Issued at 12:03 am EST Tuesday on 07 May 2013
Patchy cloud over eastern parts of SA and western parts of VIC and NSW is associated with an upper level trough.
Some low level cloud along the NSW and QLD coast is evident in the moist onshore strengthing easterly flow.
Middle to high level cloud that extends over southwest parts of WA is associated with a developing low pressure system and cold front currently over the Indian Ocean.
A ridge of high pressure is keeping the remainder of the country relatively cloud free.
