IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 6:26 am EDT Wednesday on 23 October 2019 Much of the interior of the continent is cloud free apart from areas of middle to high level cloud across the central and southeast parts of Western Australia, the western parts of South Australia and about the northwestern parts of New South Wales. Thunderstorms are occurring across the interior of Western Australia and near the NT/QLD border. An upper trough together with surface low pressure troughs is causing this area of instability. High cloud is also streaming across Tasmania, ahead of an approaching cold front. Another cold front is approaching the southwest parts of Western Australia. A moist onshore wind flow is causing areas of low cloud along the eastern seaboard and northern coast of Queensland.
