Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Jul 9/13 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system centred over Victoria currently extends a ridge across New South Wales, while directing southerly winds and showers along much of the coast. High cloud is increasing over the state's west, and on Wednesday a weak trough extending from Queensland into northwest New South Wales will combine with an upper level feature to produce some patchy rain across the northern inland. During this time, the high centre is forecast to shift from southeast Australia to the Tasman Sea, promoting generally fine weather across the south, restricting coastal showers areas in the north. Towards the end of the week, a low pressure trough approaching from the west may bring some unsettled conditions to the southern inland, but is more likely to affect a broader area as it progresses eastwards through the weekend.
