Weather situation

A high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea is slowly drifting towards New Zealand while extending a ridge across the state, promoting a stable weather pattern. A weak trough in the Tasman Sea could drift towards the far northern New South Wales Coast during Friday, leading to increased moisture and shower activity. Otherwise, little change is expected in coming days.
