Weather Situation
A cold front associated with a complex low pressure system to the southwest will move southeast of the State this evening, with a trough to follow on Wednesday as the low traverses Tasmania to the southern Tasman Sea. A strong upper trough and associated deep, cold airmass will approach Victoria and S.A. on Thursday, developing another complex low offshore southwest of Victoria. The upper trough and cold airmass will move across Victoria on Friday as the main low centre deepens over eastern Bass Strait, then slowly moves eastwards to the Tasman Sea on Saturday. A ridge of high pressure will extend across western Bight waters from a high well to the south on Friday, with the ridge approaching western Victoria later Saturday.
