IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:12 am EDT Saturday on 19 October 2019 Patchy middle level cloud, with embedded thunderstorms, extend over the interior of Western Australia and the Northern Territory, triggered by a broad surface to middle level trough. A second surface trough extends through Queensland with associated patchy cloud remnants of previous thunderstorm activity offshore from the eastern Queensland coast. A strong cold front is crossing Victoria and Tasmania with low cloud associated with the front observed in the vicinity of the front. Cold air to the west of the front is represented by cellular clouds with occasional thunderstorm activity. Strong winds aloft are associated with the cold front and are causing standing mountain waves along the NSW southeastern Alpine region where the resultant banner cloud can be seen streaming over the area. Some patchy high cloud is drifting across the southwest of WA, meanwhile, the remaining interior parts of the country are under mostly clear skies.
