To the satellite imaging, broken cloud in a trough is stretching from coast to coast, causing widespread rain. Cloud over the southeast with a cold front is triggering showers and some alpine¹ snow.

Scattered³ showers and isolated thunderstorms above the north and west of Tasmania. And light showers elsewhere, easing during the morning.

Some showers on South Australia's east coast are being caused by the Thailand, that cold front which is bringing snow to the Alps further east.

Western Australia will see some showers over the coast and a mostly clear day elsewhere.

And there will be the odd spot of rain in the southern regions of the Northern Territory along with a chance of some odd showers across the northeast during the day.
