IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:00 pm EST Monday on 19 August 2019 A cold front is crossing the Tasman Sea as a band of thunderstorms and mid-upper level cloud. A broad area of cool-air thunderstorm activity to the west of the front extends over the western Tasman Sea. Further west speckled convective cloud extends over Victoria, southern South Australia, Tasmania and adjacent ocean areas. High cloud also extends over Tasmania thanks to an upper level jet stream flowing north. Some patchy low cloud persists over southern parts of WA. The rest of the country is mostly clear, save for some low-middle level cloud over the Top End of the NT due to easterly winds carrying moisture from the Gulf of Carpentaria.
