Weather situation

A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea is maintaining moist easterly airstream while a tropical low over Coral Sea is deepening and heading south towards the northern Tasman Sea. A new trough is expected to enter the state's south today, and this trough will be reinforced by a strong cold front crossing the state on Thursday through early Friday, with a significant cold change across the entire state in its wake. Then, a coastal low is forecast to form off the south coast on Friday, whipping vigorous southerly winds and powerful waves along the coast before heading into the Tasman Sea during the weekend.
