Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Jan 22/12 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A broad low pressure trough lies over inland parts of New South Wales while another trough sits over the northern Tasman Sea. The offshore trough is likely to move closer to the coast and amplify on Monday. This will combine with an upper disturbance and strengthening onshore airstream triggering possible local heavy falls for parts of the northern coast and adjacent ranges on Monday. During Sunday and Monday the inland trough will shift west and weaken as a high pressure system moves over the southwestern Tasman Sea extending a ridge along the coast. Another trough is expected to develop over the west of the state on Tuesday and and then to move to the northeast during Wednesday and Thursday as a cold front crosses the southern Tasman Sea.
