IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 18 August 2017 Issued at 5:06 am EST Saturday on 19 August 2017 Cellular cloud affecting Tasmania and the southeast parts of Australia is associated with a large area of cold air which extends into the Tasman Sea. Thunderstorms can be seen within this cold airmass, mainly over the Tasman Sea. A cold front lies near the west coast of Western Australia with associated cloud affecting the southwest parts of Western Australia. Cellular cloud is visible in the cold air to the west of the front. Middle level cloud is streaming southwards over the southern inland areas of Western Australia, ahead of an upper trough. The remainder of the country is mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
