An elongated trough with accociated showers and thunderstorms extend from northern Western Australia across Central Australia to Victoria. A moist northerly flow east of the trough coupled with good upper support is continuing to generate shower and thundertorm acivity across the eastern coast of Australia. A developing low pressure system and associated cold front over Victoria continues to enhance shower and thunderstorm acivity of Victoria and NSW. An area of low cloud over southern South Australia is due to onshore southerly flow.The remainder of continent remains relatively dry due to a high pressure in the Bights.
