WEATHER UPDATE: WINTRY WESTERLIES

A deep slow moving low is going cause major flooding and strong damaging winds with large destructive seas for eastern Victoria’s Gippsland. The low is going to stall in the Tasman growing to an abnormally large size.

For the broadcast region the forecast is no where near as bad. Cloud will once again gather on the western side of the Divide triggering a few more isolated showers, they will also affect the Upper Hunter on Friday the 14th.

East of the Divide it will be cold with moderate to strong westerly winds but skies will be generally dry and sunny.
The main feature will be the onslaught of a large swell which will linger for almost a solid week casing more coastal erosion. The swell will be larger to the south hitting the Central Coast and Hunter waters.

On the bright side the ski resports will start to see the rain to to snow in the coming week this combined with some very cold temperatures will help to finally get the ski season under way.
