IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 pm EST Thursday on 18 July 2019 A cold front and low is generating a broad area of thunderstorm activity over the Tasman Sea. A second front is generating mid-high level cloud over Tasmania and southern parts of Victoria and South Australia. This front has also extended low cloud over southwest parts of Western Australia. Low cloud over remaining southeast parts of the continent is due to a moist westerly flow directed by a high pressure system over central parts of the continent. Southeast wind flow is directing low level cloud near Cape York Peninsula. The remainder of the continent is largely cloud free under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
