IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:12 pm EST Friday on 18 June 2021 A low pressure system is spinning in the Tasman Sea, with thick bands of middle to high level cloud pushing onto TAS, eastern VIC and NSW. This low and a strong high pressure system in southern WA are directing moist air onshore along most of the southern Australian coast. A large band of mainly high level cloud continues to stream across northern and central interior of Western Australia and extends further into southern NT and southwest QLD. This cloud band originates from convective activity in the Indian Ocean to the northwest of WA. The remainder of the country is mostly cloud free apart from patches of middle and low level cloud about tropical north QLD coast and over Arnhem district in the NT.
