Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Sep 28/11 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A vigorous cold front which entered western New South Wales late Wednesday is currently moving across eastern districts, carrying wet and windy conditions. This front will move away across the Tasman Sea later today, although the presence of an upper level trough will assist in generating showers over parts of the southern inland. A weaker front is expected to cross the state late Friday or Saturday, before a low pressure system deepens over the western Tasman Sea during the weekend. This low is forecast to direct onshore winds and showers across eastern New South Wales, while a ridge of high pressure brings a return to fine conditions in western parts.
