No warnings for Victoria
Forecast issued at 4:21 pm EDT on Friday 7 March 2014.
Weather Situation
A low pressure trough will linger over northeastern Victoria during tonight and Saturday. A high pressure system over Bight waters extends a ridge across Tasmania to a smaller high centre over the southern Tasman Sea. The main high will drift eastwards passing over Tasmania tonight to join with the Tasman Sea high centre on Saturday. The resulting large high pressure system will then consolidate over the central Tasman Sea on Sunday and Monday, moving over New Zealand later on Tuesday. A weak cold front will approach western Victoria late on Monday and will slip to the south but a weak trough will enter western Victoria on Monday afternoon and weaken. A stronger cold front will enter western Victoria on Tuesday afternoon, moving to the east at night.
