IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart on 28 July 2017 Issued at 12:19 am EST Saturday on 29 July 2017 A trough and a weakening cold front are moving across the Tasman Sea, triggering active thunderstorm activity near Lord Howe Island. Another cloud band associated with a strong cold front is moving over Western Australia and the Bight. The patchy cloud west of this system indicates a large pool of cold, unstable air with showers and isolated thunderstorms. High-level cloud is streaming along the jetstream that extends from northwest WA down to the southeastern states. Onshore winds are bringing low cloud to parts of Cape York Peninsula and the eastern Top End. A large high pressure system over the eastern part of the country is responsible for keeping the rest of the country mainly cloud free.
