With a forecast that includes further showers and colder conditions experts are warning people to take care on the roads and avoid walking or driving through flooded areas.

Livestock graziers are happy for the most part. (See next week’s Glen Innes Examiner for news on how the recent rain is impacting local farmers).

Weather conditions continued as cloudy for most of Wednesday with moderate to heavy rain developing and thunderstorms in some parts. The

Bureau of Meteorology predicts Thursday and Friday to also be partly cloudy, with isolated showers on and east of the ranges in the morning and afternoon.

Winds will be south to southeasterly at 25 to 40 km per hour, overnight temperatures falling to between three and 10 degrees with daytime temperatures reaching between 11 and 20.

Winds southeasterly 25 to 35 km/h turning southerly 20 to 30 km per hour in the evening, and daytime maximum temperatures between eight and 14 will ensure winter will not be forgotten as spring nudges closer.

Temperatures could reach down to one degree in some parts bringing that winter crispness out in full force.

Sunshine might be in with chance come Saturday, but with the threat of an east coast low still lurking, it’s probably best to not hold the breath.
