IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart on 23 June 2017 Issued at 12:20 am EST Saturday on 24 June 2017 A weakening low pressure system is located off the central west coast of Western Australia, producing isolated thunderstorms and a small mass of middle level cloud. A middle level cloud band extends from northwestern WA across South Australia and into New South Wales, associated with a middle level trough. Isolated thunderstorms are observed within the cloud band over the southern interior of WA, near the SA border. A cold front is stalling over coastal parts of Victoria and extends to waters east of Tasmania. The coldest air behind the frontal system now lies over southern Tasmania, represented by the cellular cloud with occasional thunderstorm activity. Patchy low level cloud extends into the central and tropical Queensland coasts within an onshore flow, generated by a high over Queensland. Skies are clear over the remainder of QLD and the Northern Territory due the associated ridge of high pressure.
