Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Jan 30/11 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the central Tasman Sea will move slowly east during the next day or two before stalling near New Zealand later in the week. A ridge from this high extends to the northern New South Wales coast, while a weak trough lies over the state's west. Temperatures and humidity levels are once again expected to rise across most districts during the early part of the week, as generally northerly winds become dominant. It is likely that by mid week this pattern will result in precipitation over a large part of the state, assisted by moisture drawn down from the remains of cyclone activity to the north.
