Meteorologist with weatherzone Tom Hough says Wednesday's maximum temperature of 24 degrees will be our hottest day this week before a cold front brings a burst of colder air to the Port Macquarie-Hastings.
Wednesday's maximum is 4 degrees above the average for this time of the year.
"A cold front is moving across the southern parts of Victoria and will likely move across NSW through the day," he said.
"This will draw warmer air from the interior through to the Mid-North Coast.
"The remainder of the working week will remain mostly sunny with similar weather forecasts through until Saturday.
"However, we could see some possible patches of cloud on Thursday or Friday.
"There will be a gradual cooling of maximum temperatures with Thursday forecast to be 23 degrees and Friday down to 20 degrees."
Another cold front is due to cross Victoria on Saturday and this will again see the daytime maximum temperature increase to 22 degrees.
Sunday's maximum is likely to be 19 degrees while Monday is expected to be around the 17 degree mark, and it is also expected to be windy.
Mr Hough said we can also expect some chilly mornings off the back of the cold fronts moving across the region coupled with clear skies.
"Minimum temperatures on Thursday and Friday will be around 5 degrees before it drops to about 3 degrees on Saturday," he said.
"Sunday is likely to be around that 5 degree mark with just 1 or 2 degree forecast minimums predicted for Monday and Tuesday."
Out to sea, Mr Hough said we can expect .5 to 1 metre wave heights through Thursday and Friday while it will start to build on Saturday.
"You should see a peak on Sunday and Monday of around 2 to 3 metre significant wave height," he added.
The meteorologist said it was likely to be another very dry week ahead.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds for areas around the Illawarra, Snowy Mountains and parts of South Coast, Central Tablelands, Southern Tablelands and Australian Capital Territory Forecast Districts.
West to northwesterly winds will continue to strengthen into the day as a cold front approaches from the west. The front is forecast to cross southeastern NSW during Wednesday afternoon.
Damaging winds for the Alpine aeras above 1900 metres are expected to average 80 to 90 kilometres per hour with peak gusts in excess of 120km/h.
Blizzard conditions are possible.
