Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Aug 1/13 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A weak ridge of high pressure extends across New South Wales, while a low over the Coral Sea moves slowly southeast. The high's presence will continue to weaken during Friday as a series of cold fronts approach from the west. The first front is expected to cross the state later Friday and Saturday, bringing wet and windy weather to parts of the southern inland although no significant rainfall totals are likely. The redevelopment of a ridge across the state's north during Sunday will restrict the movement of subsequent fronts, with the impacts generally being limited to areas south of the border.
