MELBOURNE - Nov 2/12 - 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 south of the Bight is extending a ridge across New South Wales in the wake of a cold front, bringing a cooler southerly airstream to the region today. The high will move to the Tasman Sea during Saturday, maintaining fine conditions in all except the coastal districts. This system is expected to remain slow-moving through the first half of next week, directing warmer northerly winds over New South Wales as a trough approaches from the west.
