IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart Issued at 12:53 am EST Sunday on 01 August 2021 A large band of middle to high level cloud extends from the Pilbara to the southeast of the country, associated with a trough and cold front. Isolated thunderstorm activity is occurring near the front in South Australia and Tasmania. Patches of middle to high level cloud extend into New South Wales ahead of this cloud band, whilst low level cloud pushes into southwest Western Australia in the wake of the front. Onshore trade flow is dragging scattered low level cloud along the east coast of Queensland. Scattered diurnal low level cloud is also building across the north of the country. The remainder of the continent is mainly cloud free due to a ridge of high pressure.
