Australia Weather

Ex-Tropical Cyclone "Narelle" continues to move westward over the Top End, bringing plenty of thick cloud cover to the area. A trough extends out of this system, bring streaks of mid to upper level cloud to northern parts of the Kimberley region and Cape York Peninsula. Thick patches of low to mid level cloud are resulting from onshore flow across much of the Queensland coast, as well as northeastern parts of New South Wales. This cloud is thickest and carries embedded storm activity about northeast New South Wales, where a small trough has lingers along the coastal fringe. A heat low brings isolated storm clouds to the Pilbara region in Western Australia, and an associated trough running south through much of the state generates patchy mid level cloud nearby. Much of the continent's interior is covered in fields of isolated low level cloud, the result of widespread daytime heating and an unstable atmosphere. Upper level cloud can be seen drifting over eastern parts of Tasmania and Victoria, well ahead of an approaching cold front in the Southern Ocean. A blanket of low level cloud is also visible over the coastal regions of this A blanket of low level cloud persists over the far southwest of the country. Central parts of Western Australia and Queensland, along with the border between New South Wales and South Australia, are mostly cloud free.
