Weather Situation

A cold front is skimming to the south while its associated trough is crossing the southern and central areas and heading north, bringing warm and windy conditions ahead of the passage, then a cool southerly wind change in their wake. Warm and windy conditions are forecast to redevelop mid to late next week as the trough in the state's north redevelops while another cold fronts skim to the south.
