Weather Situation

A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge over the northern part of the coast, bringing northeasterly winds, while a weak southerly change is moving along central parts of the coast. The ridge will maintain northeasterly winds along the northern part of the coast into the weekend, while winds will tend easterly along central and southern parts of the coast today and Saturday as an inland trough widens to the central and southern coasts. Winds will tend northeasterly again from Sunday as the trough moves east, while another southerly change will cross southern and central parts of the coast early next week.
