IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:08 am EST Sunday on 22 May 2022 A mix of high and low cloud over eastern Queensland the southern Coral Sea is being driven by both an upper level and a surface trough. Weak surface troughs and an upper disturbance are responsible for the middle level cloud across parts of Western Australia, western South Australia, and southern NT. Subsiding air beneath a strong high pressure system west of Tasmania is trapping moisture near the surface, which is evident as a broad area of low cloud across southeastern Australia. The north of the continent remains mostly cloud free.
