Weather Situation
A high over the Bight extends a ridge over Tasmania which will slowly track northwards to lie over Bass Strait on Tuesday, while a weak front passes to the south. On Wednesday the ridge will move over Victoria while a cold front approaches Tasmania from the west, and crosses the state in the evening. Strong westerly winds will continue throughout the outlook period as another more significant cold front crosses overnight on Thursday.
