A strong high pressure system centred over southeast Australia is maintaining a broad deck of low level cloud over much of the country's southeast. A weak cold front passing through Western Australia is generating thin bands of high level cloud over South Australia and pulling low level cloud inshore in its wake. A field of thick low level cloud sits over northeastern Queensland due to a high pressure ridge present along the coast. Mid to high level cloud is drifting over Tasmania as an upper trough remains west of the state. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
