Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Jun 14/14 - 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 developing off the southern New South Wales coast, while an associated trough extends northwards to the Coral Sea. The low is expected to deepen significantly overnight before gradually moving away from the coast later on Sunday. A strengthening high, currently over Western Australia, will drift east in the wake of the trough and low. This will result in most of New South Wales being under the influence of a ridge through the coming week, although cold fronts may affect southern districts during Monday and again on Friday.
