Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Oct 23/14 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the central Tasman Sea extends a ridge towards the Queensland coast, while a broad trough of low pressure lies across southern and western New South Wales. There will be only subtle changes to this pattern over the next day or two, before the trough becomes more mobile on the weekend and shifts to the northeast under the influence of a Southern Ocean front. During this time many eastern districts are likely to see unsettled weather, while the west remains in the grip of a persistent hot airmass. Another trough and associated cold front appear likely to affect the state early in the new week, bringing somewhat cooler conditions, especially in the south.
Forecast for the rest of ThursdayThe chance of showers and thunderstorms in the eastern half of the state, chiefly about the ranges, with only a slight chance of reaching coastal areas. Hot, dry, and partly cloudy in the west. West to northwesterly winds inland, and northeast to southeasterly winds near the coast.Friday 24 OctoberThe chance of showers and thunderstorm about the coast and ranges, becoming more likely on the tablelands during the afternoon.
