Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Apr 11/14 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A low pressure system is currently developing off the southern NSW coast near the Victorian border, with an associated trough leaning back through northeastern parts of the state. The low is forecast to deepen and move slowly to the north/northeast tonight and Saturday, bringing gale force winds and large waves to the southern coast late today, extending to central part of the coast during Saturday. The system is expected to move slowly east/southeast away from the coast later Saturday and Sunday as a high pressure ridge builds across the region. A strengthening high south of Tasmania early in the new week is likely to maintain a ridge across NSW for several days, with the resulting southeasterly airstream bringing showers to the coast and eastern ranges.
