IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 19 August 2017 Issued at 5:00 am EST Sunday on 20 August 2017 Low cloud along the coastal areas of Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania is due to cold airmass associated with a complex low pressure system near New Zealand. Thunderstorms can be seen over the northern Tasman Sea. Cloud with embedded thunderstorms over the southeast parts of Western Australia is due to a cold front and low pressure system. Low cloud is affecting the western coasts of Western Australia, behind the cold front. Middle level cloud streaming across the central parts of Western Australian is associated with an upper level trough. The remainder of the country is mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
