People in areas including Goulburn, Bowral, Nowra, Wollongong, Katoomba and Lithgow have been told to prepare for wind gusts averaging 65km/h and reaching in excess of 90km/h.

Meanwhile, sheep graziers in the Central West Slopes and Plains, South West Slopes and Southern and Central Tablelands are being warned that cold temperatures, rain and strengthening west to south-westerly winds are expected during Saturday and Sunday.
