Expect the current weather pattern to continue over the weekend, as a large high dominates the Tasman.
A front approaching from the west will bring with it more heat, with the rise in the mercury set to be focused around the north west of New South Wales.
More sunshine and comfortable temperatures is on the way for the Central Coast, Greater Hunter and Mid North Coast.
Onshore winds will lead to partly cloudy skies and a few isolated showers for the Northern Rivers and the south east corner of Queensland.
