Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Jun 27/12 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A deepening low pressure trough lies off the NSW north coast/southern Queensland coast while a strong high lies just east of the NSW south coast. The high will move slowly east across the central Tasman Sea over the next couple of days while a relatively weak low develops off the southern Queensland coast then moves only slowly east. During Friday and Saturday a cold front will cross much of NSW as an associated low pressure system south of the Bight moves east to Tasmania.
