Australia Weather

A mature cold front south of the Great Bight is dragging down a patchy sheet of mid to upper level cloud over the eastern half of South Australia, with some embedded thunderstorms visible just offshore. Further east, some scraps of mid to upper level cloud can be seen drifting across parts of Victoria and Tasmania In the wake of this front, thick patches of low level cloud brush along the country's southwest coast. Further north, a streaky arm of mid to upper level cloud drifts over central parts of the country's west coast, the result of abundant atmospheric moisture streaming in from the Indian Ocean. An upper trough is generating a line of patchy low to mid level cloud through much of eastern Queensland, tending to thicker upper level cloud over the northeast coast of New South Wales. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
