IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart on 28 June 2017 Issued at 5:00 pm EST Wednesday on 28 June 2017 An extensive band of middle and high level cloud, due to the interaction between a surface trough and an upper level trough, extends from central Australia to southern Queensland, South Australia, New South Wales and into the Tasman Sea. Low level cloud is evident near the tropical Queensland coast and along parts of the south coast of Western Australia and South Australia and is due to onshore flows driven by a ridge of high pressure with centres in the Tasman Sea and south of Albany, WA. Afternoon convective cloud covers much of inland Queensland. A band of middle level cloud associated with a cold front stretches from the Eyre Peninsula (SA) to the Victoria/SA border. Extensive rainfall and isolated thunderstorms are occurring near the front. More cold, unstable air lies to its west, indicated by the area of patchy cloud. Another front is crossing southern Bight waters towards Tasmania, where patchy cloud is producing isolated showers in the northwest. Some thin high level cloud is streaming over northern parts of the continent. Otherwise skies are mostly clear over northern and western parts of the continent under the high pressure ridge.
