IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:02 pm EDT Friday on 18 October 2019 Areas of middle level cloud with embedded thunderstorms are observed over the interior of Western Australia and the Northern Territory, triggered by a broad surface trough combined with afternoon heating. A second surface trough is moving north along the Queensland coast, with a line of thunderstorm activity stretching across eastern Queensland. A strong cold front is crossing the central Victoria and eastern Tasmania, with low cloud associated with the front observed in the vicinity of the front. Cold air to the west of the front is represented by cellular clouds with occasional thunderstorm activity. Some patchy high cloud is drifting across the southwest of WA, meanwhile, the remaining interior parts of the country are under mostly clear skies.
