Forecast updated at 8:08 pm EDT on Sunday 1 October 2023.
Weather Situation
A cold front will slip away to the south as its associated trough moves east across the state, bringing a cooler change to the southern half of the coast, this evening. This trough will weaken as a ridge of high pressure develops on Monday. After this, a significant cold front will cross the region between Tuesday and Thursday, deepening to form a low pressure system over southeastern Australia on Wednesday. This system looks set to bring widespread rainfall and strong winds before a cooler airmass moves overhead with more settled conditions developing under a new ridge of high pressure at the end of the week.
