Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC chart on 07 May 2013

Issued at 12:09 pm EST Tuesday on 07 May 2013

Cloud band associated with an upper level trough is crossing Victoria and southern NSW.

A moist onshore easterly flow has produced showers and low level cloud along the NSW coast and over eastern parts of Queensland.

Middle to high level cloud that extends over southwestern parts of WA and western parts of SA is associated with a deepening low pressure system and a developing cold front to the southwest of WA.

A ridge of high pressure is keeping the remainder of the country mostly cloud free.
