IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:01 am EDT Sunday on 26 January 2020 A broad low pressure trough arcs across tropical northern Australia and down through NSW. This trough combined with humid northwesterly winds is triggering isolated thunderstorm activity over the tropics and patchy cloud over the region. Further south patchy low cloud sweeps along the country's south coast with a moist onshore flow. Low cloud also extends along NSW's coast and adjacent areas with the onshore flow driven by the inland trough. Smoke from fires over southeastern Australia can be seen extending over the Tasman Sea.
