This ridge will promote fine and stable weather in most areas during the first half of the week, although the northeast may remain a little unsettled due to a lingering trough. A strengthening high over the southern Tasman Sea during the second half of the week will lead to an increased likelihood of showers moving onshore, but will block the progress of frontal systems approaching from the Southern Ocean until at least the weekend.
