Weather Situation

A high pressure system over the Bight is extending a ridge along the NSW coast while a deep low pressure system lies over the Southern Tasman, bringing fresh to strong southwesterly winds to the coast. The low contracts away to the east and the ridge will persist, winds turning south to southwesterly and gradually decreasing through the week. Then, winds become easterly as the high slowly moves eastwards, entering the Tasman Sea during the weekend.
