IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 18 October 2017 Issued at 12:18 am EDT Thursday on 19 October 2017 Extensive cloud with thunderstorm activity is over the Coral Sea and adjacent Queensland coast. This is due to a surface low pressure trough near the QLD coast combining with an upper level disturbance to the west. Cloud is streaming from northwest South Australia to south of Tasmania ahead of a coupled low pressure trough and cold front. An area of low cloud is over southwest WA in the onshore flow driven by the high pressure system.
