The Bureau is predicting just a slight chance of rain between Thursday and Sunday, with tops of 20-21 degrees forecast.
However, the BOM says the La Nina conditions that brought unprecedented rain and flooding to vast swathes of the coast in summer and autumn will continue throughout winter, bringing above-average rainfall for much of eastern Australia.
Newcastle Herald photographer Peter Lorimer was on deck early on Wednesday morning to capture the sun emerging through the fog.
