IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 pm EST Saturday on 18 August 2018 Thick cloud associated with a cold front can be seen moving out over the Tasman Sea on Saturday evening. Behind this system is a large pool of cold, unstable air, as indicated by the speckled cloud lying over the Tasmania, Victoria and southern New South Wales. Elsewhere, some low cloud is streaming onto the southern coast of Western Australia as a high pressure system builds in the western Bight, while there is some patchy cloud across tropical Australia. The rest of the country remains mainly cloud free due to a ridge of high pressure.
