MELBOURNE - Apr 20/18 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of New South Wales was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.
Weather Situation A weakening trough lies over western New South Wales and another just off the northern coast, while a high near Tasmania extends a ridge into the state's southeast.
