Weather Situation

South to southeasterly winds through the weekend as a trough moves up the coast while a high drifts across Tasmania and enters the Tasman Sea during Sunday.

Winds are forecast to shift north on Tuesday ahead of the next cold front, which is expected to bring a southerly change in the evening.
