"Some areas could see thunderstorms and a few places may even witness rare thundersnow (lightning and snow at the same time)."
Hobart, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Adelaide are all forecast to see drops in minimum temperatures into the single figures from tomorrow onwards due to the sudden cold snap.
