Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Aug 20/17 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A high pressure system is situated off the New South Wales coast while a trough approaches from the west. This trough will weaken as it crosses the state later today and Tuesday, with the region's airmass remaining too dry to generate much rain. A subtle ridge of high pressure will develop in it's wake, before a cold front skims across southern parts of the state late Wednesday and Thursday. Behind this, another ridge looks set to extend across from the west at the end of the week.
