Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Nov 21/11 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A high is centred to the north of New Zealand, and another near Western Australia. A broad trough between these systems will remain over central and northern New South Wales for the next few days, with rainfall expected to increase in many areas during Tuesday as an upper-level feature approaches. The high to the west is forecast to strengthen and move slowly east during the second half of the week, bringing a cooler air mass across the state while pushing the trough towards the north. The precise position of the trough later in the week is currently uncertain, but it likely to impact on the distribution of rainfall at this time.
