No warnings for Tasmania
Forecast issued at 5:00 am EDT on Tuesday 17 October 2017.
Weather Situation
A high centred over the Tasman Sea will slowly move east over the next few days, directing a warmer northerly flow over Tasmania and blocking the approach of any cold fronts until a weakening cold front approaches Tasmania late Wednesday. The front will cross the state during Thursday, with a cooler westerly flow to follow late on Thursday. The westerly flow continues on Friday as the next high pressure system moves over the Bight.
