Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

This pattern is generating gusty winds over southern and central parts of the state, which will intensify to gale-force in some areas today as a stronger cold front approaches. This front will bring a significant cold snap to the region during Friday and Saturday, after which conditions should gradually ease as the next high pressure system becomes established.
