Weather Situation
A high pressure system is centred over the western Tasman Sea, while a low in the Bight is linked to a trough over central Australia. A cloud band associated with this trough is bringing patchy rain to the far west today, and will continue to move east during Thursday although rain totals are unlikely to be significant. By late Friday the low is expected to be near Bass Strait, with the trough moving towards the northeast of New South Wales before clearing the state on Saturday. Another high pressure system is forecast to develop over the region during the weekend in the wake of the trough.
