Embedded thunderstorms are visible within this cloud band. A separate surface trough over southeast SA is generating areas of middle level cloud with isolated thunderstorms. A surface trough just off the coast of NSW and southeast QLD is generating an extensive band of middle level cloud with embedded thunderstorms that extends over the western Tasman Sea to southeast QLD. An area of middle level cloud and isolated thunderstorms over northeast NSW and southeast QLD is being driven by a weak upper level trough.
