Snowy Mountains Forecast

Issued: Sat Dec 14
A trough of low pressure extends from Queensland into western New South Wales, with another trough moving off the far north coast. Meanwhile, a high pressure system over the Bight extends a ridge across the state's south to the Tasman Sea. No significant changes in this pattern are expected during the next couple of days. A fairly weak cold front looks set to affect southeastern parts of the state on Monday, after which a high should move to the Tasman Sea. This is forecast to result in increasingly warm air being drawn down from central and northern Australia through the middle of next week.
