A cloud band extends from the northwest of Queensland to the southeast of the state and then out into the Coral Sea. This cloud is caused by an upper level trough. A trough over the southwest of WA has produced isolated thunderstorms in the area.

Onshore easterly winds are bringing showers to parts of the east coast of Australia. A cold front is crossing Tasmania and extends a trough into the southeast parts of of SA.

Very isolated diurnal convective cells can be seen over much of the remainder of the continent.
