IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 20 May 2018 Issued at 5:13 pm EST Sunday on 20 May 2018 A strong and persistent high pressure system in the Bight continues to dominate the weather pattern over much of Australia, with much of the continent remaining dry and relatively cloud free. Thicker cloud over Tasmania, the Bass Strait and Victoria is associated with the passage of a trough. Cloud can also be seen over the tropical north-eastern coast of Queensland and across parts of the Top End as a result of a moist south-easterly flow, however much of this cloud is high-level.
