered by one of the largest rain bands in years, has been caused by a low-pressure system colliding with a stream of tropical moisture.

Tornado strikes Australia's exclusive suburb
Multi-million dollar houses and flashy cars have been destroyed after a freak tornado left a trail of destruction in one of Perth's most affluent suburbs. Incredible footage showed the wild weather hit City Beach just after 5pm on Wednesday with prime real estate in the coastal suburb bearing the brunt of the force. A huge waterspout was seen forming over the ocean near the City Beach oval before the tornado tore through the city ripping off roofs and downing trees. City Beach resident Tilly told ABC Radio Perth she felt like the house 'was about to fly away' as she watched the havoc unfold outside while sitting in her dining room. 'I literally just looked up through the window and saw a tornado,' she said. 'There was like a column of swirling wind, there was things flying in the air, bits of roof flying, tree branches, rubbish and it was all quite high up in the air, above the tree line. When I saw the bits of roof flying, I was worried it was going to come through the window, so I actually ducked under the table at one stage.' The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) received more than 100 calls for help. A Bureau of Meteorology spokeswoman said its initial assessment of footage and radar observations indicate the wild weather was likely a tornado. 'Australia experiences 30 to 80 tornadoes each year, but it is possible that many more tornadoes occur in remote, unpopulated parts of Australia and therefore go unreported,' she said. 'During the cool season, there is an average of around five tornadoes reported in southwest Western Australia.' The Bureau said predicting tornadoes is difficult and specific warnings are only issued if signs consistent with tornadoes occurring are visible on radars or direct observations are received. In 2016, at least 7 tornadoes affected South Australia, leading to a state-wide power outage.
