IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 19 October 2017 Issued at 6:04 am EDT Friday on 20 October 2017 Cloud with embedded thunderstorm activity is over the Coral Sea and the north Queensland coast. This is due to a surface low pressure trough and an upper level disturbance. Onshore easterly winds are resulting in areas of low cloud over the remainder of eastern QLD. In the southeast the cloud band is associated with a cold front and trough over Victoria and southern NSW. This system is drawing moisture down from the QLD tropics.
