A high centred over the Tasman Sea will maintain a mild to warm north to northeasterly airflow over Tasmania as a weak cold front slowly crosses the state during the day. A weak high pressure system will form to the west, then move south of the state overnight before amalgamating with the high over the Tasman Sea on Tuesday morning, bringing a return to warm northerly winds. Another cold front approaching from the west, is expected to cross Tasmania on Wednesday morning bringing a southwesterly change, although a trough is likely to linger about the northeast.
