Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Dec 26/14 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A trough moving over northeast New South Wales is expected to remain stalled near the Queensland border today, while a weak high pressure ridge extends across southern and central districts. Warm and humid air feeding into the trough, assisted by the presence of an upper-level system, is expected to bring rain to the northeast during Saturday and Sunday, and may produce some heavy falls. This pattern is likely to linger through much of the weekend, before weakening and moving away to the east later on Sunday or Monday. Meanwhile, southern and central areas should remain mostly fine, although the approach of another trough may result in the odd shower or storm during Sunday and Monday.
