Sheep graziers are advised that cold temperatures, rain and showers and northeasterly winds are expected during Thursday and into Friday.
Areas likely to be affected include parts of the North West Slopes & Plains and Central West Slopes & Plains forecast districts.
The BOM said there is a risk of losses of lambs and sheep that are exposed to the conditions.
A high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea is moving slowly east and a trough will deepen over the inland during the course of Thursday, generating rain and thunderstorms.
