Weather Situation

A weakening cold front in the south west is expected to skim across the south on Tuesday night. This front is forecast to clear eastwards early Wednesday before a ridge of high pressure develops from the west. This ridge is expected to persist until Friday before it is eroded by a weak trough developing off the east coast. This trough is forecast to weaken on Saturday before a cold front approaches the west coast in the late evening.
