Weather situation

A broad high pressure ridge extends across the state while a cold front crossing the eastern areas on Wednesday, with showers and fresh to strong southerly winds along the coast in its wake. Then, generally stable weather patterns will prevail across much of the state through the second half of the week, as a high pressure system drifts across the state's south later in the week before entering the Tasman Sea by the weekend.
