Wet weather to hit southeast Queensland and New South Wales on Monday with cold weather to return in Melbourne
Residents in New South Wales will see rain on Monday whilst Brisbane is expected to cop a drenching on Tuesday.
Within that rain band, some gauges may see totals between 100-110mm, but it is unclear where it is expected to hit.
This weekend, it is expected to be a cold one in Melbourne and Hobart as a cold front sweeps across the southeast of the country, but Perth will be spared the worse of the weather on Saturday breaking a six-week streak of wet weather.
Across the weekend, conditions across the capital cities are expected to be mostly settled ahead of a change in the weather next week.
On Saturday, Darwin will be mostly overcast with tops of 33C, Brisbane will be sunny with tops of 24C whilst Sydney will have a mostly cloudy start to the day with tops of 18C.
Residents in Canberra will wake to a cold start before mostly cloudy skies, with a top of 12 degrees, whilst Melbourne and Hobart will shiver through a cold front with tops of 12.
Adelaide will be warm with tops of 14 whilst Perth will be sunny with tops of 20.
The sunny weather on Saturday breaks a six week weekend of wet weather for the western Australian capital which saw a 30 year record broken for the wettest winter in the Perth area.
But on Sunday, conditions are expected to change as a rain band begins to cross the eastern states, with temperatures falling in Sydney to 17 and a frosty and cold start to the day in Canberra with lows of -4 and highs of 13.
Conditions will also be cool in Hobart, Melbourne and Adelaide with a top of 12 in the Victorian and Tasmanian capitals whilst a mostly cloudy but warm day will greet residents in Perth.
Brisbane and Darwin will be sunny.
Sky News Weather Meteorologist Rob Sharpe said that the rain gauges across the eastern states were expected to be high, but could not pinpoint where the totals were expected to surpass 100mm.
'Somewhere between the Sunshine Coast and Illawarra will almost certainly exceed 100mm next week with even a chance of somewhere notching up more than 150mm," Sharpe said.
The Bureau of Meteorology has not issued any weather warnings for the two states and the SES has not issued any flood warnings, but it is expected that warnings could be issued if rivers are likely to peak.
However, the BoM has issued a marine wind warning for the Hunter Coast, Sydney Coast, Illawarra Coast, Batemans Coast and Eden Coast for Saturday.

Homes shake across south-east Queensland as magnitude 5.6 earthquake strikes near Kilkivan
A magnitude 5.6 earthquake has struck near Kilkivan in regional Queensland, sending tremors through homes from Rockhampton in the north to Lismore in northern New South Wales. The quake, recorded at a depth of 10km by Geoscience Australia, hit just east of Murgon around 9.50am, with the tremor widely felt across a broad swathe of the state. In the hours following, more than 3,000 people logged reports with Geoscience Australia, describing homes shaking in Brisbane, Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Hervey Bay, and the Gold Coast. Brisbane alone registered over 1,000 shake reports, while 649 were made from Caboolture, and 634 from the Sunshine Coast region, including 78 from Maleny and more than 91 from the Gold Coast. Toowoomba recorded around 200 reports, with 66 in Kingaroy and 52 in Gympie. The tremor is believed to be the strongest in the Brisbane region in over a year, based on data from Earthquake Track, which monitors seismic activity above magnitude 1.5. Power outages were reported in the South Burnett and Fraser Coast areas, with approximately 10,000 homes affected, according to Ergon Energy. 'The loss of supply is due to damage requiring emergency repairs. Fault finding is in progress,' the energy provider said. Telephone services were also affected near the epicentre, with local businesses in Murgon unable to receive calls throughout the morning. Despite the disruption inland, Energex confirmed there were no unplanned outages in South East Queensland attributed to the seismic event. Geoscience Australia's 'felt map' showed the earthquake's reach extended hundreds of kilometres, with tremors reported in areas stretching from Rockhampton to Lismore. The Bureau of Meteorology confirmed that there is no tsunami threat to the Australian coastline. The earthquake is one of the largest recorded in the region in recent years, and while no injuries have been reported, emergency crews continue to assess the impact on infrastructure.

Queensland rocked by 5.6 magnitude earthquake near Brisbane
Southeast Queensland has been rocked by a 5.6 magnitude earthquake, with tremors felt as far south as Brisbane. Geoscience Australia reported the quake in a remote area near Goomeri, northwest of the Sunshine Coast, at 9.49am on Saturday. The quake was measured at a magnitude of 5.6 and at a depth of 2km. There had been more than 9000 'felt reports', according to Geoscience Australia. More than 6500 homes were also hit by a power outage in the vicinity of the quake. The outage was first reported at 9.49am, the exact time of the quake, though the cause was still being investigated, according to Ergon Energy. A further 5204 customers were also impacted by a second outage near Hervey Bay, which was also under investigation and first reported at 9.50am. Residents in Brisbane and swathes of the state's southeast flooded social media with reports of tremors. 'My house began to noticeably shake/rock for no apparent reason,' one resident of Kelvin Grove is Brisbane's out suburbs said. 'WTF! We just had an earthquake,' another person from Melaney, near the Sunshine Coast said. 'I was still in bed and heard a deep rumble like a big truck going down the street, then the house – and bed – started to shake and the windows rattled. 'Next, my nephew's wife rang, 'Are you OK!' They felt it in Brisbane, too!' Former Premier Steven Miles shared a google alert of the quake, stating: 'Did you just feel the earthquake?' Storm Chaser Justin Noonan said: 'Pretty significant earthquake at that for Australian standards. Reports of the quake came in from across the southeast of the state, including Boondall, Oxley in Brisbane and Macleay Island near Moreton Bay, and in Gympie. More to come.
