Australia Weather

A thick band of upper level cloud crosses the border of Western and South Australia, the result of a cold front. A wispier arm of mid level cloud extends out of this cold front over the interior of Western Australia. Ahead of this front, plenty of atmospheric moisture is being dragged over the country's south, obscuring much of South Australia along with the western half of Victoria and New South Wales in a thick sheet of mid to upper level cloud. A rain band with widespread mid to high level cloud passes over much of Tasmania, the result of a trough which recently moved through the country's southeast. Abundant moisture through the interior of the country brings sheets of patchy low level cloud to much of the Northern Territory, as well as the ranges through much of Queensland and New South Wales. Queensland's north tropical coast is seeing some patches of low cloud due to moist onshore flow from the Coral Sea. The southwestern corner of the country is covered in a field of patchy low level cloud, the result of a cold moist airmass approaching from the Southern Ocean.
