Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Aug 16/14 - 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 over northwest NSW will weaken today as a second, complex low develops off the NSW north coast this morning, then moves south to lie close to the central or southern coast tonight. Rain will clear from the north coast today but is expected to increase further along the southern half of the coast. Over the inland, some rain will persist in the south and shower activity is expected in the north, with a general easing later in the day. The low is likely to move north then northeast during Monday with rain mostly for southern and central parts of the coast and ranges. Strong to gale-force winds are expected to affect the NSW coast from later Sunday through Monday, more likely and stronger for southern and central parts of the coast though uncertainty remains as to the position and strength of the low and hence to the location of associated land gales. The low should move slowly east Tuesday/Wednesday as a ridge develops over western NSW.
