IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 6:40 pm EDT Thursday on 21 March 2019 Tropical Cyclone Trevor (Category 2) is located just offshore from Weipa over the Gulf of Carpentaria. Deep convective cloud is observed rotating around this Cyclone, with high and middle level cloud extending across the northern Gulf of Carpentaria and north Queensland. An extensive band of thunderstorms are also observed across the Top End of the Northern Territory. Severe Tropical Cyclone Veronica (Category 4) is located northwest of Broome, Western Australia. Widespread thunderstorm activity extends over a large area of the ocean near Veronica, in the vicinity of a monsoon trough. A large area of active thunderstorm activity is seen over southern WA, triggered by a combination of a surface trough and middle level disturbance. High and middle level cloud streams away to the east across the remainder of southern districts of WA. High cloud filaments are moving rapidly east within high altitude jetstream winds across South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. Isolated thunderstorm activity can be seen through southeastern Queensland and about the Great Dividing Range through NSW and Victoria, triggered by afternoon heating. A slow moving upper low and surface trough is generating a band of cloud with embedded thunderstorms over the Tasman Sea. Finally, a broad high pressure ridge south of the continent continues to direct a light easterly flow across the remainder of southern Australia, with patchy low cloud about coastal areas.
