IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 12:16 am EDT Tuesday on 13 November 2018 A large cloud band with embedded thunderstorms extends from central Australia through to the southeast of the country as a result of an influx of tropical moisture interacting with a surface trough and upper level jet stream. High cloud captured by the jet stream is streaming over Victoria, Tasmania and NSW. A southerly onshore flow over southern WA has brought low level cloud over the area. Other weaker troughs are triggered convective clouds over western Queensland and northern parts of the NT and WA. The rest of the continent is cloud free due to high pressure ridges.
