Weather Situation

A weakening ridge of high pressure over the northern coast directs an east to northeasterly flow, while a slow moving trough sits over central parts of the coast. Winds over the southern and central coastal waters will continue fresh south to southeasterly during Sunday, before weakening and gradually turning east to northeasterly early next week as a high pressure system slips south and extends a ridge over the coastal waters early next week. Meanwhile, a low pressure system will deepen off the Gold Coast on Sunday, and drive a fresh southeasterly flow to the northern coast through early next week.
