A low pressure trough over Victoria will deepen tonight, with a low pressure system forming over eastern Victoria on Monday as a weak high pressure system moves over the Bight and extends a ridge to the south of Tasmania. During Tuesday the low is forecast to move away to the east as the high pressure ridge moves over Bass Strait and a cold front crosses waters south of the Bight. The front will enter Bass Strait on Wednesday and move east in to the Tasman by Thursday morning. A ridge of high pressure is then expected to move in from the west later Thursday.
