IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart Issued at 6:15 pm EDT Thursday on 21 October 2021 A cold front south of WA has a cloud band that extends over the southwest of the state. A trough across western NSW and western Victoria is maintaining a band of cloud over much of Victoria, Tasmania and eastern half of NSW. A surface trough extends from the Kimberley region of WA through the NT to southeast QLD. Areas of cloud can be seen near and to the east of this trough with some active thunderstorms over northwest QLD, southeast QLD and northeast NSW. Major cloud development is also associated with a surface trough that lies near New Caledonia. This trough links to a low pressure system south of Lord Howe Island. The rest of the country is mostly clear apart from areas of low cloud about the southern coast of SA.
