IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0000UTC Chart on 20 October 2017 Issued at 12:31 pm EDT Friday on 20 October 2017 Showers occurring over the Coral Sea and the north Queensland coast are due to a surface low pressure trough and an upper level disturbance. Onshore easterly winds are resulting in areas of low cloud over the remainder of eastern QLD. There is a cloud band associated with a cold front and trough bringing rain to eastern New South Wales. This system is drawing moisture down from the QLD tropics. A high pressure system in the Bight is producing some low cloud over coastal areas, but keeping the rest of the continent mainly free of cloud.
