Snowy Mountains Forecast

Issued: Sat Dec 15
A complex low pressure system lies over inland New South Wales, while a ridge is strengthening over the southern Tasman Sea. This pattern is bringing humid air from the tropics into eastern New South Wales, leading to stormy and unsettled conditions in many areas. During Sunday the low is expected to move southeast over Tasmania, with an associated trough crossing southeast New South Wales. This trough is likely to linger for the following day or two, extending back towards the state's northwest, while a high over the Tasman Sea maintains a ridge towards the northern coast.
