IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 pm EST Sunday on 18 August 2019 A cold front is crossing the south east of the continent with the main cloud band currently over Victoria and Tasmania. To the west of the cold front a large mass of cold air has produced a large and vigorous field of speckled convective cloud with isolated thunderstorms around the the Victorian and South Australian coastlines. This speckled cloud extends throughout the Bight and south into the Southern Ocean. The rest of the country is mostly clear, with only isolated cumulus clouds observable through parts of the Northern Territory and Queensland.
