The Bureau of Meteorology has warned that winds of up to, and possibly exceeding, 100km/h will hit northwest, central, east coast and south east parts of the state.

So strong are the winds that the Bureau has issued a severe weather warning for the areas expected to be affected.

"We've got a low pressure system to our South and that's going to come up in the morning and during the afternoon and we're expecting the winds to start increasing around lunch time in the South of the state and into the afternoon in the North of the state," BoM senior meteorologist Michael Conway said.

"We're looking at average winds of around 50-60km/h with gusts of around 90-100km/h and possibly reaching up to 100km/h or slightly more."

He warned that powerlines, trees and unsecured backyard belongings could be impacted by the winds.

The winds are expected to have died off by tomorrow.

Mr Conway said the rest of the week should be a little more subdued.

"The rest of the week is looking rather settled with a high-pressure ridge coming over us until at least Thursday. So after this bout of winds the winds will really ease of and we'll get pretty much mostly sunny conditions and maybe a few afternoon sea-breezes around the coastal parts," he said.

Launceston is in for a return to so-called summer after a few brisk days. The mercury is not expected to fall below 20 degrees celsius for the rest of the week with a sunny 31 forecast for Sunday.
