IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 21 May 2018 Issued at 5:00 am EST Tuesday on 22 May 2018 A strong and slow-moving high pressure system in the Bight continues to dominate the weather pattern over much of Australia, with most of the continent remaining dry and relatively cloud free. Patchy cloud across Tasmania is associated with a trough and cold front that has moved over the region into the Tasman Sea. Some high cloud is spilling into the Pilbara and Kimberley districts of Western Australia from thunderstorms over the Indian Ocean, as well as across the Top End from thunderstorm activity in the Arafura Sea. A thick band of cloud to the south-west of the continent is associated with a very strong cold front moving up from the Southern Ocean, which will affect south-west Western Australia later this week.
