Many will be cold as polar winds move through states.

Get ready, Aussies! Mother Nature is about to unleash some serious weather on us next week. According to Weatherzone, a major polar outbreak is headed our way, bringing powerful winds and heavy rain to various parts of the country.

The source of this wild weather? A large mass of cold air from Antarctica that will be making its way across south-eastern Australia starting this weekend. And brace yourselves, because temperatures are going to drop significantly. In fact, there's even a chance of snow falling outside of the alpine regions, all the way from Tasmania to northern New South Wales.

But it's not just the cold temperatures we need to worry about. This air mass will also create a low pressure system over the Tasman Sea, which is expected to linger into the following week. This means we can also expect some strong winds, particularly in Tasmania, Victoria, and NSW. And we're not talking just any old breeze here – we're talking gale force winds with gusts reaching up to 90km/hr. That's enough to knock you off your feet!

These winds are predicted to hit Tasmania and eastern Victoria on Sunday and Monday, before making their way to NSW on Monday. And it's not just the winds we need to be wary of. With all this rain and strong wind, there's a real risk of trees falling over. As Weatherzone puts it, "The fierce winds that are predicted to hit southeastern Australia from this weekend have the potential to topple trees after a prolonged wet period has led to a soggy landscape."

But don't worry, the winds should start to die down by Tuesday as the low pressure system moves further east over the Tasman Sea. In the meantime, we can also expect heavy rain in Tasmania and Victoria from the weekend into early next week. And while the exact amounts are uncertain, both states should see anywhere from 30mm to 60mm of rain, with some areas possibly getting over 100mm.

But that's not all. This low pressure system could also bring some pretty gnarly waves and surf along the east coast. So if you were planning on hitting the beach, you might want to think twice. Offshore waves are expected to reach up to five metres near Tasmania and four metres off the coast of Victoria and southern NSW.
