A series of low pressure systems and associated troughs are generating areas of thick cloud with embedded thunderstorms across the north of Australia. Broad areas of patchy low level cloud are visible across Tasmania in the wake of a weak cold front moving through the Tasman Sea. A thick band of low to high level cloud is present over southeastern Western Australia as an upper cold pool resides over the region. A high pressure system in the Southern Ocean is directing patchy low level cloud onto the southern coast of Western Australia, South Australia, and Victoria. A trough moving up the east coast is bringing patchy low to mid level cloud to northeast New South Wales and inland Queensland. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
