Large areas of the region have endured a string of bitterly cold mornings this week as winter takes its first real bite for the season
This spell of frosty overnight temperatures has been caused by a cold and dry air mass interacting with clear skies and light winds beneath a narrow high-pressure ridge.
Weatherzone’s Ben Domensino says narrow ridges are notorious for causing cold mornings in southeastern Australia during winter.
Glen Innes Airport reported a low of -6 yesterday while Inverell went down to -1 officially although STA FM received a report of -5.7 * in Raglan St yesterday morning
Cold temperatures are set to linger for the week in the region with warmer daytime temperatures forecast into next week.
