Waiting it out
Hello Friends,
Nup. Not happening. It’s still the same as it’s been for the last few days. Which is to say that there were gloomy skies to start along with 15-20 kts of southerly wind and 1.3m of 5-second easterly wind bump. Last night Sydney water issued a warning of partially treated discharge from Warriewood, so with the forecast calling for significant rainfall over the next three days, there’s no hope of an improvement to water quality.
The Goat dropped his latest forecast last night and it’s, shall we say, springesque…
Stay well, stay dry and have a safe Thursday everyone.
Weather Situation
A trough connected to a low pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea continues to extend a southerly change north along the New South Wales coast. This change will weaken during Thursday as another low deepens inland. This inland low looks set to bring a strong westerly change across the region as it tracks offshore late on Friday and into the weekend.
Forecast for Thursday until midnight
