IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 6:03 am EST Wednesday on 18 September 2019 A cloud band with embedded thunderstorms extends over eastern NSW from the Tasman Sea. This is associated with a surface trough and a low pressure system located off the NSW coast. Patchy low cloud can be seen about the west coast of Tasmania in a northwesterly airstream. A surface trough and a weak upper trough is generating patchy middle level cloud over South Australia. Patchy low cloud is also evident for the southwest districts of Western Australia. High cloud is streaming over the southern parts of Western Australia, ahead of an approaching cold front. The remainder of the continent is mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
