Australia -- New South Wales Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Dec 12/17 - 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 over the the western Tasman Sea extends a ridge along the New South Wales coast, while a broad, weak trough lies over the inland. The high will move very slowly during the next few days, allowing increasingly hot air to be drawn down from central Australia.
