Snowy Mountains Forecast

Issued: Mon Dec 10
A slow-moving high pressure system centred over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge to the far north coast of New South Wales. At the same time, a trough over southwestern New South Wales is gradually moving east. These two systems have been drawing hot air from central Australia across the far west and southern inland of New South Wales. Shower and storm activity will be generated as the trough moves through the state during the first half of this week. Another trough is expected to enter the west during the second half of the week, bringing increased shower and storm activity.
