Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Aug 23/13 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A ridge of high pressure lies over Queensland while a series of cold fronts from the Southern Ocean pass across New South Wales. These fronts are bringing windy conditions across the south, although precipitation is generally limited to parts of the southern inland. The last of these fronts will cross today, after which the ridge will shift southwards to promote generally fine weather through the region during the weekend. Early in the new week this ridge appears likely to decay, allowing the intrusion of further frontal systems.
