MELBOURNE - Apr 30/12 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.
Weather Situation A high pressure system over the central Tasman Sea is drifting slowly east, maintaining a ridge to the northern New South Wales coast. A low pressure trough and associated cold front will approach the southwest of the state late today before moving east during Wednesday and Thursday, bringing rain and a southerly change to most districts.
