IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 11:00 am EST Tuesday on 23 April 2019 An upper level low and associated trough is responsible for the band of cloud extending through the eastern interior of Australia. Isolated embedded thunderstorms are visible with this feature. Onshore winds continue to bring showers along the Queensland and northern NSW coast, while a cold front is tracking to the southeast of Tasmania. A high in the Bight is maintaining clear conditions through central Australia and most of Western Australia, although high cloud is present across the Pilbara. Further north, a thin line of high level cloud, associated with a jet stream, is positioned over the eastern NT merging with the cloud mass over the eastern interior. A weakening front is clipping the south coast of Western Australia. Moisture trapped under the high pressure ridge is causing low cloud over southern Victoria and Bass Strait, while westerly winds are bringing cloud to western Tasmania.
