Much of eastern Queensland is covered in thick patches of mid level cloud, the result of ambient tropical moisture being dragged down from the north by a low pressure trough. Similar cloud and tropical moisture can also be seen over the Kimberley in Western Australia. A trough making its way up the New South Wales coast is generating thick cloud with embedded thunderstorms. A strong high pressure system in the Bight is directing thick low level cloud over the southeast of the country. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
