Snowy Mountains Forecast

Issued: Sat Sep 21
A strong and slow-moving high pressure system near New Zealand extends a ridge towards New South Wales, while a cold front approaches from the southwest. This front is expected to slowly move through to central parts today before stalling over the northeast on Sunday. Early next week the high is forecast to weaken as a second high approaches from the west, pushing the remnants of the front offshore.
