Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Feb 14/15 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A strong high centred near New Zealand extends a ridge towards northeast New South Wales, while a weak trough lies over the state's south.
