IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart on 20 July 2017 Issued at 11:00 pm EST Thursday on 20 July 2017 A cold front extends over New Zealand with an extensive cold pool in its wake that covers the Tasman Sea with isolated to scattered shower and thunderstorm activity. The next significant cold front and a trough extends over southwest WA with an extensive, thick cloud band that wraps around to a complex low pressure system further south behind the cold front. A notable pool of cold air also resides to the west of the cold front depicted by the speckled cloud over southwest WA. Patchy low level cloud over eastern NSW, VIC and Tasmania is associated with low level moisture brought inland from the southerly airflow. Patchy upper level cloud over southern SA sweeping east across southwest NSW is associated with an upper level Jet Stream. A ridge of high pressure is responsible for keeping the remainder of the country mainly cloud free.
