A cloud band extends from eastern Queensland to the northern Tasman Sea and is associated with an upper trough.
Areas of low cloud also cover much of New South Wales and southern Queensland are due to a surface low and trough. Much of southern and central WA is cloud free although low cloud is evident about the south coast and about parts of the Eucla district.
