IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:51 pm EST Tuesday on 17 May 2022 Low level cloud covers the southeast of the continent west of the Dividing Range in NSW. This is due to a series of cold fronts that have brought up Antarctic-source air over recent days. Middle and high level cloud over Tas is from the fast-moving cold front. A cloud band over the Pilbara region WA is now extending towards Central Australia and western SA. This is caused by an upper air disturbance. A weak "cut-off" low and surface trough can be seen near the southwest of that state. Patchy low cloud is over eastern Qld but the north of the continent is relatively cloud free.
