IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 pm EST Tuesday on 20 August 2019 A cool westerly airstream is generating patchy to broken low-level cloud over southeast parts of the country and adjacent southern waters. A cold front is generating a mid-high level cloud band over parts of Tasmania with cold-air thunderstorm activity in the cellular cloud over the ocean to the south of the State. High cloud also exteneds over Bass Straight and parts of Victoria with an upper level jet stream. The rest of the country remains generally cloud-free under the influence of a broad high pressure system.
