Meteorologist with weatherzone Brett Dutschke said the clear skies will help keep maximum temperatures in the mid- to low- 20s range through to Sunday.
“We will have a lot of clear skies for the next few days,” he said. “Friday will see 22 degrees as the maximum and generally sunny conditions.
“The day will start off with six degrees.
“Saturday’s minimum will be five degrees before climbing up to a top of 20 degrees and generally sunny.
“On Sunday, the day will start off with a minimum of five degrees and heating up to about 23 degrees. It will be a very pleasant day but there is a good chance of a sea breeze in the afternoon.
“It will be fairly mild on Sunday. However there is a change likely Sunday afternoon and into Monday morning which will feature a bit of extra cloud and more winds.
“Monday is the next best chance of some rain and that will be late in the day but it does not look to be anything particularly heavy.”
A low pressure trough is developing in West Australia and is pushing east. It features a north west cloud band which is a good source of rain.

Mr Dutschke said Wauchope and Mount Seaview are likely to receive heavier rainfall than Port Macquarie.
Tuesday’s maximum temperature will climb to about 20 degrees.
“There is likely to be a south westerly change bringing the odd brief shower on Tuesday and Wednesday,” he said.
Temperatures will return to the high teens and low 20s later in the week.
Winds over the next few days will be between 10 to 20 kilometres per hour and generally northerly. These winds are likely to be a bit calmer on Saturday before picking up again on Sunday afternoon associated with the low pressure trough.
Tuesday is likely to be the windiest day reaching 20 to 30 kilometres per hour with strong gusts. Windes will be south westerly in nature.
Off shore winds will reach 15 to 25 knots at their peak but dropping off a bit on Saturday. The swell is continuing to abate.
And if you thought it was a touch cool on Thursday, you’d be right. Mr Dutschke said Thursday’s minimum temperature dropped to 1.3 degrees, the coldest morning in 12 months. The average minimum temperature for July is seven degrees.
