IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:48 am EST Wednesday on 19 June 2019 A cold front and associated cloud band with embedded thunderstorms has moved into the Tasman Sea and stretches southward to a low southeast of Tasmania. A pool of cold air is moving over southeastern Australia in the southerly flow behind the front. Areas of low cloud over southern parts of SA and WA, are trapped under the temperature inversion caused by a high pressure ridge. An area of low cloud is near the Kimberley WA, and a small area of middle level cloud is over central east WA, however the remainder of the continent is mostly clear. A weakening trough with associated cloud is crossing Bight waters; and a low and developing cold front can be seen well west of Australia.
