Weather Situation
A weak high pressure ridge lies over northern New South Wales. Very dry cold air is following a front that passed through the state yesterday. A second cold front and upper cold pool will move through most of the state later today and Wednesday, particularly affecting southern parts, with snow to quite low levels and possible thunder or small hail. A high in the Bight will follow the front, while a low will develop over the southern Tasman Sea from Tuesday through to Friday.
