Brisbane temperatures will plummet to single digits over the weekend, with Brisbane and Ipswich seeing minimum temperatures of 5-9 degrees, as a cold front approaches southeast Queensland.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Michael Paech said we’ll get a real cool, dry south-westerly burst over the weekend and as a result morning minimums, and in fact maximums, to drop away fairly rapidly.

The cold change follows downpours on the Sunshine Coast earlier this week.
