Weather Situation

A high pressure ridge lies across the south coast of New South Wales while a slow-moving trough lies in north where it is expected to remain on Wednesday. Starting Thursday morning a trough is likely to bring a southerly change as it travels up the coast, shifting winds southeast in its wake. The change may potentially stall about the central coast during Thursday afternoon. After this another high pressure ridge is expected to establish along the coast bringing calm conditions. The next change is expected over the weekend or early next week.
