Weather Situation
A high pressure system near New Zealand extends a ridge towards northeastern New South Wales, while a trough and associated cold front move across the state's south and west. This system will extend to central districts in the afternoon and the northeast overnight. Behind this, a new high is expected to shift from the Bight to the Tasman Sea at the start of the week and should maintain a ridge along the coast while an inland trough deepens. The next significant southerly change is likely to arrive during the second half of the week.
