IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 11:00 am EDT Monday on 21 January 2019 A patchy middle to high level cloud band with embedded thunderstorms extends from western South Australia through western New South Wales to southwest Queensland. Thunderstorms are evident parts of this area. This is generated by an upper level disturbance. Moist onshore flows are producing low cloud through western Tasmania, the Bass Strait, southern Victoria as well as coastal NSW and QLD. In the north, a broad area of low pressure over northern Australia combined with favourable moist surface conditions has resulted in enhanced convective activity over the Top End and northern WA. Thunderstorms are evident throughout this area. The remainder of the continent is mostly cloud-free due to high pressure ridges.
