IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 6:01 pm EST Thursday on 19 September 2019 A low to mid level cloud band extends over eastern NSW from the Tasman Sea. This is associated with a surface trough off the NSW coast. A cold front over the Bight has showers and thunderstorms embedded in its associated cloud band. Cold air behind the front is generating thunderstorm cells over waters south of WA and low cloud covers most of southwest WA. A line of cloud crosses Cape York but the remainder of the continent is mostly clear under the influence of a weak high pressure ridge.
