Weather Situation
A low-pressure system lies over the Tasman Sea and continues to head eastwards, while a high-pressure ridge extends across the state's west. A series of troughs look set to brush the state's bringing wet and windy conditions and powerful waves along the coast today and for the next few days. Winds and waves will ease later this week as the troughs head to southeast Queensland and they will be followed by a strong high-pressure system drifting across Bass Strait. The high will maintain a ridge across the state's south and west as it enters the Tasman Sea during the weekend, bringing stable weather conditions to much of the state apart from some lingering showers in the northeast.
Forecast for the rest of Wednesday
Cloudy. High chance of showers. Winds south to southwesterly 20 to 30 km/h. Daytime maximum temperatures between 13 and 17.
