Aurora watch

Weather situation

A slow-moving high pressure system in the Tasman Sea combines with a weak coastal trough to direct a humid and unstable airmass over New South Wales. Unsettled weather will likely broaden over the state on Saturday as an inland trough extends from Queensland into western New South Wales, then weakens on Sunday. A weak ridge of high pressure is set to dominate early next week, with a trough and cold front possibly affecting far southern New South Wales towards mid-week.
