A pattern of thick cyclonic cloud with embedded thunderstorms can be seen over the Northern Territory and spreading out over tropical parts of Queensland and Western Australia, due to a deep low pressure system located to the northeast of Alice Springs. A surface trough extending into a cold front is moving through central New South Wales, bringing a thick cloud across much of the state. Patches of speckled low cloud are being pushed onshore along the South Australia coast as cool air moves through the Bight. Some convective cloud in the Pilbara is associated with a heat low. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
