Weather Situation
A low pressure system off the east coast of Tasmania is directing a west to southwesterly airstream across Victorian coastal waters. The low will move away to the east today as a high pressure system moves over the Bight. The high will move over eastern South Australia by Tuesday night, extending a ridge south across western Victoria as a series of cold fronts approach the Bight. Northwesterly winds will freshen on Wednesday as the first front approaches Bass Strait, before sliding away to the southeast early Thursday ahead of a stronger front which will cross Victoria on Thursday night. A moderate to fresh westerly airstream will then continue on Friday.
