IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart on 27 July 2017 Issued at 11:03 pm EST Thursday on 27 July 2017 A cloud band with isolated thunderstorms associated with a cold front is crossing Victoria, Tasmania and southern New South Wales. High level cloud is streaming ahead of the front over New South Wales. Another cloud band with embedded thunderstorms associated with a strong cold front is moving over the far southwest of Western Australia. The patchy cloud west of this system indicates a large pool of cold, unstable air with isolated thunderstorms. A thin band of high-level jetstream cloud can be seen just south of WA extending into South Australia, NSW and southern Queensland. Onshore winds are bringing low cloud and isolated showers to parts of Cape York Peninsula. A large high pressure system over the eastern part of the country is responsible for keeping the rest of the country mainly cloud free.
