Extensive cloud band from Queensland east coast to eastern NSW and adjacent Tasman Sea is associated with a low pressure trough extending from severe tropical cyclone Owen through eastern parts of Queensland to a low centred over western New South Wales. Extensive area of cloud also covers Victoria, Tasmania and southeastern parts of South Australia associated with this low pressure system. Areas of patchy cloud is evident along a trough extending from the southwest corner of WA through to the northern parts of the NT. The central part of the country and much of WA is cloud free due to a ridge of high pressure.
