Weather situation

A low over the Tasman Sea (southeast of Lord Howe Island) will continue to move southeast towards New Zealand today. Meanwhile, a trough and associated strong cold front are expected to cross the state during today and early Friday, bringing a significant cold change across the state in its wake. A vigorous coastal low is forecast to form off the south coast during Friday, 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.
