IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 22 August 2017 Issued at 5:00 am EST Tuesday on 22 August 2017 A surface trough combed with an upper trough is creating a mid-level cloud band that spreads over coastal parts of eastern Australia including from far southeast Queensland to far eastern Victoria and spans across the Tasman Sea. Low cloud behind the trough system covers coastal parts of SA, VIC and over Tasmania. A weak cold front approaching the far southwest corner of Western Australia has an associated middle level cloud band that sweeps across the corner of the state and through the Great Australian Bight. A patchy middle level cloud band sweeps from the northern parts of the Indian Ocean over central WA and is associated with a jetstream in the upper levels of the atmosphere. The remainder of the country is mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
