Embedded thunderstorms can also be seen over parts of the Kimberley, southwest regions of Western Australia and also over the Top End in Northern Territory. These areas of cloud are associated with a surface trough which stretches from the central parts of Western Australia to the Northern Territory and also an upper low just off the Western Australia west coast. Isolated thunderstorms remain about parts of Tropical North Queensland and is associated with another surface trough. Tropical cyclone Ola remains slow moving well to the east of Queensland in the Coral Sea. Areas of cloud wrapping around a weakening low pressure system in the Tasman Sea cover parts of Tasmania, Victoria and southeast of New South Wales.
