IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 12:16 am EDT Wednesday on 26 February 2020 Ex-Tropical Cyclone "Esther" lies within the monsoon trough to the southwest of the Gulf of Carpentaria. Large areas of convective cloud and thunderstorms are being generated by this system across northern Australia. Another convective cloud area can be seen off the northwest coast of WA and is associated with a Tropical Cyclone "Ferdinand". A broad easterly flow across eastern Australia is advecting a humid tropical airmass and areas of low cloud over much of Queensland, eastern NSW and Victoria. An inland trough of low pressure over WA has produced patchy cloud band with embedded thunderstorms over western WA. A strong cold front and associated middle level cloudband is approaching Tasmania.
