Australia Weather

Broad areas of thick storm clouds cover much of the country's tropical north, due to a low pressure trough and plenty of excess moisture through the region. Patchier mid to upper level cloud is also visible through this area. A thick band of mid to upper level cloud persists over southeastern Queensland and the northeastern corner of New South Wales. A trough extending along the west coast of the country brings a streaky arm of low to mid level cloud to the region. Over the far southwestern corner of the country, this trough deepens into a low pressure system brings a thicker line of cloud and embedded storms. A trough over the border of South Australia and New South Wales is bringing scattered mid level cloud to southern parts of the country's interior A ridge of high pressure to the country's southeast drives moist onshore flow and low level cloud to the southern New South Wales coast, along with much of Tasmania.
