Daily Weather Review for NSW and ACT
Issued at 4:43 pm EST on Monday 6 May 2013.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system near Tasmania will move slowly east during the next few days, maintaining a ridge over eastern New South Wales. A weak trough over the state's west may bring a light shower or two to some areas with the chance of isolated thunderstorms in the northwestern inland Tuesday afternoon, while onshore winds deliver a few coastal showers. Aside from this, generally dry weather will prevail this week under the influence of the high, with daytime temperatures on the rise.
Highest rainfall in the 24 hours to 9am was 13 mm at Ballina.
The overnight minimum temperature range was from -7 degrees at Goulburn Airport to 15 degrees at Yamba.
The daytime highest temperatures recorded to 4pm ranged from 7 degrees at Thredbo Top Station to 27 degrees at Tibooburra Airport.
Today was a generally fine and partly cloudy day across the state, with only a few isolated showers along the coastal fringe, particularly in the Northern Rivers.
Overnight minimum temperatures were generally below average across the state, tending average on the Mid-North Coast and above average in the Northern Rivers, Northern Tablelands and Northwest Slopes & Plains. Maximum temperatures today were below average along the coast, tending average on the Central and Southern Tablelands, and above average across the rest of the state.
Light to moderate south to southeast winds prevailed over NSW today, occasionally fresh about the more exposed parts of the northern coast, and tending more easterly across western inland districts.
