Australia Weather

A complex low pressure system over Tasmania extends a broad area of low pressure over southeastern parts of the continent. Cold air associated with this low pressure system is generating patchy areas of low to mid level cloud over Victoria and southern parts of New South Wales. The same system extends an occluded front over southern Tasmania and brings thick low through high level cloud to the state. A trough over southeastern South Australia drives thick patches of low through high level cloud over the southern coast of the state. Scattered low level cloud is visible about the southern and southwestern coasts of Western Australia as a cool, maritime air mass flows over. Extensive high pressure ridging over the remainder of the country is leading to mostly cloud free conditions elsewhere.
