Australia Weather

A large high pressure system in the Tasman Sea is driving scattered low level cloud and showers across coastal areas of Queensland and northeastern New South Wales. A strong disturbance in the upper atmosphere moves over Western Australia's southern interior, generating a surface trough and driving a thick blanket of mid to high level cloud over the southern half of the state and across the South Australian border. Thick embedded storm activity can be seen closer to the upper disturbance to the north of Kalgoorlie. A cold front which recently passed over Tasmania is dragging a band of streaky upper level cloud over Victoria, southern New South Wales eastern parts of South Australia. In the wake of this front, some low cloud can be seen forming over Tasmania. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
