Weather Situation
A high pressure system lies over central Australia, while a vigorous cold front is in the Tasman Sea and is moving eastwards away from Australia. Strong winds between the two systems should continue over NSW coastal waters early today, though winds will ease through the day and into Monday as the high approaches and the front moves further offshore.
