Forecast issued at 5:15 am EDT on Wednesday 20 January 2021.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system east of Tasmania extends a ridge across southern and eastern New South Wales, with a weak trough over inland NSW. The high pressure system will slowly migrate to the Tasman Sea on Thursday, where it will remain slow moving, and the trough will strengthen over the inland. This pattern will draw a hot airmass across western and southern New South Wales at the end of the week and over the weekend, leading to heatwave conditions.
Forecast for the rest of Wednesday
Cloudy morning, clearing to a sunny afternoon. Light winds becoming northeast to southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h in the evening then becoming light in the late evening.
