Daily Weather Review for NSW and ACT
Issued at 7:17 pm EDT on Friday 15 November 2019.
Weather Situation
A ridge of high pressure over the northern New South Wales is being displaced to the northeast as a southerly change moves across the southern coast this afternoon. Fresh westerly winds were observed across the southern and central ranges, Illawarra and Hunter today ahead of the change, that lead to the elevated fire dangers in the northeast and the central eastern parts of the state, with extensive areas of bushfire smoke affecting the northeast. Another high pressure system to the south of Western Australia is slowly moving east while extending a ridge towards the western parts of the state. This high pressure system is forecast to move across the state during the weekend, while an inland trough develops across the central west, leading to the development of the easterly winds across the eastern parts of the state in the wake of the southerly change.
Highest rainfall in the 24 hours to 9am was 1.0 mm at Thora Post Office.
The overnight minimum temperature range was from 3 degrees at Armidale to 18 degrees at Byron Bay.
The daytime highest temperatures recorded to 4pm ranged from 9 degrees at Thredbo Top Station to 37 degrees at Casino.
Moderate to fresh westerly winds inland and NE sea breeze in the northern coast. A southerly change along the southern part of the coast.
The minmum temperatures were below the average across the state aside from part of Illawarra, Central Tablelands.
The maximum temperatures were above the average in the northern parts of the state which were ahead of the change, while below the average in the south behind the change.
