IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart on 20 September 2017 Issued at 10:06 pm EST Wednesday on 20 September 2017 Speckled cold air cloud can be seen over the Tasman Sea as the thicker middle level cloud band wraps around the low pressure system driving the colder airmass. A thick cloud band extends over far southeast SA, parts of Victoria and Tasmania associated with a weak cold front that is moving through the region. A patchy lower level cloud band extends over far southwest WA and is associated with a surface trough. The next thick cloud band with embedded showers and thunderstorms that sweeps over the Indian Ocean is associated with the next cold front of significance that is approaching southern WA. A high pressure system over central New South Wales is keeping the remaining areas of Australia cloud free.
