IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 23 May 2018 Issued at 5:00 pm EST Wednesday on 23 May 2018 A strong and slow-moving high pressure system in the Bight continues to dominate the weather pattern over much of Australia. This high pressure system is directing a cool south-westerly flow over Victoria and parts of New South Wales and South Australia, resulting in areas of low cloud. Further low cloud can be observed across parts of Tasmania which is associated with a cold front that is tracking towards the east. High cloud spilling over northern Western Australia and parts of the Northern Territory is associated with a weak upper trough combining with a nearby jet stream. A thick cloud band to the south-west of the continent which spirals into a low pressure system is associated with a very strong cold front moving up from the Southern Ocean.
