IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 27 June 2017 Issued at 5:00 pm EST Tuesday on 27 June 2017 An extensive band of middle and high level cloud, due to the interaction between a surface trough and an upper level trough, extends from eastern WA to southern Queensland and covers most of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. A trough with isolated thunderstorms lies northwest of New Zealand. Speckled cloud can be seen in the unstable cold air behind the trough. Low level cloud is evident near tropical Queensland, Tasmania and along the south coast of the continent and is due to onshore flows driven by a firm ridge of high pressure. A band of cloud crossing the Bight indicates a cold front. More cold, unstable air lies west of this front, indicated by the area of patchy cloud. Skies are mostly clear over the northern half of the continent under the high pressure ridge.
