IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0000UTC Chart on 18 October 2017 Issued at 12:28 pm EDT Wednesday on 18 October 2017 Extensive cloud with embedded thunderstorm activity is over the Coral Sea and adjacent Queensland coast. This is due to a surface low pressure trough near the Queensland coast combining with an upper level disturbance to the west. Cloud is streaming from central Western Australia to south of Tasmania. This is associated with the remnants of a cold front. A second stronger cold front stretches southward from southern WA. The cold air behind this front can be seen in the "speckled" cloud to its west. Some isolated thunderstorm activity is near Darwin.
