The heat wave conditions that were swept through Australia during the long weekend will shift states because a cool change brings the risk of serious thunderstorms, including large hail and harmful wind.
The Bureau of Meteorology said that NSW would bear the victim of the same pool of very hot air that sent temperatures in parts of South Australia and about Victoria on Monday to the 40s.
Severe heat wave conditions are predicted in NSW for Central West ropes and plains, hunter, metropolitan, Midden Noordkust, Northwestern slopes & plains, northern tablets, southwestern slopes and upper western districts.
Two forest fires are still raging in western Victoria, but residents said that they had to evacuate immediately.
An emergency warning to take shelter has been issued for Dimboola and moaning in northwestern Victoria, with a fire in Little Desert National Park not yet under control and on the way to the east.
'You are in danger and you have to act immediately to survive. The safest option is to take shelter immediately. It is too late to leave, “says the Vicemency website.
A second out of hand Brand is burning at Strachans, Victoria Point and Victoria Valley in Grampians National Park in the west of the State, an area that is popular with holidaymakers and authorities have urged people to 'leave the area immediately' .
The fire flared over the long weekend when the temperature reached the high 40s, followed by a cool change and gusts of wind.
In NSW, Sydney and some of the western suburbs can expect temperatures in the High 30s or Low 40s on Tuesday before the cool change shifts the NSW -coast, Senior Meteorologist Angus Hines said.
The temperature is expected to reach the Hoge 30S in Sydney on Tuesday, while some parts of NSW will exceed more than 40c

“It will be what we call a bit of a southern buster and that coast is getting along with a little cruelty, which brings some very strong wind and a very sharp decrease in temperature – and for Sydney is predicted around 4 p.m.,” Mr Hines said.
“The temperature can fall around 15 degrees … and the wind will also pick up and become very strong.”
The change can also cause potentially serious thunderstorms, usually reach around the eastern and to the east coast.
“If that happens, those serious storms can cause harmful gusts of wind, large hail or heavy rainfall that can lead to floods,” said Mr Hines.
“So it can be a very active day of again over NSW, starting with the heat and then coming in with the storms and the sharp temperature drop and the powerful wind.”
On the other side of the country, heat wave conditions that are experienced last week return with the prediction of temperatures 4c to 12c warmer than the typical January averages in western parts of West -Australia -and in the 40s in the coming days.
The tropical north would also be a focus for predictors in the coming days, Mr Hines said, with rainfall that is intensifying in northeastern Queensland.
“There was probably a warning for heavy rainfall issued for some parts of the coast, usually between Cairns and Townsville,” he said.

“When we start watching next week, we see the potential for tropical cyclone development for a few areas in North Australia.”
This includes the Coral Sea off the coast of Noordoost -Veensland, in the Gulf of Carpentaria and possibly for the north coast of WA.
“There are still a few days until that is likely to happen, but certainly, anyone who lives in the northern latitrades of Australia, must keep an eye on the prediction and the warnings when we are approaching the end of this week,” Mr Hines said .
