IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 11:00 am EST Thursday on 18 July 2019 A cold front is generating a mid level cloud band with embedded thunderstorms over the Tasman Sea. A second front is generating mid-high level cloud over the eastern Bight area, Tasmania and parts of Victoria. This front has also extended low cloud over southwest parts of Western Australia. Low cloud over remaining southeast parts of the continent is due to a moist westerly flow directed by a high pressure system over inland SA. Southeast wind flow is directing low level cloud near Cape York Peninsula while an upper level jetstream is responsible for the high cloud streaming across the Coral Sea. The remainder of the continent is largely cloud free under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
