IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart on 28 September 2016 Issued at 5:12 am EST Thursday on 29 September 2016 A strong cold front is now located over central New South Wales and Victoria and extends to the significant low pressure system over Kangaroo Island in South Australia. This is generating a large cloud band and thunderstorm activity over most of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and southern South Australia. A field of convective cellular cloud can be seen in the cold air behind the front over far south South Australia and Western Australia. An upper level cloud band is streaming down from tropical convection over Indonesia to southeast Queensland. This cloud is brought along by the upper level subtropical jet stream. A surface trough extending from the Top End to central Queensland is causing isolated thunderstorms.
