IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 20 September 2017 Issued at 4:39 am EST Thursday on 21 September 2017 Speckled cloud in cold air cloud can be seen over the eastern parts of the Tasman Sea wrapping around a low pressure system. A thick cloud band extends over far southeast parts of SA, parts of Victoria and Tasmania and is associated with a weak cold front that is moving through the region. A thickening cloud band over far southwest WA is associated with a surface trough ahead of the cold front that is associated with the thick cloud band with embedded showers and thunderstorms that sweeps over the Indian Ocean and wraps into the low pressure system associated with the cold front. A high pressure system over central New South Wales is keeping the remaining areas of Australia cloud free.
