IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 12:08 pm EDT Tuesday on 19 March 2019 Severe Tropical Cyclone Trevor (Category 3) is located approximately 85km east 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. A high pressure ridge south of Tasmania continues to direct an easterly flow across the remainder of southeastern Australia with patchy low cloud. To the west, active thunderstorms associated with a low pressure system and trough can be seen over southwest WA, while areas of middle and high level cloud continues to drift over inland Australia.
