IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart Issued at 6:14 pm EST Friday on 20 May 2022 A cloud band over northeastern SA, inland parts of southern and central Qld and much of NSW is associated with a disturbance in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere. A weak surface trough is responsible for widespread cloud across southwest corner of WA continues to bring further low to mid level cloud onshore. Subsiding air beneath a strong high pressure system west of Tasmania is trapping moisture near the surface, which is evident as the broad swathe of dark grey clouds over waters and coastal regions south and west of Tas. A vigorous cold front evident to the far southwest of the continent is expected to bring a wintry burst of weather to the south coast of WA later this weekend. The deep tropics of the continent remain mostly cloud free at this time.
