Tropical Cyclone "Iris" (Category 2) lies over the Coral Sea approximately 225km northeast of Hamilton Island and is moving slowly southeast. Areas of rain, showers and isolated thunderstorms are affecting the central Queensland coast with more enhanced thunderstorm activity close to the centre of "Iris". Bands of middle and high level cloud are streaming away from the cyclone over the southern Coral Sea. A low pressure trough across the north of the country is triggering showers and isolated storms over Cape York Peninsula and about the Top End coast. Patchy middle-level cloud is visible across southern Western Australia and South Australia. Low cloud is evident about the NSW coast and ranges and southern parts of Victoria due to a high pressure ridge and onshore winds. Westerly winds are bringing patchy cloud to Tasmania mainly in the west.
