IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0000UTC Chart Issued at 11:40 am EST Tuesday on 17 July 2018 A strong cold front is approaching Victoria and Tasmania and has produced an extensive cloud band with embedded thunderstorms. Cellular cold air clouds can be seen behind the front. Thick cloud wraps around a deep low pressure system centred well south of Perth and extending another cold front northwestwards with isolated thunderstorms. Some middle level cloud extends from the north over far north Queensland and northern coastal parts of the Northern Territory. The remainder of the continent is mainly cloud free under the influence of a high pressure ridge extending across central Australia.
