Approaching Cold Front: Western-, Southern, Northern and Eastern Cape (14 - 15 June 2014)

The latest forecast models reflect a cold front approaching the South Western Cape making landfall later today.  This front is likely to bring near gale force (50km/h) winds from the NNW becoming strong from the NW later along the Western Cape coast line between Table Bay to Agulhas.  Heavy rain (2- 32 mm) can be expected in areas of the Northern- and Western Cape, mostly falling on Saturday. Mild conditions (16 - 22 Deg/C in places) can be expected before the front but a drop in temperatures (Min 10 Deg/C in places) is expected behind the cold front.  No snow is expected to fall as a result of this cold front. Once again take note of the near gale force winds which can result in severe weather.
