Weather Situation
A trough over far eastern Victoria will clear the state this evening as a high pressure system moves eastwards over waters south of the Bight. The high will slowly move to the south of Tasmania during Wednesday and Thursday, as a trough deepens over inland Australia, causing a strong easterly stream to develop through Bass Strait from Wednesday evening. On Friday the high will settle to the east of Tasmania, while the deepening trough is likely to extend into western Victoria on Friday morning, then extend across the state during Friday. A low is currently expected to develop on the trough over western Bass Strait Friday evening, then move east of Tasmania on Saturday as the trough also moves to the east of Victoria.
