IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart on 19 April 2018 Issued at 5:00 am EST Friday on 20 April 2018 A band of patchy middle level cloud stretching across central WA and through SA is associated with a trough. Isolated thunderstorms are visible within the cloud band over coastal waters south of SA. Patchy low level cloud over the southwest corner of WA is being driven by a moist onshore airflow. A surface trough over eastern parts of the Tasman Sea is generating an extensive band of middle level cloud with embedded thunderstorms that extends back along the southeast QLD to northeast NSW coastal regions. Thunderstorms driven by surface convergence can be seen across northwestern parts of the Top End and offshore.
