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 off the southern NSW coast, and moving slowly to the north/northeast. This low will bring gale force winds and large waves to southern and central parts of the coast today. 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.
