Forecast issued at 4:30 am EDT on Friday 1 December 2023.
Weather Situation
A low-pressure system lies off the southern New South Wales coast and is providing forcing for showers and strong winds over the far southeast of the state. The low is expected to continue to move slowly to the southeast today with conditions continuing to ease. An upper trough will cross Queensland today resulting in some shower and possible thunderstorm activity dipping into northern New South Wales today and Saturday, and a second trough is expected to affect southeastern parts of the state over the weekend with showers and isolated thunderstorms associated. A high pressure ridge is expected to develop over the state early in the new week with a stabilising and warming influence.
Forecast for the rest of Friday
Scattered showers and the chance of a thunderstorm about the north and in the southeast. Isolated showers across the central parts. Dry and partly cloudy in the southwest. Daytime temperatures above average along the north coast but well below average elsewhere, particularly for the northern inland. West to southwesterly winds over most of the state tending fresh southerly along the southern coast and northeasterly on the north coast.
