Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Nov 9/11 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge to the New South Wales north coast, while a broad trough of low pressure approaches the state's west. Between these two systems, a warm and humid air mass is moving over the region, leading to a continuation of unsettled conditions in many districts today. The trough will reach western New South Wales this evening as it links with a cold front passing to the south. During Thursday the system is expected to weaken as it moves to the northeast, with an influx of cooler air bringing a return to dry conditions over most of the inland. A trough is expected to linger over the northern inland on Friday. By Saturday a new high is forecast to be above the Tasman Sea, and showers will mostly be restricted to areas east of the Divide.
