This cloud is associated with an inland trough over WA. A few diurnal thunderstorms can also be seen near the tropical north coast of Queensland. Areas of cloud wrapping around a deep low pressure system in the Tasman Sea cover parts of Tasmania, eastern Victoria and the far southeast of New South Wales. The remainder of Australia remains mostly cloud free.
