View the current warnings for New South Wales
Forecast issued at 4:30 pm EDT on Friday 6 December 2019.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the Bight extends a ridge into western New South Wales, while a series of cold fronts clip the state's southeast. The last of these fronts will clear the region tonight, allowing the high to become dominant as it drifts slowly east. This pattern will see a continuation of generally dry weather through the weekend, with temperatures increasing significantly early in the new week as hot air from central Australia is drawn into New South Wales. A broad, slow-moving trough looks set to offer some temperature relief mid-week, and may bring the odd shower or thunderstorm to eastern parts.

Clear. Areas of smoke haze. Winds westerly 20 to 30 km/h becoming light in the late evening.
