Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Apr 25/11 - 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 centred near Tasmania extends a ridge across New South Wales, while a weak trough lies just off the coast. The high is moving slowly east and it is expected to be over the southern Tasman Sea by late Monday, where it will remain through the week. This high, in association with a deepening trough to the north of New Zealand, is expected to direct a persistent southeasterly airstream onto the New South Wales coast through to the weekend. This pattern will mostly restrict showers to areas east of the Divide.
