IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:25 pm EST Saturday on 15 August 2020 A low pressure system has moved offshore of New South Wales, but continues to drive onshore cloud along the coast, with plenty of lower level cloud further west over central parts of that state, Victoria and eastern South Australia producing showers. Thunderstorms can be seen over parts of south east Queensland. A cold front connected to this low is producing embedded thunderstorms over the Tasman Sea, pushing rain over Tasmania. A strong cold front is approaching the West Australian coast, with a large mass of higher-level cloud with embedded thunderstorms ahead of the system. A deep low pressure system lies off the south west coast. Patchy cloud for the Top End and remaining parts of eastern Queensland associated with surface troughs. The interior of the country remains cloud-free.
