IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart Issued at 6:15 am EST Tuesday on 24 May 2022 Low to middle level cloud covers the eastern coast and adjacent ranges from the NSW/VIC border north to the central Queensland coast. This is caused by a near-stationary thermal trough which is generating a surface trough just off the coast. A complex low is off the WA southwest coast with a big pool of cold air associated with it. Bands of cloud wrap around the low with a large mass of cloud being "drawn" down from the northwest ahead of the system. Subsidence from a slow-moving high over Tasmania is leading to low cloud across that state. The north of the continent remains mostly clear.
