Forecast issued at 4:30 pm EDT on Saturday 25 January 2025.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system will slowly move east to reach the Tasman Sea by later Sunday, while a trough lingers over the northern inland. On Monday and Tuesday, this inland trough is forecast to deepen and then move east as a cold front passes to the south. This pattern will draw a hot and unstable airmass across the region ahead of a cool and gusty southerly change. After this, the trough is forecast to stall along the north coast for the remainder of the week.
Forecast for the rest of Saturday
Clear. Winds south to southeasterly 15 to 25 km/h.
