Significantly cooler, windy and unsettled conditions behind the front, including snow falling along parts of the ranges. A low pressure system is expected to develop well offshore over the Tasman Sea, and will combine with a high pressure system near the Bight to maintain cool southerly winds near the New South Wales coast. From mid-week, the high will slowly move east and become the dominant feature across New South Wales.
