Small hail is also possible in several districts as the front moves through, mainly in the west and south during the evening.

The Central Plateau, western, upper Derwent Valley and south-east districts are all flagged for possible small hail, along with Smithton, Strahan and Queenstown.

Queenstown will be wet, with a 100% chance of rain. Strahan and Lake St Clair will both have a very high chance of showers.

Conditions will ease from Thursday, with mostly fine weather returning and a sunny, frosty Friday to end the week.
