IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:28 am EST Saturday on 24 August 2019 A cold front and associated cloud band extends from the Bight to the west of Tasmania then further southeast. Cumulus cloud behind the front is bringing showers to the far southwest of Western Australia and along the southern coast. High pressure covers eastern Australia resulting in mostly clear conditions. Southeasterly winds are generating areas of low cloud and isolated showers along the Queensland coast, while patchy low cloud covers part of Tasmania. Clear conditions persist through the interior and over northern Australia apart from some high cloud over the Gulf of Carpentaria.
