IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart on 25 April 2018 Issued at 11:00 pm EST Wednesday on 25 April 2018 A cloud band associated with a cold front is approaching far southern Victoria and Tasmania. A trough extends through NSW and into the Tasman Sea. This is producing areas of middle level cloud with showers through NSW, far eastern Victoria and the Tasman Sea. Isolated thunderstorms are visible within the cloud, mainly over western NSW and the Tasman Sea. Some low cloud is over northeast NSW, southeast Queensland and along parts of the south coast of Australia due to onshore flow. Mid-level cloud with embedded thunderstorms is streaming away from the tropics over the northern Indian Ocean, stretching southeast through central parts of WA to central Australia. This is brought about by an upper jetstream, bringing tropical moisture to continental Australia. The rest of the continent is mostly cloud free under the influence of a high presure ridge.
