Weather Situation
An area of high pressure over the Tasman Sea, paired with a large and near stationary low pressure system south of the Bight, direct a moist northeasterly stream over Tasmania tonight and on Friday. A trough is crossing the state this evening and weakening. The flow will tend easterly on Saturday as a low pressure system develops near the New South Wales coast. The low is likely to move closer to the northeast of Tasmania on Sunday. The low is then expected to move away to the south during Monday.
