 Quite a bit of cloud across southern Australia at the moment, it is a series of low pressure systems troughs and relatively¹ weak fronts move through, triggering some showers from western Australia through all the southern state. 

 

A focused band of cloud eased rain that's developing to central Australia, that'll spread through across into New South Wales as we heading to Saturday.

 

A monsoon² winds north of Fraser Island along the Queensland coast will trigger an isolated³ coastal⁴ shower, we'll also see some patchy rain about the southern inland of the state, that's in association with an up level and surface trough but that will pay director in the day.

For New South Wales, though we will see patchy rain acorss the entire state, except for the far northeast and corner, although most of the falls will be relatively lie in central parts of the state, likely to pick up the bed totals.

 

And just some isolated showers about the western and the central parts of Victoria, elsewhere relatively clear, although we could see some light snow falls about the Alpine⁵ regions.

 

And showers widespread across west and north of Tasmania will become statewide.

 

As we heading towards the afternoon, but that should contract back to mostly the west coast through a Sunday.

 

Now for South Australia, some patchy rain clearing from the northeast, some isolated showers about the southern agriculture district, even the possibility of some isolated thunderstorms about the southern coast.

 

And for Western Australia, few showers ran most of southwest land vision, but they will begin to ease and contract further south as the date grows.

 

And for the northern territory, a little bit patchy rain clearing from east Alice Spring district, should be dry and sunny elsewhere.
