Weather Situation
A fresh and gusty but weakening southwesterly flow across Tasmania will ease further during the evening as a ridge moves towards the state. The ridge will cross Tasmania early Wednesday and a northwesterly stream will develop ahead of an approaching cold front, which will cross the state late on Thursday, followed by another ridge on Friday. A further cold front will generate a strengthening northwesterly flow on Saturday before barrelling across the state later in the day.
Forecast for the rest of Tuesday
Partly cloudy. Winds west to southwesterly 15 to 25 km/h.
