Weather Situation
A high well to the southeast of Tasmania extends a ridge over the state, with the ridge to move to the east tomorrow as a cold front approaches from the west. The front is then expected to weaken near the west coast late tomorrow. A more significant cold front will cross Tasmania on Friday, bringing a cooler southwesterly flow in its wake. A ridge of high pressure will gradually extend over Tasmania later on Saturday.
