IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0000UTC Chart on 19 October 2017 Issued at 12:29 pm EDT Thursday on 19 October 2017 Cloud with embedded thunderstorm activity is over the Coral Sea and north tropical Queensland coast. This is 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. Over the southeast of the continent is another cloud band, associated with a cold front near Tasmania. This system is drawing moisture down from the QLD tropics. Some low cloud is about the southern coast of Western Australia under the inversion caused by the high pressure system there.
