Weather Situation
A high pressure system moves towards the Bight, resulting in a weak ridge over Tasmania. West to southwesterly winds persist overnight, with an embedded front to cross on Tuesday morning. The southwesterly stream strengthens ahead of another front, which crosses the state during Tuesday evening, bringing a colder southwesterly stream in its wake. The flow will tend more southerly on Wednesday morning before easing later as a high moves to the northwest of Tasmania. An area of high pressure will lie to the north of Tasmania on Thursday as winds tend westerly. A cold front approaches the state on Friday morning and crosses during the evening, with a high pressure ridge following behind, resulting in a cool, southerly flow.
