IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 6:06 am EDT Thursday on 24 October 2019 An upper trough and surface low pressure trough is generating middle level cloud through inland Western Australia and eastern Northern Territory. A cold front lies across the Bight and into the Southern Ocean with a band of middle level cloud ahead of the cold front and low level cumulus cloud in the cold airmass behind the cold front. A moist onshore trade wind flow is causing areas of patchy low cloud along the Queensland coastal areas and the upper level subtropical jet stream is producing high level cloud over the Coral Sea and across the Tropical North Queensland coast.
