Weather Situation
A broad trough lies over eastern New South Wales today, while a ridge extends into the state from the west, bringing stable weather to most areas. A low pressure system is deepening over the Southern Ocean, and will move slowly east during the next few days, reaching the Tasman Sea by Saturday. A series of troughs and cold fronts associated with this low will cross southeast Australia during the next few days, bringing windy and dry weather to much of New South Wales. Cooler conditions will also accompany the passage of this system, particularly affecting southern districts. Following this, a new high pressure system is forecast to become dominant during the weekend, with mostly fine conditions lingering until another trough brings a return to unsettled weather next week.
Forecast for the rest of Wednesday
Mostly clear. The chance of a thunderstorm about the ranges. Winds west to northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h becoming light in the evening.
