IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart Issued at 7:39 pm EDT Saturday on 01 April 2023 Severe Tropical Cyclone "Herman" is located in the Indian Ocean, well south of Christmas Island. A significant region of middle and high level cloud covers most of central and southern Western Australia propagating east through central Australia to the central Queensland coast. A heat low on the Northern Territory and and Western Australia border has a heat low extending south along the Western Australian coastline, with thunderstorms associated with it. Another trough extends from the heat low south along the Western Australia and Northern Territory border with convection associated with it. A third heat trough extends from the heat low through the Top End in the Northern Territory. A trough extends from the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, to southeast Queensland. There is convection associated with this trough. Another trough is located in northeast New South Wales. A trough extends north from a heat low near the Victoria and New South Wales border, and out into into the Tasman Sea, north of Sydney. A ridge in the Bight is driving moist onshore flow, which is producing areas of low cloud through southern and southeastern parts of the coastal areas and adjacent regions. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
