Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Dec 11/12 - 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 east of Tasmania extends a strengthening ridge across the Tasman Sea as it moves slowly east. A low pressure trough over inland New South Wales is being pushed further west due to the movement of the high, and is expected to clear the western border by Wednesday. A second trough, currently off the northern and central coasts, is expected to weaken after crossing the coast later today.
