Weather Situation

A high pressure system over the Bight extends a ridge over the NSW coast, bringing fresh to strong southerly winds. Over the coming days, the ridge will persist as the high moves gradually eastwards and enters the Tasman Sea, with winds turning easterly then northeasterly. Then, a weak southerly change will move along the southern and central parts of the coast on Thursday, before decaying as the ridge reestablishes itself Friday.
