Sydney is in for another wet cool day but the heavy hail storms that whipped through Saturday afternoon are not expected.
The hail was so heavy in parts of the city that it looked like it had snowed. Referees at the NRL Dragons vs Roosters game at Allianz Stadium had to suspend play for awhile. http://bit.ly/1IbhjEQ
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Zach Berry-Porter, said Sydney was "getting towards the end of the thunderstorm season and it's strange to see weather like this".
He said the weather was unlikely to reach the severity of the three-day storm earlier this week that led to a natural disaster being declared in 12 parts of the state.
"It's looking like things are going to stabilise on Sunday," he said. "It will be a cooler day with a chance of showers across Sydney."
Many Sydney residents have been using the past couple of days to clean yards and plug leaks from the past week's epic storms. See a storm photo gallery: http://bit.ly/1OTdS5D
Saturday's top temperature reached a balmy 25.9 degrees just before 1.30pm.
The colder air will drop maximums for the city to about 20 degrees most days of the coming week.
Another east coast low coming?
Meteorologists, meanwhile, are keeping a close eye on the possibility of another east coast low forming off the NSW towards the end of next week.
One of three models used by Weatherzone "is giving quite a strong signal of an east coast low", Anthony Duke, a meteorologist said.
East coast lows can be triggered by different weather events coming together, and their impact depends on where they form and how long they last. This week's event was particularly severe, triggering deluges and bringing persistent strong winds and waves to much of the central NSW coast.
Mr Duke cautioned that much uncertainty remains about whether such a low will form, although if one does it may be further north than last week's, and may arrive towards the end of the working week.
The rainfall does not look like it will be quite as much as the last event," Mr Duke said. However, if it falls in areas already sodden there may be the chance for more flash floods.
The Bureau of Meteorology is also predicting a pick up in rain towards the end of next week with its 4-day forecast for rainfall totals from April 29-May 2 indicating some coastal areas to Sydney's north may be in for 100mm or more.
An upper level trough bringing "quite a lot of cold air" will disrupt Saturday's calm conditions and will likely "kick up gale force winds over coastal water" into Sunday, Francois Geffroy, a bureau meteorologist said.
