IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart on 17 October 2017 Issued at 11:00 pm EDT Tuesday on 17 October 2017 Extensive cloud with embedded thunderstorm activity is affecting eastern Queensland, northeast New South Wales and the Coral Sea. This is due to a surface low pressure trough near the Queensland coast combining with an upper disturbance to the west. Cloud is streaming from the Pilbara region of WA, poleward to a low well south of Tasmania. This cloud is the remnants of a weakening cold front. A second front further west is approaching the southwest Western Australia coast. The cold air behind the front can be seen evident by the speckled cellular clouds. Some isolated thunderstorm activity can be seen near Darwin and also about Kimberley region. Typical storm activity for this time of the year.
