Weather Situation
A broad high pressure system lies over southeast Australia today, while a weak trough looks set to bring the odd shower to coastal areas through the day. The high will drift slowly east during the next day or two, to be centred over the Tasman Sea by Saturday. A cold front is expected to skim across southern New South Wales during Sunday as the high weakens, before a second, stronger cold front on Monday. This front is forecast to bring a gusty west to southwesterly changes to coastal areas. Behind this, a new high is forecast to move across from the west, bringing a return to generally benign conditions.
