IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart on 20 August 2017 Issued at 11:06 pm EST Sunday on 20 August 2017 Low cloud along the east coast of Victoria, New South Wales and southern Queensland is due to cold airmass associated with a complex low pressure system near New Zealand. Cloud with embedded thunderstorms over the eastern parts of South Australia is due to a cold front and low pressure system. Low cloud behind the cold front, is affecting the southern coastal areas of Western Australia and South Australia. Middle and high level cloud streaming across the western parts of Victoria and New South Wales is associated with an upper level trough. Another cold front can be seen to the south of Western Australia, associated with mainly middle level cloud. The remainder of the country is mostly clear under the influence of a high pressure ridge.
