A trough of low pressure extends from central Queensland through to the northern NSW. Another low pressure trough is triggering isolated thunderstorms near the southeast Queensland and northeastern NSW. Areas of active isolated thunderstorms and patchy areas of cloud cover much of Western Australia and western parts of South Australia, and are associated with a broad area of low pressure. Patchy low level cloud covers coastal parts of southern Victoria and Tasmania due to a moist onshore air stream. Remainder of the country remains mostly clear.
