IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart on 01 October 2016 Issued at 6:17 am EDT Sunday on 02 October 2016 A middle level cloud over northwest Australia is the result of tropical moisture being advected away from occasional thunderstorm activity southwest of Java. While a moist onshore flow has brought patchy low cloud to the far north of Queensland. In the west, a cloud band is tracking across southern WA. This cloud band is associated with a cold front and developing low pressure system south of the Bight. The remainder of the continent is mostly clear due to a ridge of high pressure.
