Forecast issued at 4:10 am EST on Sunday 31 May 2020.
Weather Situation
A broad high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge to the northern New South Wales coast and southeastern Queensland, while a series of cold fronts approach from the west. The first of these fronts is forecast to slip across the south of the state this morning, before a second, stronger cold front moves across the state on Monday and early Tuesday. A low pressure system may form as the second front reaches the Tasman Sea on Tuesday, sending stronger winds and larger waves along the coast by mid-week.
