IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:01 am EDT Sunday on 17 February 2019 A trough arches through the country sweeping up WA, across the NT before extending down through QLD, triggering isolated thunderstorms and patchy cloud in the vicinity of the trough. Associated with an upper level trough, a band of middle level cloud horizontally extends across the Great Australian Bight with the edged of the cloud band sweeping over southeastern parts of SA and western VIC. A second patchy cloud band extends vertically through the Tasman Sea and is associated with a second upper level trough. The remainder of Australia is relatively clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
