IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:32 pm EST Friday on 20 July 2018 The cloud band with embedded thunderstorms over the Tasman Sea is associated with a cold front. Cellular clouds with isolated thunderstorms can be seen in the cold air behind the front, mostly over Tasmania, the Bass Strait and southern Victoria. Onshore winds are driving low cloud onto the coasts of South Australia, southwest Victoria and western Tasmania. High cloud is streaming across the central parts of Queensland, ahead of an upper trough. High cloud is also drifting onto the Cape York Peninsula district in Queensland from thunderstorm activity further north. A cold front is approaching the southwest parts of Western Australia. The remainder of the continent is mainly cloud free under the influence of a high pressure ridge extending across central Australia.
