Forecast issued at 4:02 pm EDT on Monday 21 January 2019.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system lies over the Tasman Sea, while a trough stretches from central Australia through western New South Wales. This pattern will bring northerly winds to most coastal areas today and Tuesday. A trough is forecast to bring a fairly weak southerly change to southern and central waters mid-week, which should quickly decay as the Tasman high asserts its dominance.
