Weather Situation
A high to the south of Tasmania directs an easterly flow over the state. A low off the New South Wales coast will very slowly track southwards as it weakens on Wednesday, while the high moves away to the southeast but continues to extend a ridge south of Tasmania. Another low will develop to the northeast on Thursday and persist over the Tasman Sea on Friday, while further lows and an associated cold front dominate eastern Australia. A weak high drifting into the Bight on Friday will produce a southerly flow over Tasmania.
