Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Dec 5/12 - 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 extends a ridge into western New South Wales, directing a dry southwesterly airstream across the state. This high will remain the dominant synoptic feature in the region as it drifts eastwards over the next few days, promoting fine weather in most districts. By Friday it is expected to be over the Tasman Sea, bringing warmer northerly winds across the state. The next trough is forecast to cross during the weekend, although it appears likely that there will not be sufficient moisture in the air for it to generate significant rain.

Fresh southwest to southeasterly winds, easing.Thursday 6 DecemberThe chance of showers in the far northeast, otherwise fine. Partly cloudy along the coast, sunny inland.
