MELBOURNE - May 9/12 - 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 centred over inland New South Wales extends a weak ridge towards the coast. This ridge is expected to be the dominant synoptic feature over the next couple of days, keeping cold fronts to the south and directing relatively warm air across much of the state.
