IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 18 August 2017 Issued at 5:09 pm EST Friday on 18 August 2017 A widespread cold airmass extends from southeast Australia into the Tasman Sea. Extensive low level cloud and speckled cloud indicating active showers and thunderstorms stretch across the region. Another cold front lies further west over the far southwest corner of WA and has an associated cloud band that wraps into a low pressure system further south. Speckled cloud to the west of this extends over the Indian Ocean and represents the cold airmass associated with this system. The remainder of the country is mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
