A large trough coupled with heat lows over the northwest of the country are helping produce low to mid level cloud over the region. The trough also spans over the interior of the country, producing cloud. A low and associated trough is lingering off the eastern coastline bringing a thick band of cloud along the entire New South Wales coast with embedded thunderstorms offshore. Convective cloud is present over southeast Queensland and southern Sydney. A cloud band ahead of a large cold front blankets western Tasmania. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
