QLD: A strong ridge will stick around most of the state for a few days due to a high pressure system moving east across southern Australia. This will cause strong winds and rough seas along the east coast of Queensland. These conditions will gradually ease over the next week.
NSW and ACT: A strong high pressure system over the Bight is spreading a ridge over NSW. The high will shift east over the weekend, reaching the Tasman Sea by Sunday. It will then move further east next week, keeping the ridge over NSW until a mild cold front comes from the southwest.
VIC: A strong high pressure system will move across Victoria on Friday, then stall over the Tasman Sea on the weekend. A weak trough will pass to the south on Monday as a new high pressure system approaches from the west.
SA: A strong high pressure system is moving across the southeast, bringing calm weather for a few days. Another high pressure system will move in from the west on Sunday, keeping conditions clear and settled until Monday.
WA: A raised area of land in the south will keep winds coming from the east in the northern regions.
TAS: A strong high pressure system will be over Victoria until Saturday, bringing light westerly winds to Tasmania. The high will then move over the Tasman Sea on Sunday.
