IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart on 21 July 2017 Issued at 11:00 pm EST Friday on 21 July 2017 A deep low pressure system over New Zealand and associated cold pool are producing low cloud over much of the Tasman Sea and widespread middle level cloud and some thunderstorm near New Zealand. A complex region of low pressure sits to the south of the Bight and has multiple cold fronts and troughs. The strongest of these systems is the cold front which is moving across southern WA with some isolated thunderstorms and middle level cloud. A ridge of high pressure is responsible for keeping the rest of the continent mainly cloud free.
