IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 12:04 pm EDT Friday on 18 October 2019 Areas of middle level cloud with embedded thunderstorms over the interior of the continent is associated with a broad surface trough. A second surface trough is moving along the Queensland coast, with patchy cloud observed across the southeast coast. The deep low pressure system over the Tasman Sea has generated a spiral of low and middle level cloud, and continues to move east towards New Zealand. A strong cold front is crossing the western coast of Tasmania, with low cloud associated with the front observed across coastal Victoria and southeast South Australia. Cold air to the west of the front is represented by cellular clouds and occasional thunderstorm activity. Low cloud is also affecting the southern coast of Western Australia within a light onshore flow, associated with a ridge of high pressure.
