Weather Situation

A high pressure system over South Australia is extending a ridge across New South Wales, while a low off the South Coast continues to track further offshore, maintaining southerly winds over the coastal waters. A trough is then forecast to brush the coast midweek, followed by another high pressure system drifting across Tasmania, directing onshore southeasterly airstream through the second half of the week.
