IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 12:06 am EST Friday on 17 August 2018 A band of mostly middle level cloud stretches from the northeast parts of South Australia, across northern New South Wales and into the Tasman Sea. This is associated with an upper trough. In the south, a cold front is moving across the Southern Ocean with the tail end of this front brushing the far southwest parts of Western Australia. High cloud is streaming across Tasmania, ahead of the front while low cloud is affecting the southwest parts of Western Australia. Onshore wind is bringing low cloud to coastal parts of the Peninsula District in far north Queensland. The rest of the country remains relatively cloud free due to a ridge of high pressure.
