Weather situation

A ridge extends over the most of the state from a high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea, while a low pressure system lingers over the northern Tasman Sea bringing unsettled conditions to the north coast on Saturday. A cold front and trough is then expected to cross the state from Sunday and may deepen a low over the western inland plains and a trough off the south coast early next week.
