Current Weather Conditions
A persistent high-pressure system that’s moving slowly over the southern Tasman Sea, combined with weakening minor troughs in the state’s western region, is leading to the occurrence of onshore winds and triggering occasional showers or thunderstorms in certain areas of eastern New South today. In the upcoming days, a fresh trough accompanied by a cold front will progress across the southern and western regions on Wednesday, followed by its movement towards the northeast on Thursday, preceded by warm weather conditions. As this weather system advances, it will bring about unsettled atmospheric conditions. Subsequently, a new high-pressure system shifting over the southeastern part of the continent will usher in stable weather during the latter portion of the week.
Rest of Tuesday’s Weather Outlook
The sky will be partially cloudy. There might be patches of frost in the eastern areas during the morning, along with a possibility of morning fog. There’s a slight chance of a shower in the southern regions, while the likelihood of showers elsewhere remains near zero. Above an altitude of 1900 meters, snow could potentially occur. Winds will start as northwesterly at 15 to 20 km/h, transitioning to westerly around midday and eventually becoming light in the late afternoon.
