Patches of low to mid level cloud linger around northern Australia around a nearby trough, with thick cloud and embedded thunderstorms near a low in the Top End. A thick band of mid level cloud flows over the southern parts of Western Australia, with embedded thunderstorms driven by an upper trough. A developing cold front approaching Tasmania is bringing a thick deck of mid level cloud to the south Australian coast and over Tasmania, bringing showers and rain to Tasmania. A high pressure system in the Southern Ocean is directing patchy low level cloud onto the southern coast of Western Australia. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
