IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:49 pm EST Friday on 17 August 2018 A strong cold front with a middle level cloud band is moving across the southeast of the country. A large pool of cold and unstable air is in its wake. Patchy low cloud can also be seen across New South Wales, central Western Australia and parts of tropical Australia. The rest of the country remains mainly cloud free due to a ridge of high pressure.
