IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 20 August 2017 Issued at 6:10 pm EST Sunday on 20 August 2017 Low cloud along the east coast of Victoria, New South Wales and southern Queensland is due to cold airmass associated with a complex low pressure system near New Zealand. Thunderstorms can be seen over the northern Tasman Sea. Cloud with embedded thunderstorms over the Eyre Peninsula (SA) is due to a cold front and low pressure system. Low cloud is affecting southern Western Australia, behind the cold front. Middle level cloud streaming across South Australia, and western Victoria and New South Wales, is associated with an upper level trough. High level jetstream cloud covers northeastern SA and southwestern Queensland. Patchy low cloud covers the Indian Ocean under a high pressure ridge, while mid-level cloud further south lies along another cold front. The remainder of the country is mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
