IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 pm EST Tuesday on 23 April 2019 An upper level low and associated trough is responsible for the band of cloud extending through the eastern interior of Australia. Isolated embedded thunderstorms are visible with this feature. Onshore winds continue to bring showers along the Queensland and northern NSW coast, while a weakening cold front is approaching western Tasmania, with a thin line of cloud stretching west into the Bight. A high in the Bight is maintaining clear conditions through central Australia and most of Western Australia, although high cloud is present across the Pilbara and Kimberley. Further east, a thin line of high level cloud, associated with a jet stream, is positioned over the eastern NT merging with the cloud mass over the eastern interior. Moisture trapped under the high pressure ridge is causing low cloud over southern Victoria and Bass Strait, while westerly winds are bringing cloud to western Tasmania. Afternoon convection is occurring over northern SA into the NT and across the Gulf Country into the southern Top End.
