Areas of cloud and a few thunderstorms are also present near the Cape York Peninsula. Another low near in the interior of New South Wales is bringing cloud and convective activity though southern and central New South Wales and southern Queensland where some vigorous thunderstorms are active at this time. A low off the eastern coast of Tasmania is generating convective activity offshore of southern New South Wales through a trough. Clusters of thunderstorms are randomly scattered about the tropics and will ease in the next six hours. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free apart from areas of low level cloud along Australia's southern and eastern coasts.
