IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 pm EST Wednesday on 19 June 2019 A cold front and associated cloud band with embedded thunderstorms is moving through the Tasman Sea and stretches southward to a low located east of Tasmania. A pool of cold air with speckled convective cloud is moving over southeastern Australia in the southerly flow behind the front. A region of active thunderstorms are visible in eastern WA, near the NT border which are associated with a nearby trough. Further south, patchy areas of low cloud over southern parts of SA are trapped under a temperature inversion caused by a dominant high pressure ridge. The remainder of the continent is mostly cloud free, while a strong cold front can be seen well west of Australia approaching the Great Australian Bight.
