IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:27 am EST Sunday on 16 June 2019 A westerly airstream is established over the far south of the continent with a weakening cold front moving through the Bight. Areas of middle and high level cloud are drifting ahead of the front across the southeast of Australia. Patchy low cloud and fog is evident across the southeast mainly over the ranges. Another frontal systems is visible to the south of Western Australia. An upper trough is responsible for the narrow cloud band aligned through southwest Queensland and the northern interior of NSW. A surface trough off the NSW coast is triggering showers and isolated thunderstorm activity. Onshore easterly winds are resulting in low cloud along the east coast of Queensland and northeast NSW. Remaining parts of the country are mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
