IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 pm EST Wednesday on 15 August 2018 An elongated cloud band that stretches the length of southern Australia continues to move east with an associated surface trough. This surface trough connects to a vigorous cold front which moved through Tasmania and Victoria on Wednesday morning, leaving a pool of cold, speckled cloud in its wake. Isolated thunderstorms can be seen across parts of Tasmania and the Bass Strait. Further cold fronts can be seen to the south of the continent. The rest of the country remains relatively cloud free due to a strong ridge of high pressure, with the exceptions being shower activity over the tropical north-east Queensland Coast, patchy convective cloud off the Top End and low cloud over the South West Land Division.
