IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 pm EST Wednesday on 19 September 2018 A cold front is currently moving away from the northern New South Wales coast, with a trough extending back across northeast NSW and central Queensland. A band of patchy middle level cloud stretches along this system through southern parts of the Northern Territory to the northwest of Western Australia. Afternoon thunderstorms are also observed near the trough in northeastern parts of NSW. Cold air behind the front is depicted by the speckled cloud over southern Victoria, through Bass Strait and across Tasmania. A high pressure system to the west of Perth is directing onshore winds across the southern WA and South Australian coastlines, resulting in areas of low cloud.
