Australia Weather

Tropical Cyclone "Narelle" is in the Gulf of Carpentaria, producing a large cloud mass covering the region with a line of thunderstorms extending into the western part of the Gulf. A smaller slow moving trough south of the North Tropical Coast is drawing additional low to mid 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. A mid level disturbance is generating some mid level cloud with a line of embedded thunderstorms in central New South Wales. Some further low to mid-level cloud lies near southwest Western Australia, associated with a trough. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
