IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 27 May 2017 Issued at 5:00 pm EST Saturday on 27 May 2017 The cloud band moving across the Great Australian Bight is due to a cold front with middle to high level cloud streaming ahead of the front mostly over Tasmania. Thunderstorms can also be seen south of the Bight along the front. Low level cloud is evident over the far southwest parts of Western Australia in a southwesterly wind flow behind the cold front. Patchy middle level cloud over the Interior of Western Australia and the southern parts of the Northern Territory is associated with surface and upper troughs. Moist onshore wind flow is causing areas of low cloud along parts of the east coast of Australia. The rest of the continent is mostly clear due a ridge of high pressure.
