Weather for the weekend of 5 - 6 November 2011

Updated 4/11/11

A high lies over Melbourne and is moving slowly east whilst ridging up the east coast. It is expected to be off the central NSW coast by Sunday evening.

The high will dominate the weekend, with winds shifting from easterly through to the north by late Sunday, bringing the chance of some coastal showers.

A mass of high cloud is moving east across the continent and is responsible for the predicted shading of the ground and high level moisture seen on the soundings.


Last week's rain is still dominating the 7 day rainfall figures - Jondaryan had 13mm and Dalby 35mm with heavier falls out to the west. However, by the weekend this will be over 7 days in the past and should not pose a problem, except possibly in lower lying areas where there had been heavier rain.
