View the current warnings for New South Wales
Forecast issued at 5:15 am EDT on Saturday 28 November 2020.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea will drift slowly northeast over the next couple of days, allowing for heat to build over New South Wales. This heat will lead to severe heatwave conditions across much of the state today and on Sunday as well as bringing elevated fire dangers to some areas. Windy conditions are also forecast to develop today, as a trough enters the west later and deepens as it moves east on Sunday. A cold front associated with this trough looks set to bring a strong and gusty cool change along the coast on Sunday, resulting in the heat contracting towards the north. A new high is expected to move over the Tasman Sea Monday, bringing more settled conditions to the region, before the wind and heat increase again Tuesday ahead of another trough.
Forecast for the rest of Saturday
Mostly sunny morning. Medium (60%) chance of showers during this afternoon and evening. The chance of a thunderstorm during this afternoon and evening, with possible gusty winds. Winds northwesterly 35 to 50 km/h.
