Onshore easterly winds are resulting in patchy low cloud near east tropical coast of Queensland. A cloud band associated with a cold front and trough is bringing rain to northeastern New South Wales and the interior of Queensland. A combination of heat lows and troughs is producing isolated showers across northwestern Australia. The high pressure system over the Bight is bringing areas of low cloud to parts of the continent's south coast and western Tasmania, while keeping the rest of the country mostly clear.
