The trough is expected to cross the state during this afternoon and evening, with associated cold front to cross the south of Tasmania late. On Wednesday a high pressure system south of the Bight is forecast to extend a ridge over the state, with the high centre to cross Tasmania on Thursday and linger over the Tasman Sea into Friday as another high centre builds over the Bight.
