Weather Situation
A low-pressure system lies near the southern New South Wales coast, supported by an upper-level low a little further west. This coastal low is providing forcing for further heavy rainfall along the south coast and gale-force winds over southern coastal waters. The coastal low is expected to be slow moving today, before moving east across the western Tasman Sea on Friday. A trough is expected to affect eastern parts of the state over the weekend with showers associated.
