Weather Situation

A high pressure system with its centre currently off the South Coast is moving over the Tasman Sea and extending a ridge along the north coast, resulting in northeast to southeasterly winds along the coast. Over the next few days, winds will be tending northerly and freshening as the high continues to move east. On Friday, a weak southerly change will advance along the southern coast as a cold front slips to the south. The change will continue to move slowly northward, reaching the Hunter Coast on the weekend before weakening as a new high pressure system enters the Tasman Sea.
