Snowy Mountains Forecast

Issued: Wed Feb 19
A low pressure trough currently over northeastern New South Wales will move further towards the northeast today, accompanied by unsettled conditions. As this trough moves offshore, a low is expected to deepen over the southern Tasman Sea during the next day or two, while a high pressure system extends into the state's west. The high is expected to become the dominant feature in the region during the weekend as it drifts slowly east, extending a ridge along the New South Wales coast.
