IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 am EST Tuesday on 07 April 2020 Broad areas of low cloud lie over the southeast coast of Australia from northern NSW, through to eastern SA including VIC and TAS. This is due to an onshore flow directed both by the passage of a cold front and the building of a high pressure ridge across southeast Australia. Extensive convective clouds, including thunderstorms, are present over northern WA. They are being generated due to the interaction between a surface trough and a moist unstable airmass. An extensive area of mid to high level cloud is also present over the interior of the continent extending through SA and western VIC. This is due to an upper level disturbance.
