Weather Situation
A front and associated southerly change on the South Coast is expected to weaken a little as it moves north Sunday night and Monday, stalling on the Mid North Coast. A weak low pressure trough and a fairly humid, unstable airmass will persist over northeastern New South Wales tomorrow with isolated showers and thunderstorms likely. A high pressure system will move into the Southern Tasman Sea on Tuesday, directing an east to northeasterly stream over NSW. This in conjunction with an approaching upper level trough will result in some shower activity in the east of the state on that day with isolated thunderstorms possible. A weakening front is expected to move through western and southern parts of the state Wednesday with isolated showers in most districts.
Forecast for the rest of Sunday
Isolated showers and possible thunderstorms in the far northeast. Isolated showers possible on the south coast. Mostly clear elsewhere. Moderate to fresh west to southwest winds inland, gusty on the southern ranges. East to northeasterly winds along the coast before a fresh to strong southerly change in the south.
Forecast for Monday
Isolated showers along the north coast and adjacent ranges with the chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Possible isolated showers or drizzle patches on the south coast. Mostly sunny remainder. Southwest to southeast winds, moderate to fresh near the coast, .
