Forecast issued at 10:00 pm EST on Sunday 5 July 2020.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system centred near Adelaide will slowly push eastwards, reaching the western Victorian border by Monday. The tail end of a weak cold front will clip southern Victoria during early Tuesday, with the high then moving further east to replace the front later on Tuesday. By Wednesday the high will move over the Tasman and become near stationary. A deep trough to the southwest is expected to reach the Bight and develop a low pressure system by Thursday night.
