Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

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

Weather Situation
A trough and associated southerly change will stall and weaken over northeast New South Wales today. A tropical low over Queensland is forecast to move toward the Tasman Sea during the next day or two, and will bring some rain to the northern border districts. Meanwhile, a cold front approaching from the Southern Ocean is expected to affect New South Wales during Friday and Saturday. This front will bring cooler southwesterly winds across the region, but negligible rainfall due to the dryness of the incoming air mass. Following this, a high pressure ridge will extend across the state during the weekend, maintaining mostly fine, although cool, weather throughout.
