This high will pass south of Tasmania during Tuesday, and then strengthen further in the southern Tasman Sea on Wednesday. A trough moving through the Bight is likely to reach western waters late on Thursday as a weakening cold front slides away to the south. The trough will remain slow moving over Victoria on Friday as another cold front approaches from the west.
