IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 26 June 2017 Issued at 6:08 am EST Tuesday on 27 June 2017 An extensive band of middle and high level cloud, due to the interaction between a surface trough and an upper level trough, extends from the Interior of WA over central Australia, South Australia and inland parts of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. A trough is moving across the Tasman Sea with thunderstorms near the trough. Speckled cloud can be seen in the unstable cold air behind the trough. Low level cloud is evident near tropical Queensland, Tasmania and along the south coast of the continent and is due to onshore flows driven by a firm ridge of high pressure. Skies are mostly clear over the remainder of country under the high pressure ridge.
