Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Sep 16/14 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A relatively weak low pressure system over western Victoria extends a trough northwards over eastern NSW. This system will move steadily east today with the trough crossing NSW coastal waters later this afternoon and evening and the low moving through eastern Bass Strait and deepening somewhat during this time. The low is expected to move slowly to the southeast and intensify further during Wednesday while a cold front moves northeast from the Southern Ocean across Tasmania then southeast NSW. Fresh to strong southwest winds are expected for southern and central waters on this day. Another cold front or trough is likely to pass near southeast NSW on Thursday and Friday, and combined with a slow moving high south of Adelaide, is likely to bring fresh to strong southwest to southerly winds to much of the coast, particularly southern and central areas. A southerly swell is also expected to increase late in the week.
