Forecast issued at 5:15 am EDT on Saturday 7 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 Saturday
Partly cloudy. Medium (50%) chance of showers this afternoon. Light winds becoming northeasterly 15 to 25 km/h in the middle of the day then becoming light in the evening. Daytime maximum temperatures around 30.
Large and powerful surf conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, swimming and surfing.
Fire Danger - Far North Coast: Low-Moderate
UV Alert from 9:20 am to 4:30 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 10 [Very High]
