IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart Issued at 1:18 am EDT Thursday on 06 October 2022 An upper level disturbance ahead of a surface trough is generating mid to upper level cloud and thunderstorms from the Top End and Barkly district in the Northern Territory extending to eastern parts of Queensland, much of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and southeast South Australia. A low pressure system in the Bight and a high to the south of Tasmania is also feeding moist northeasterly winds over these regions, helping in the generation of a large and active cloud band. A cold front with prefrontal trough extending through Western Australia into the Bight is generating areas of active cloud and isolated thunderstorms through the southeast of the state. Moist onshore flow is generating areas of low level cloud over coastal regions of southern South Australia and over the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland otherwise the rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
