Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Jan 7/15 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge towards the New South Wales north coast, directing warm and humid tropical air into a broad but fairly weak trough over the state's west. The inland trough is expected to weaken further before another trough moves into the west later Thursday and Friday. This next system will interact with moisture linked to a tropical low over northwest Western Australia later in the week generating a rain band initially over South Australia before entering the far west of NSW on Saturday. This second trough will again be slow-moving and may linger over the region through the weekend.
