Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

Weather Situation
A high pressure system south of the Bight is extending a ridge into western and southern New South Wales, promoting generally fine and stable conditions in these areas. Meanwhile, a low pressure trough situated over the state's northeast is creating unsettled weather, although the situation is expected to improve late today as the trough weakens. During Wednesday the dominant feature will be the strengthening high to the south, which will drift slowly east during the following few days, reaching the western Tasman Sea by Friday.
