IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 12:04 am EST Monday on 24 September 2018 The wispy high cloud streaming across NSW is associated with the upper level subtropical jet stream over the region. A moist onshore flow across southeast coastal Australia has produced overcast low cloud conditions along the windward side of the southeast and eastern ranges. A strong southeast trade flow over the northern Coral Sea is bringing low cloud to the east coast of Far North Queensland. A large pool of cold, unstable air is behind a frontal system moving across New Zealand. This is evident by the sizeable area of speckled, low level convective cells over the Tasman Sea and eastern Great Australian Bight. In the west, a surface trough has produced a cloud band over central and southern WA. The rest of the country is mostly clear with light winds, under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
