IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:59 am EDT Saturday on 17 November 2018 Low cloud with isolated showers is present along the NSW coast and ranges extending to east Gippsland. This is the result of a high pressure system over the Tasman Sea directing moist onshore winds to the area. Patchy cloud is visible over southern Tasmania due to the passage of a weak cold front. A broad low pressure trough extends from the southwest of Western Australia across the north of the country through the eastern interior. Showers and isolated storms remain active near the south coast of Western Australia and also through the northern interior. An active line of storms is moving through the Daly and Gregory districts of the Northern Territory. Patchy cloud is streaming through central Australia and western Queensland. High pressure is keeping southeast interior of Australia mostly clear.
