There's a big mass of cloud associated with a front moving E/NE across the state. Follow it's progress at the BSCH visible satellite images page if you like and see how it is progressing by early afternoon:

The attached image from the latest GFS weather model run doesn't look great from a cloud cover perspective at 4pm (follow the BSCH link to 'forecasts', selecting total cloud cover from 'complete charts list', and the forecast starting from 12Z). The big red wedge of cloud is heading east. But the further northeast you go, the better odds you might have especially *if* the front progresses more slowly than forecast. Not great for me in Sydney, but more chance in Newcastle or Taree. The eastern edge of the front is thin high cloud which, if we're lucky, will afford photogenic views, but obviously as it thickens we'll eventually lose...
