IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart Issued at 6:09 am EDT Saturday on 16 October 2021 A complex low pressure system and associated cold front has moved into the Tasman Sea with a weak low centre over eastern Bass Strait. A large cloud band with a few embedded thunderstorms covers Tasmania and eastern half of Victoria and southeast NSW. A trough extends from southwest WA to the NT and further east, just off the coast of QLD. Areas of cloud and a few storms are present near and to the north of this trough. The central inland part of the continent is mostly cloud free due to a high pressure ridge while low cloud is present along the southern coast of SA, western Victoria and WA.
