All of the recent model runs (GFS and NOGAPS up to 12Z on Thurs 30th) continue to show a compact and powerful storm making landfall on Cape Town during the daytime tomorrow (Fri 31st), with snow on the SW-Cape mountains overnight (into Sat 1st).
I don't have much to add to the comments posted earlier, but do suggest that you stay tuned!
The SAWS aviation takeoff data for Cape Town airport tomorrow (Fri 31st) show the rapid drop in surface pressure, and sharp increase in wind speed, as the low approaches near midday. The maximum temperature for CT on Fri 31st is likely to be 13C with a gale force wind.
