IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 17 October 2017 Issued at 5:05 am EDT Wednesday on 18 October 2017 Extensive cloud with embedded thunderstorm activity is affecting eastern Queensland, northeast New South Wales and the Coral Sea. This is due to a surface low pressure trough near the Queensland coast combining with an upper level disturbance to the west. Cloud is streaming from the Pilbara region of WA, poleward to a low well south of Tasmania. This cloud is associated with the remnants of a weakening cold front. A second front further west extends over the far southwest corner of Western Australia. The cold air behind this front is evident by the speckled cellular clouds that spread back over the Indian Ocean. Some isolated thunderstorm activity can be seen near Darwin and is typical storm activity for this time of the year in the Tropics,
