IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:52 pm EST Tuesday on 14 August 2018 Two bands of cloud are visible over Western Australia and the Great Australian Bight. This cloud is associated with two strong cold fronts, the western one having an area of cold "speckled" cloud to its west. Cloud from the eastern front stretches across the Southern Ocean near Tasmania carried by jetstream winds. A remnant area of low cloud is over northeast Victoria. Patchy convective cloud is over Cape York Peninsula. The remainder of the continent is mostly cloud free due to a large, slow moving high pressure system.
