IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart on 27 May 2017 Issued at 11:00 pm EST Saturday on 27 May 2017 The cloud band with embedded thunderstorms moving across the western parts of Victoria and Tasmania as well as the southeast parts of South Australia is due to a cold front. High cloud is streaming ahead of the cold front over the eastern parts of Tasmania and Victoria and into the Tasman Sea. Low cloud can be seen over the southern coast of the continent in the cold southwesterly wind flow behind the cold front. Patchy middle level cloud with isolated thunderstorms over the Interior of Western Australia, the southern parts of the Northern Territory as well the southern inland areas of Queensland is associated with surface and upper troughs. The upper trough is also responsible for middle level cloud streaking across the Top End in the Northern Territory. Moist onshore wind flow is causing areas of low cloud along parts of the east Queensland coast. The rest of the continent is mostly clear due a ridge of high pressure.
