IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:57 pm EDT Tuesday on 19 March 2019 Severe Tropical Cyclone Trevor (Category 3) is located approximately 40km southeast of Lockhart River and is moving slowly westward. Heavy rain and thunderstorm areas are in the immediate vicinity of Trevor while a separate band of showers and thunderstorms are affecting the northern Gulf of Carpentaria. High level cloud is streaming further south from this system across the remainder of north Queensland. A slow moving tropical low is located northwest of Broome and is producing showers and thunderstorms. The monsoon trough is aligned through this system remaining offshore from the northwest of WA. The monsoon trough also extends across far north Queensland to Severe Tropical Cyclone Trevor and over the northern Coral Sea. Further south, a slow moving upper low and associated surface trough is generating thunderstorms off the NSW coast while more active thunderstorms can be seen near southeast and central QLD. A high pressure ridge south of the continent continues to direct an easterly flow across the remainder of southeastern Australia with patchy low cloud. To the west, active thunderstorms associated with two low pressure systems embedded within a trough can be seen throughout western WA, while areas of middle and high level cloud continues to drift over inland Australia.
