IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:34 pm EST Wednesday on 19 June 2019 A cold front and associated cloud band with embedded thunderstorms is moving through the Tasman Sea and stretches southward to a low located east of Tasmania. A pool of cold air with speckled convective cloud is moving over southeastern Australia in the southerly flow behind the front. A region of active thunderstorms are visible in eastern WA, near the NT border which are associated with a nearby trough. Further south, patchy areas of low cloud over southern parts of SA are trapped under a temperature inversion caused by a dominant high pressure ridge. A developing low pressure system and trough is moving north across Bight waters towards the Eyre Peninsula in SA. The remainder of the continent is mostly cloud free, while a strong cold front can be seen well west of Australia approaching the Great Australian Bight.
