Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Apr 30/14 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A weak ridge of high pressure has developed across New South Wales in the wake of yesterday's cold front, promoting generally stable weather conditions today. The presence of this ridge will be short-lived, however, as the next frontal system is rapidly approaching from the Southern Ocean. This system is expected to reach western parts of the state early Friday, with a complex low developing on the front as it continues east through the day. A significant cold outbreak is forecast to accompany this development, with vigorous winds likely to affect many districts through the weekend as the low deepens rapidly over the Tasman Sea. Conditions should ease later on Sunday as another high moves across from the west.
