Whilst today has been a rather cloudy day so far for much of southern Victoria, high pressure is set to work it's magic and bring sunshine in time for the weekend. A weak cold front moved through southern Victoria and Tasmania this morning, only bringing a sprinkling of rain across the Central and Gippsland regions. For what the front lacked in rainfall, it more than made up for in cloud. Meanwhile, a building region of high pressure in the Bight has helped to trap the cloud and moisture brought along by the front. Typically, high pressure is associated with clear skies, but when fronts move close-by, they bring along extra moisture which can get trapped under what meteorologists call a 'temperature inversion'. In this case the inversion essentially acts like a lid of a saucepan, which keeps the air in the bottom part of the atmosphere (where most of us live) separated from the rest of the atmosphere above. If high pressure persists, eventually the drier air above the inversion interacts with the top of the cloud layer, eating it away from the top. And this is exactly what we expect to see over the next 24 hours for southern Victoria. As such, sunny skies are expected from late on Thursday morning stretching right through to the weekend, enabling temperatures to reach into the high twenties by Saturday.
