IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 am EST Saturday on 21 July 2018 A broad cloud band with embedded thunderstorms extends over the Tasman Sea close to New Zealand and is associated with a cold front moving across the Tasman. Cellular clouds with isolated thunderstorms can be seen in the cold air behind the front, mostly offshore over the Tasmania Sea and some further south wrapping around Tasmania. High cloud is streaming across northern coastal parts of Queensland and out over the Coral Sea ahead of an upper level trough. A cold front moving over southwestern parts of Western Australia has an associated middle level cloud band sweeping back across the Indian Ocean while high level cloud extends further east ahead of this system across southern parts of SA and across the Bight. The remainder of the continent is mainly cloud free under the influence of a high pressure ridge extending across central Australia.
