A significant region of middle and high level cloud covers most of central and southern Western Australia propagating east through central Australia to the coast near the Queensland and New South Wales border. A low sits over the Geraldton district in Western Australia with a trough extending through the Gascoyne and Pilbara regions into central Northern Territory. There is convective activity associated with this trough. A trough extends from the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, through central Queensland and into the Coral Sea. There is thunderstorm activity associated with this trough. A trough is located through Victoria and up into southeastern New South Wales.
