An upper level disturbance is generating some mid to upper level cloud with embedded thunderstorms over the centre of the continent. A dominant high pressure system sitting in the Great Australian Bight is directing scattered low level cloud over the southeastern parts of the continent and Tasmania, reaching as far as northern New South Wales and central South Australia. Southeasterly trade winds are bringing some scattered low level cloud onto the North Tropical Coast of Queensland. Areas of patchy low level cloud can be seen over the southern half of Western Australia. Upper level cloud ahead of an approaching front are passing over southwestern Western Australia. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
