All I can say is that it's unusual for MetEye (ie. human made) to be so optimistic.
I notice GFS is showing -5 at 850mb for Saturday morning in parts of the CT's so could be snow down to 700m or even 600m if moisture holds.

Bureau has indicated possible snow on the CT's in comments above 700 for a day or 2 now. Cold air but precip will likely be an issue as usual. Be nice if Meteye was right  yeah, GFS isn't interested in latest run, but I'll stay optimistic be nicer if we saw snow down to 700 or so right into the CT's  save me a long drive ha ha

Cheers May see you there - depends how this evolves - Crookwell is looking good, being closer to the colder air, so I may linger there.

Hey Cheers!!! Wayne has moved back to the Central coast - so he won't make it. Working Friday and I think wifey is trying to keep me busy on Saturday - HOWEVER I would like to get out there if it looks interesting. The biggest issue for me these days is that I am back in a 2wd sedan instead of the Forester!! If you see a dopey grin out of a red falcon - it's likely me Have fun mate - camping in the motel this time? Not the troopy?

Here is the forecast for the Central Tablelands issued this afternoon: Friday 18 August
Partly cloudy. High (70%) chance of showers in the south, slight (30%) chance elsewhere. Snow levels lowering to 900 metres by late evening. Winds westerly 35 to 50 km/h. Overnight temperatures falling to between 1 and 7 with daytime temperatures reaching between 8 and 15.
Saturday 19 August
Cloudy. Slight (30%) chance of a shower in the south in the morning. Near zero chance of rain elsewhere. Snow possible above 800 metres. Areas of morning frost in the south. Winds west to southwesterly 20 to 30 km/h tending south to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the day. Overnight temperatures falling to between minus 2 and 4 above zero with daytime temperatures reaching between 8 and 15. Precipitation chances don't look good, e.g. there's only a 'slight' chance on Saturday and snow is only 'possible'.
