Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Mar 28/17 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A low pressure system lies over central eastern Queensland and is gradually moving south-southeast, while high pressure system over the Tasman Sea helps drag humid tropical air to northeastern New South Wales. At the same time a cold front south of The Bight is approaching New South Wales. During Thursday, the cold front will bring a vigorous southerly change to southern and western districts, extending to the northeast on Friday. The interaction between this front and the humid airmass from the north is forecast to generate widespread rain across eastern districts on Thursday, with moderate to heavy falls likely. Heavy rain is most favourable in the northeast, assisted as the low approaches the far northeast of New South Wales later Thursday or Friday. Conditions are expected to ease later Friday as the front and low move away to the east, although a new high developing south of the Bight will bring follow-up showers to eastern areas.

Fine day throughout, apart from the chance of a shower or thunderstorm about the central and northern ranges, and late rain in the far north. Hot in the northwest.
