A cold front over South Australia will continue to move into the far northeast on Saturday followed by a ridge well to the south delivering fresh south to southeasterly flow across the State. An upper-level trough will be responsible for a band of rain stretching across the State on Saturday and then the development of a low pressure system south of the Bight during Sunday and Monday. The low pressure system and associated trough over the State will eventually move off to the east mid-week.
