IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 11:02 am EST Friday on 19 April 2019 A strong cold front is moving over the southwest of Western Australia. A pool of cold unstable air with isolated thunderstorms is evident behind the front, over Perth and southwest parts, as depicted by the speckled cloud. Middle and high level cloud with isolated embedded thunderstorms extends through eastern parts of Western Australia and well south into the Bight. High cloud also extends over South Australia. High pressure is keeping much of the eastern interior of Australia clear. Southeasterly winds are bringing low cloud to parts of the Queensland coast and northern NSW coast. A deep low and cold front is moving through the Tasman Sea with areas of mid-high level cloud extending back towards the NSW coast.
