"Another mass of frigid air has its sights on Australia and some areas could see even lower temperatures, and more damaging winds, over the coming week," Weatherzone said.
"The strongest winds from this system will occur between Saturday night and Monday, with damaging gusts possible in parts of SA, TAS, VIC, the ACT, NSW and southern QLD.
"Wind should ease on Tuesday into Wednesday, although another frontal system could cause winds to restrengthen from Thursday and possibly linger into the weekend."
Residents in three states are experiencing the early bite of winter with minimum temperatures between eight and 11 degrees forecast this weekend.
"Temperatures will start to drop with the passage of the first front this weekend, before colder air continues to spread across southern, central and eastern Australia throughout most of next week," Weatherzone said.
It is the second cold air mass to travel up from Antarctica to Australia in a week.

At Mount Buller in Victoria, Rhylla Morgan said there is already 45 centimetres of snow in the alpine area.
"Sometimes at this time of year we don't have any snow on the ground and those storms have just been blitzing the mountains and there's more coming this weekend," Morgan said.
"This kind of snowfall this early is pretty extraordinary."
Weatherzone warned severe weather warnings are likely to be issued this weekend in multiple states.
