Weather situation

A cold front and trough are forecast to move across the state today into early Thursday, bringing windy and showery conditions. Then, a high pressure system moving over South Australia extends a ridge over much of the state bringing dry and benign conditions later in the week. As the high drifts towards Tasmania over the weekend, coastal showers are forecast to develop as the ridge directs winds onshore.
