The front is forecast to produce damaging winds over most of the Free State except the north-western areas, with isolated showers and thundershowers possible only in the southern parts.

Mathivha added that mainly cold to cool temperatures are expected from Sunday through Wednesday, with no further rainfall anticipated until Friday.
