IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 29 May 2017 Issued at 5:00 pm EST Monday on 29 May 2017 The cloud band and thunderstorms over the Tasman Sea is due to a cold front. Another cold front is skirting the south-southwest coast of Western Australia with high cloud streaming ahead of this front. A ridge of high pressure is directing a moist southwesterly flow across the Great Australian Bight resulting in low cloud over the south coast of Australia from the Nullarbor to Gippsland and western Tasmania. Patchy middle-level cloud over the interior of Western Australia is due to a, since weakened, surface trough. An upper-level trough is responsible for the middle-level cloud streaming across the Northern Territory and central-north Queensland. The rest of the continent is mostly clear due a ridge of high pressure.
