Forecast issued at 4:30 pm EDT on Thursday 12 December 2024.
Weather Situation
A weak trough of low pressure extends from the northern inland to the southern coast of New South Wales today, while a ridge of high pressure extends from the Bight into the state's west and another high lies over the northern Tasman Sea. A new trough is forecast to move along southern and central parts of the coast on Friday, associated with a cold front passing to the south, before decaying on the weekend as high pressure over the Tasman Sea becomes dominant. This high will draw hot air across much of the state until a cold front brings a cooler change to most areas during Tuesday and Wednesday.
