View the current warnings for New South Wales
Forecast issued at 4:30 pm EDT on Monday 23 October 2017.
Weather Situation
A weak high pressure ridge extends across southern and western New South Wales, while a trough lingers over the northeast. This trough will weaken overnight as the ridge moves further east, with a new high centre developing over northern Tasman Sea during Tuesday. Later on Tuesday a new trough will approach the state from South Australia, reaching western parts on Wednesday and continuing to the east during Thursday, with a weak low pressure circulation developing within it. By Friday this system is expected to have reached the Tasman Sea, allowing another ridge to extend over New South Wales, although this may be short-lived, with a further trough likely on the weekend.
