Weather Situation

A high [1030 hPa] centred near New Zealand extends a weak ridge of high pressure over the northern waters. The ridge continues to weaken as the high moves away to the east and a trough moves east across state. The trough and associated southerly wind change will move across waters south of Cairns today.
