IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 12:20 am EST Friday on 19 July 2019 A cold front and low is generating a broad area of thunderstorm activity over the Tasman Sea. A second cold front is generating middle to high level cloud over the eastern parts of Tasmania and Victoria. A third cold front is approaching the southwest parts of Western Australia with low cloud ahead of the front affecting the area. Low cloud over remaining southeast parts of the continent is due to a moist westerly flow directed by a high pressure system over central parts of the continent. Southeast wind flow is directing low level cloud near Cape York Peninsula. The remainder of the continent is largely cloud free under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
