Residents of Adelaide and surrounding areas can expect a somewhat variable yet mostly mild weather pattern as the weekend approaches. The Bureau of Meteorology reports that today, the weather will be partly cloudy across various locations with maximum temperatures around the mid-teens and minimal chance of rain forecasted at 5%.
Adelaide will experience a high of 16 degrees with similar weather expected in Mount Barker, while Elizabeth may reach a slightly higher 17 degrees. Coastal areas like Glenelg and Noarlunga are anticipated to see highs of around 15 degrees. The day will begin with patchy morning fog, especially noticeable in areas like Elizabeth, but this will clear as the day progresses, leading to light winds and partly cloudy skies across these regions.
A Road Weather Alert has been issued, warning of reduced visibility on Friday morning due to the fog, which will make driving conditions hazardous in the Adelaide area. SA Police urge motorists to exercise caution by slowing down, maintaining a safe following distance, and using headlights during the fog.
The outlook for Saturday is slightly warmer, with Adelaide expecting a minimum of 6 degrees and a maximum of 17 degrees. The weather will start with possible morning frost in the northern suburbs and fog patches, which are expected to clear into a mostly sunny afternoon. A minimal increase in the probability of rain is around 10%.
Weather conditions are influenced by a ridge of high pressure that is expected to hold steady over South Australia through the weekend. An approaching cold front from the west early next week might bring changes, but for now, residents can enjoy relatively calm weather.
Along the southern coastal districts, there could be isolated showers with generally light winds expected throughout Friday. The weekend weather in these areas will continue with isolated showers, particularly around the Lower South East district, and light southeast to northeast winds.
Overall, while the weather remains moderately mild and mostly dry, individuals should prepare for potentially foggy mornings and occasional showers in coastal areas.
