MELBOURNE - Oct 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 cold front will move along the coast during Friday, with a few associated showers east of the Divide.

This should maintain fine conditions in most districts through the weekend, with temperatures forecast to increase before another southerly change on Monday. This next change is likely to be fairly short-lived, with a return to warmer northerly winds by mid-week as a high over the Tasman Sea once again becomes dominant.

Possible early snow showers above 1400 metres on the Alps. Fine and sunny elsewhere. Early fog patches in the east, and local frost patches on the tablelands. Mostly south to southeasterly winds, tending light and variable in the far west.Saturday 18 OctoberShowers along the northern coast and adjacent ranges, contracting to areas near the Queensland border by evening.
