IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:11 am EDT Sunday on 17 November 2019 A broad upper level trough moving across southeast Australia has produced a middle to high level cloud band. A large field of convective cloud is evident in a cold southwesterly airstream over southeast SA, VIC, and TAS. A broad surface trough of low pressure extending from the South West Land Division in WA, through the Top End of the NT to southeast QLD has triggered nearby convection. Thunderstorms earlier observed in QLD and WA were also driven by this trough. The remainder of the continent is predominantly clear tonight as a ridge extends from a high over the Bight across the country.
