IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 6:03 am EDT Saturday on 14 December 2019 Thunderstorms can be seen in the vicinity of surface troughs mainly over northern Australia. Another trough is responsible for the thunderstorms over the northern Tasman Sea. Mid to high level cloud is drifting across the central and eastern parts of the continent, downstream of a weak upper trough. A cold front is moving across Tasmania with low cloud affecting Tasmania and also the coastal areas of VIC and southeast SA. Mid to high level cloud is also visible over the Tasman Sea, ahead of the cold front. High cloud is streaming onto the southeast parts of the country from the southern ocean. The remainder of the country is largely clear due to a high pressure system over the Bight.
