Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Jun 20/13 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A slow moving low pressure system lies near New Zealand and a high pressure system south of Tasmania extends a ridge northward over New South Wales. A low and upper level cold pool lies south of the Bight and will reach western NSW Friday, weakening the ridge across the state. The cold pool will move slowly east across northern NSW over the weekend with a trough deepening along the coast Saturday before another low develops just offshore on Sunday. At this stage the low is considered most likely to form off the central part of the coast or southern Mid North Coast though the forecast position is uncertain. The low may deepen further Sunday night and Monday and move only slowly to the north.
