IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:52 am EST Tuesday on 17 July 2018 A strong cold front is moving through the Great Australian Bight and has produced an extensive cloud band with embedded thunderstorms. Cellular cold air clouds and isolated thunderstorms can be seen behind the front. Some middle and high level cloud extends from the north over far north Queensland and the northern parts of the Top End in the Northern Territory. The remainder of the continent is mainly cloud free under the influence of a high pressure ridge extending across central Australia.
