IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:00 pm EST Sunday on 05 July 2020 Cold air from the Southern Ocean extends over the Tasman Sea and is evident by the speckled cellular cloud. Extensive low cloud and fog over southeastern Australia is a combination of the same cold air mass and subsidence from the ridge of high pressure over land. In the west, a vigorous cold front is approaching southwest WA with patchy cloud over the land ahead of the front that features a distinct thicker cloud band along the frontal change with embedded thunderstorms active along the southwest coast. In the north a band of high cloud streaming over Queensland is associated with an upper level jet stream.
