A cold front will slam into the country's south-east tomorrow bringing cool, wet and wintery weather to a number of states.
The front will hit South Australia "late Friday" and when it does it will bring the risk of storms, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) said.
The weather system will become more widespread across Tasmania, Victoria and southern New South Wales on Saturday.

Bureau meteorologist Miriam Bradley said the front will bring gusty winds and heavy rain to the states.
"Winds will increase around this front, with the possibility of damaging wind gusts across elevated parts of Tasmania, Victoria and southern alpine NSW," she said.
"This system is also going to bring much cooler air in its wake, with temperatures dropping between 4 and 8C between Thursday and Saturday as that front moves through."
More than 50mm of rain could fall within 24 hours in some areas of NSW.
This has the potential to lead to flash flooding, Weatherzone warns.

"This weekend's rain has the potential to cause localised areas of flooding and road closures, particularly in areas that have already seen heavy falls during the past few days," the weather service said.
"Be sure to keep an eye on the latest forecasts and warnings across NSW during the next few days, particularly west of the ranges."
A separate system sitting off the north-west Queensland coast has been responsible for heavy falls seen across Queensland over the past few days.
