IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:53 pm EDT Thursday on 18 October 2018 A trough of low pressure system extends across eastern Queensland, through eastern NSW and connects to a low near Tasmania. Associated cloud band and thunderstorm activity is visible within the vicinity of the trough, cold front and the low. An area of cloud further east of Queensland coast is due an easterly trough in the southern Coral Sea. A trough with associated cloud and thunderstorms extends from northern WA through to northern NT. An extensive area of cloud associated with a cold front is moving across southern WA. Meanwhile, a pre-frontal trough ahead of the cold front in southern WA is generating thundery showers. A broad area of low cloud lingers about the southeast SA coast within an onshore southerly flow. The remainder of Australia is mostly clear due to a high pressure ridge.
