A pattern of thick cyclonic cloud with embedded thunderstorms can be seen over the Northern Territory, southwestern Queensland, northern South Australia and northern New South Wales, due to a deep low pressure system located to the northeast of Alice Springs. Low cloud is present over southeastern New South Wales. Some convective cloud in the Pilbara and Gascoyne is associated with a heat low. Mid level cloud is developing over Victoria ahead of an approaching cold front south of the Bight. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
