IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart Issued at 8:41 am EDT Saturday on 29 January 2022 Extensive cloud band with embedded thunderstorms extends from the Kimberley region across the base of the Top End and the southern Gulf of Carpentaria into the north Qld coast near Cairns. This cloud is associated with an active monsoon trough across the interior of the continent. Clouds associated with onshore trade winds persist along the eastern seaboard, north of Cape Byron to the monsoonal cloud near Cairns, A large low pressure trough extends down from the northeastern SA and across western and central NSW into the eastern half of VIC and is associated with an extensive band of cloud with embedded thunderstorms affecting much of the land areas over southeastern Australia. Moist onshore flow is generating low cloud over the Western TAS, the south coast of SA and the coastal fringe of the Great Australian Bight. The west coast and nearby inland areas of WA remain mostly cloud free.
