IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 28 July 2017 Issued at 5:01 pm EST Friday on 28 July 2017 Two lines of thunderstorms between the New South Wales coast and Norfolk Island. These is associated with troughs north of a weakening cold front crossing the Tasman Sea. Strong westerly flow west of this front is bringing low cloud to western Tasmania. Another cloud band associated with a strong cold front is moving over Western Australia and the Bight. The cold front is bringing showers west of a line from Shark Bay to Kalgoorlie. The patchy cloud west of this system indicates a large pool of cold, unstable air with showers and isolated thunderstorms. A band of high-level jetstream cloud sits above the cold front and stretches from the central Bight to southern NSW. Onshore winds are bringing low cloud to parts of Cape York Peninsula and the eastern Top End. A large high pressure system over the eastern part of the country is responsible for keeping the rest of the country mainly cloud free.
