Friday is set to be mostly sunny with a top of 36 degrees while Saturday will reach 40 degrees.
Despite the hot weather, Sunday is almost certain to be met by showers later in the day.
Wet and cooler conditions are expected for the start of the working week with Monday set to reach 28 degrees.
Meanwhile, multiple fires started in the Gloucester district as a result of an electrical storm on Saturday afternoon (February 4).
Due to the change in wind direction, smoke descended on the township of Gloucester on Wednesday.
The Rural Fire Service (RFS) is working with National Parks and Wildlife and Forestry Corporation of NSW (State Forests) on several locations in Copeland, Giro and Terrell over the next couple of days.
The RFS have warned that the weather conditions are extremely dry and encourage residents to have a Bush Fire Survival Plan in place.
