Weather Situation
A cold front over northeast New South Wales will move to the Tasman Sea
tonight, with cooler westerly winds in its wake. Meanwhile a complex low
pressure system to the south is intensifying near Bass Strait, before moving
towards the southeast during the weekend. This low will direct more cold air
across the state during Saturday with some showers persisting about the
southern inland, assisted by the presence of an upper-level trough. As the low
moves further away from the region on Sunday, a high pressure system in the
Bight will gradually extend a ridge over New South Wales, promoting fine
conditions in all but the coastal parts. The high should strengthen and move
slowly east during the early part of the new week, being the major influence on
the weather over New South Wales.

Forecast for the rest of Friday 25 May
Cloudy. Scattered showers and the chance of thunder. Showers falling as snow
above 1000 metres.
