The unusual weather system, which is drawing in freezing winds from Antarctica, is considered unpredictable and is forecast to cross the mainland on Monday and continue until Thursday. Adelaide and Melbourne will be first to cop the cold blast with daytime temperatures not expected to rise above 13 on Tuesday. Thunderstorms are predicted across south eastern Australia as part of a wild weather system that includes icy winds literally drawn to mainland Australia from Antarctica. 'We are confident this will be a significant weather event with heavy rain, small hail damaging winds and snow to low levels.' The Northern Territory will continue to see sunny, dry weather with temperatures in the low 30s, with humidity dropping on Wednesday.
