WARNINGS: !!warnings!!
A low pressure system over southern Tasman Sea in combination with a high
pressure system over the western Bight will direct a fresh and gusty
southwesterly air stream over the region generating isolated showers, falling as
snow above 1500 metres today. As the low moves east on Sunday the winds will
moderate and the isolated shower activity will clear during the morning. Mostly
fine weather is expected for the beginning of the new week as a ridge of high
pressure develops across southeast of the continent.
