IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:52 am EST Tuesday on 17 September 2019 The cloud band with embedded thunderstorms across eastern NSW and over the Tasman Sea is associated with a cold front and surface trough. Onshore windflow is causing low cloud along the southeast coastal regions of the country and also along the northeast Queensland coast. A surface trough and a weak upper trough is generating mostly middle level cloud with embedded thunderstorms over the southwest parts of Western Australia. The remainder of the continent is mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
