IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:35 pm EST Friday on 21 September 2018 A band of middle to high level cloud extends through the southern NT, northern SA and into northwestern NSW. This is the due of an upper level trough. Patchy middle level cloud extends over the Peninsula district and the tropical east coast of Queensland. High level cloud is drifting over southwest WA ahead of a weakening cold front which is slipping to the south over the Southern Ocean. Onshore westerly winds are bringing patchy low level cloud to western Tasmania. High cloud is visible streaming over the sea in the lee of the mountains off southeast Tasmania. Southerly winds are resulting in patchy cloud and isolated showers about parts of the the east coast of Australia. High pressure is keeping the remainder of Australia mostly clear.
