Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Jul 10/14 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system near Tasmania is moving steadily east, with an associated cold front crossing New South Wales. This system is bringing vigorous winds to most of the state today, which should ease overnight as the low moves further away and a high pressure ridge develops extends across from the west. This ridge will be short-lived, however, as another cold front is expected to affect the region during Saturday. Following this, the next high is expect to strengthen on approach and should establish itself as the dominant synoptic feature early in the new week.
