Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Feb 3/13 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A low pressure system over western parts of the Tasman Sea is slowly moving to the southeast as a high pressure centre in the Bight extends a ridge across New South Wales. The combination of these two systems is producing cool southerly winds across New South Wales and showers over coastal districts. As the low moves further away tonight the wind over New South Wales will turn southeasterly and temperatures will gradually rise. The high pressure ridge will extend along the coast on Monday before the high pressure centre moves to the east of Tasmania on Tuesday. Coastal showers are expected to continue for the next few days with an onshore southeast to northeast airstream.
