Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Apr 2/14 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A high off the New South Wales coast extends a weak ridge into central parts of the state, while a weakening trough situated over the northern inland will contract over the Queensland border tonight. A second low pressure trough currently situated in the southwest of the state will continue to central parts during Thursday as the ridge decays, before stalling on Friday. This is expected to bring unsettled conditions to most western and southern districts, particularly in the southeast on Friday as a low develops off the South Coast. The system appears likely to become mobile again later on the weekend under the influence of a passing upper-level feature, shifting to the Tasman Sea as a new ridge strengthens over the area.
