Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Nov 18/11 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A trough over northeast New South Wales is weakening as a high pressure system centred above the Tasman Sea gradually extends a ridge across the state. The presence of this high will promote fine and hot conditions across the region during Saturday, although a trough approaching from the southwest may bring some unsettled weather to areas near the Victorian border late in the day. This trough, and an associated cold front, will continue to the state's northeast during Sunday before stalling. It's passage will be marked by showers and possible storm activity, likely continuing across the north during Monday. Unsettled weather is expected to continue through much of next week, with another frontal system forecast to affect New South Wales during Tuesday and Wednesday.
