Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Nov 11/14 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A low pressure trough stretches from western Queensland to northeast NSW with isolated thunderstorms expected about the Northern Tablelands again this afternoon. A high pressure system west of Tasmania extends a ridge along the NSW coast and directs a fairly moist southeasterly airstream onto the NSW coast. Drizzle patches along the coast and adjacent ranges will generally clear today as a high pressure system develops east of Bass Strait and winds tend east to northeasterly. This high will move across the Tasman Sea tomorrow as an intensifying cold front and pre-frontal trough approach, reaching southern NSW later Friday. Temperatures will become hot to very hot in the west on Thursday then more generally Friday as northerly winds strengthen in some areas. A significantly cooler, gusty southwest to southerly airflow will follow the front and extend from southern to central districts during Saturday. Some rain is likely over southern districts late Friday and over the weekend though at this stage there is still uncertainty about the quantity.
