Australia Weather

Tropical Cyclone "Narelle" has entered the Gulf of Carpentaria, producing a large cloud mass covering the region with a line of thunderstorms extending into the southern part of the Gulf. A smaller slow moving trough south of the North Tropical Coast is drawing additional high level cloud into the area. Low cloud extends along the east and south coast of the country due to onshore airstreams driven by high pressure systems east and west of Tasmania. There are some isolated patches of lingering low level cloud, about a trough through inland Queensland and New South Wales. Some further mid-level cloud lies near southwest Western Australia, associated with a trough. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
