Forecast issued at 4:32 pm EDT on Friday 30 January 2015.
Weather Situation
A low centred to the east of Bass Strait is the dominant weather system in the region, directing a generally southerly airstream over New South Wales. This low will remain very slow-moving tonight and Saturday as a high passes to its south. Later on the weekend the low is expected to weaken and move away to the east, with a new high south of the Bight building a ridge along the New South Wales coast. As the coastal ridge strengthens at the start of the new week, a trough is forecast to deepen over the inland.
Forecast for the rest of Friday
Clear. Winds southerly 15 to 25 km/h.
Saturday 31 January
Sunny. Winds south to southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h tending south to southwesterly in the middle of the day. Overnight temperatures falling to between 15 and 18 with daytime temperatures reaching the low to mid 30s.
