Weather situation

A trough and associated strong cold front are crossing the north of the state during early today, and has brought a significant cold change across the state in its wake. A vigorous coastal low is forecast to form off the south coast early today, whipping up very strong southerly winds and powerful waves along the southern half of the coast, before heading into the Tasman Sea during the weekend.
