Weather Situation

A high pressure system to the south of SA will gradually strengthen as it moves eastwards over the next few days, reaching the Tasman Sea by the weekend, maintaining south to southeasterly winds over the coastal waters for much of the period. Meanwhile, a weak coastal trough is located along the New South Wales coast. Winds will tend east to northeasterly by early next week as the high moves further into the Tasman Sea.
