IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 am EDT Sunday on 20 January 2019 A patchy middle to high level cloud band extends from the interior of Western Australia through South Australia to western New South Wales. This is generated by an upper level disturbance. Low level cloud can be observed in a moist onshore flow over western Tasmania, Bass Strait and coastal NSW. Thunderstorms are observed within middle level cloud over northern WA and the Top End. Thunderstorms have also developed over the southern NT. The remainder of the continent is mostly cloud-free due to high pressure ridges.
