IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:00 pm EST Friday on 18 September 2020 Thick cloud with embedded thunderstorms is moving through inland parts of the Australian continent, associated with a cut-off low over South Australia and a cold front extending north to central Australia. Low cloud is streaming up over the western Bight in the wake of the system. A surface trough ahead of the cold front is generating broad instability, with thunderstorms and mid-to-high cloud being picked up by the subtropical jetstream and moving over eastern parts of the continent. A cold front approaching Western Australia is producing areas of high cloud for parts of south-west.
