The upper Hunter will have frosty starts on both days of the weekend. Coastal areas will have warmer tops of 24 degrees on Saturday, but rain and a top of 19 degrees is expected on Sunday.
Newcastle temperatures top just 19 degrees on Monday.
"It's certainly a weekend to make sure you're keeping nice and warm," Ms Doyle said.
