Extensive cloud band from Queensland east coast to eastern NSW and adjacent Tasman Sea is associated with a low pressure trough extending from tropical cyclone Owen through eastern parts of Queensland to a low centred over western New South Wales. Extensive area of cloud also covers Victoria, Tasmania and southeastern parts of South Australia associated with this low pressure system.
