IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:16 pm EDT Saturday on 19 January 2019 A patchy middle to high level cloud band extends from the southern interior of Western Australia through South Australia to western Victoria. This is generated by an upper level disturbance. Low level cloud can be observed in the cool onshore flow west of the cold front over Tasmania and coastal NSW. A trough of low pressure moving up the NSW coast has generated thunderstorms over the Tablelands. Thunderstorms are observed within middle level cloud over the Kimberley district, the Top End and northern Queensland. Thunderstorms have also developed to the south over the NT. Patchy high level cloud is visible off the Queensland east coast. The remainder of the continent is mostly cloud-free due to high pressure ridges.
