Weather Situation
A cold front to the west of Tasmania will slowly move over the state today, while the associated low near King Island moves over Victoria during the afternoon. Winds will become light over Tasmania before a southwesterly change develops during the afternoon and evening, strong and gusty about the far northwest. A weak ridge of high pressure will follow, followed by a westerly stream with an embedded front to cross Tuesday morning. The stream will strengthen ahead of a another front to cross, bearing a colder southwesterly stream in its wake late Tuesday. The flow will tend more southerly 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.
