This cloud is associated with an active monsoon trough across the interior of the continent. Clouds associated with onshore tradewinds persist along the eastern seaboard north of Cape Byron to the monsoonal cloud near Cairns, A large low pressure area and associated surface trough extends from central WA into SA, western NSW and VIC connects with a low south of TAS, producing a band of cloud with embedded thunderstorms throughout most of southeastern Australia. Moist onshore flow is generating low cloud over the coastal fringe of the Great Australian Bight to the southwest tip of WA.
