Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC chart on 09 February 2012
Issued at 12:55 am EDT Friday on 10 February 2012
A surface trough extending from southern Queensland through eastern NSW and central Victoria to Tasmania has generated showers and thunderstorms along Australia's southeastern seaboard.
A slow moving high pressure system over the Bight is directing a southeasterly onshore flow over South Australia's coast. As a result, low and middle level cloud is prevalent over the area.
A surface trough over western WA is causing isolated showers to develop north of Perth.
A broad area of low pressure has resulted in isolated showers and thunderstorms north of Broome, the coastal Top End and Cape York Peninsula.
