The low is expected to move southeast during the day today and to deepen east of Bass Strait early tomorrow morning before moving steadily further to the southeast during tomorrow. The low will bring windy conditions to the southern and central coast and ranges tomorrow morning though conditions are expected to ease during the day tomorrow as a high-pressure ridge extends over the state. Some coastal showers are expected Friday and Saturday with the passage of a relatively weak front but otherwise mild, generally settled weather conditions are expected Friday and across the weekend as a strong high-pressure system over the Bight extends a ridge across the state.
