IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:06 am EST Friday on 21 September 2018 A band of middle to high level cloud is streaming from the Kimberley through central Australia to the Flinders district of South Australia. This is the result of an upper level trough aligned through the western interior. Isolated embedded thunderstorms are identifiable through the Kimberley. Cloud covers the Peninsula district of Queensland while high level cloud is drifting over the far southwest of Western Australia ahead of cold front well to the west. Fog patches are visible over southern Victoria and the agricultural districts of South Australia. Westerly winds are bringing patchy cloud to coastal Victoria and across Tasmania. Southerly winds are resulting in patchy cloud and showers off the east coast. High pressure is keeping the remainder of Australia mostly clear.
