IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:00 pm EST Monday on 19 August 2019 A cold front is crossing the Tasman Sea and has an associated band of thunderstorms and mid-upper level cloud with a broad area of cool-air thunderstorm activity to the west of the front. High cloud extends over Tasmania thanks to an upper level jet stream flowing north. Some patchy low cloud persists over southern parts of WA. The rest of the country is mostly clear, save for some low-middle level cloud over the Top End of the NT due to easterly winds carrying moisture from the Gulf of Carpentaria.
