A ridge of high pressure containing centres to the west of Adelaide and the southwest of Tasmania, combined with an area of low pressure over the Tasman Sea, is directing a cold, southerly flow over the state. This flow will ease today as the ridge slowly moves over the state, with a trough then expected to approach King Island late this evening. This trough will cross Tasmania on Monday, with the high to the south to then become dominant on Tuesday as a low develops near Adelaide, passing well to the north on Wednesday.
