IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:00 pm EST Monday on 06 April 2020 Broad areas of low cloud lie over the southeast coast of Australia from northern NSW, through to eastern SA including VIC and TAS. This is due to an onshore flow directed both by the passage of a cold front and building of a high pressure ridge across southeast Australia. Extensive convective clouds, including thunderstorms, are present over northern WA. They are being generated due to a nearby surface and the afternoon heat triggering convective cells within the moist unstable airmass. An extensive area of mid to high level cloud is also present over the interior of the continent extending through SA and western VIC. This is due to an upper level disturbance.
