John Fisher, senior meteorologist at Weatherzone said temperatures were looking cooler due to a trough moving across NSW.
"In the wake of the trough, we will see cooler southerly winds developing on Tuesday with a few showers expected," he said.
Parts of the South Coast including streets in Narooma and Bermagui were flooded on Tuesday morning.
Wednesday will be cloudy with a low of two degrees heading for a top of 15 degrees.
Thursday morning is expected to see the return of freezing temperatures again, with a low of zero forecast, before hitting a top of 18 degrees, but there may be a shower in the afternoon.
On Friday temperatures will drop again down to 17 degrees with a chance of showers and light winds.
"The good news is that the weekend will gradually warm up to the low twenties," Mr Fisher said.
Sunny conditions are expected to return, with a forecast of 20 degrees on Saturday and 24 degrees on Sunday.
