Weather situation

A high pressure system centred near the Bight will drift across southeast Australia over the coming days, bringing dry and stable conditions to much of the state. A low pressure system lingering over the Tasman Sea for the remainder of the week will continue to bring coastal showers and whipping up fresh to strong and gusty southerly winds and large, powerful waves along much of the coastline. A cold front is then expected to approach southern parts of state later in the weekend or early next week.
