IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 28 June 2017 Issued at 6:52 am EST Thursday on 29 June 2017 An extensive band of middle and high level cloud, due to the interaction between a surface trough and an upper level trough, extends from southern Queensland and northern NSW to out over the Tasman Sea. Low level cloud is evident near the tropical Queensland coast and along parts of the south coast of WA and SA and is due to onshore flows driven by a ridge of high pressure. A cold front and associated middle level cloudband is approaching Tasmania and southern Victoria. Some thin high level cloud is streaming over northern parts of the continent. Otherwise skies are mostly clear over northern and western parts of the continent under the high pressure ridge.
