Embedded thunderstorms are visible within this cloud band. A separate surface trough over the far southeast of SA is generating areas of middle level cloud with isolated thunderstorms. A surface trough 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 patchy middle level cloud and scattered thunderstorms over northeast NSW and southeast QLD is being driven by an upper level trough.
