IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:38 pm EDT Friday on 18 January 2019 An extensive cloud band with embedded thunderstorm activity extends from central Western Australia through South Australia and into Victoria and Tasmania. This is associated with a surface trough and a cold front passing over Tasmania. Afternoon thunderstorm activity is starting to fire up through much of the Top End of Australia. Southwest WA, eastern NSW and southern QLD remain relatively cloud-free due to the influence of high pressure ridges.
