Weather Situation
As a cold front continues to move away from Tasmania, a high over the Bight will track eastwards and extend a ridge over southern parts of the state later in the day. The high will move to the east early Monday while a cold front approaches from the west. A prefrontal trough will develop over Tasmania during the afternoon, followed by the passage of the front overnight. A westerly stream will follow on Tuesday and freshen on Wednesday as another front crosses, bringing a cooler southwesterly stream in its wake.
