Weather Forecast: Southeast Australia to Experience Rain and Thunderstorms

A northwest cloud band is expected to bring rain and thunderstorms to southeast Australia, particularly in New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland (Qld) on Friday.

A trough is forecasted to produce showers and severe thunderstorms in the region, followed by milder conditions, although it will still be cold enough for snow in southern Tasmania.

Meanwhile, cloud is building over the Indian Ocean, which is a precursor to the next big weather system, bringing widespread rain to the area.

The Negative Indian Ocean Dipole is contributing to the moisture influx from the Indian Ocean.
