The monsoon trough has returned to the northwest of the country, embedded in which is a developing tropical low to the far northwest of the Pilbara WA. A surface trough across inland QLD and into eastern NSW has associated convective development along the east coast. A low is present in the Coral Sea with convective cloud bands. A cold front crossing Tasmania with a low to its south is bringing significant cloud, and onshore flow in the Bight is pushing low level cloud over SA, WA and VIC. The remainder of the country is mostly clear due to a ridge of high pressure over the Great Australian Bight.
