WARNINGS: !!warnings!!
A ridge of high pressure lies over the region and although a moist southeasterly
flow may push some cloud over the eastern slopes, the Snowy Mountains should
have some fine weather today. On Sunday a weak front will pass to the south,
bringing the possibility of some isolated showers or snow showers to higher
elevations. By the start of the new week another ridge of high pressure should
bring a return to fine conditions.
