IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 22 August 2017 Issued at 5:03 pm EST Monday on 21 August 2017 A surface low and weakening trough are cobining with an upper trough to create the mid-level cloud reaching from southern Queensland to northern Tasmania. Isolated thunderstorms are occurring in the cloudband off the NSW coast, with shower activity onshore along the Macquarie and Hunter coasts. Low cloud behind the cold front is affecting the southern South Australia. Another cold front can be seen to the south of Western Australia, associated with mainly middle level cloud. Onshore flow ahead of the front is bringing low cloud to the southwest of Western Australia. A mid-level trough and jetstream are combining to cause the cloud streaming into the Gascoyne and Pilbara regions of WA. Low cloud is visible on and near the Queensland and northern NSW coast due to onshore trade wind flow around a high centred in the northern Tasman Sea. The remainder of the country is mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
