Forecast issued at 4:32 pm EDT on Friday 6 March 2015.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system south of WA extends a ridge across western and northern New South Wales, while a cold front clips the state's corner. During the weekend a high is expected to become established over the Tasman Sea while a weak trough lingers over northeast New South Wales. This pattern should bring a return to more humid conditions for parts of the north and east, but is unlikely to generate any significant rainfall during the forecast period.
Forecast for the rest of Friday
Clear. Winds southwesterly 20 to 30 km/h becoming light in the late evening.
Saturday 7 March
Mostly sunny. Light winds becoming west to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h in the early afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to between 8 and 13 with daytime temperatures reaching 25 to 30.
