Weather Situation
A low pressure system over the Tasman Sea, combined with high pressure systems south of Adelaide and south of Tasmania, are directing a cold, southerly flow over the state. This flow will ease tomorrow as the ridge slowly moves over the state, while a low to the southwest extends a trough just west of Tasmania Sunday night. This trough will then 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.
