A cloudband with widespread mid to high level cloud covers eastern Australia south of the tropics with a line of embedded thunderstorms through western New South Wales and Queensland.. This feature is associated with surface troughs and an upper level disturbance. North Queensland is affected by low level cloud from moist onshore flow. Scattered low to mid level cloud is being driven over southern Western Australia and a cold front can be seen to the southwest. The northwest of the country is mostly cloud free.
