Forecast issued at 4:30 pm EDT on Saturday 15 December 2018.
Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system lies over inland New South Wales, while a ridge is strengthening over the southern Tasman Sea. This pattern is bringing humid air from the tropics into eastern New South Wales, leading to stormy and unsettled conditions in many areas. During Sunday the low is expected to move southeast over Tasmania, with an associated trough crossing southeast New South Wales. This trough is likely to linger for the following day or two, extending back towards the state's northwest, while a high over the Tasman Sea maintains a ridge towards the northern coast.

Partly cloudy. Medium (60%) chance of showers, becoming less likely later tonight. The chance of a thunderstorm. Winds north to northeasterly 15 to 20 km/h.
