IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 22 June 2017 Issued at 5:57 am EST Friday on 23 June 2017 A weakening low pressure system is located on the southern west coast of Western Australia, producing cloud and showers over southwest WA and surrounding ocean waters. Further high level cloud generated by the low is streaming through Victoria and Bass Strait. A middle level cloud band extends from northwest WA to the Bight, associated with a trough. Cloud is streaming further through South Australia and New South Wales. A broad ridge of high pressure is affecting the eastern states and the Northern Territory. Low cloud has formed in moist air trapped under the high pressure system over Tasmania. There are also some coastal showers along the Queensland coast produced by moist onshore flow. The remainder of the area under the influence of the ridge is mainly free of cloud.
