IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 12:06 pm EDT Thursday on 21 March 2019 Tropical Cyclone Trevor (Category 1) is located just offshore from Weipa over the Gulf of Carpentaria. Heavy rain and thunderstorm areas are in the vicinity of Trevor and extend across the northern Gulf of Carpentaria and north Queensland. Severe Tropical Cyclone Veronica (Category 4) is located northwest of Broome, Western Australia. Heavy rain and thunderstorm areas extend over a large area near Veronica in the vicinity of a monsoon trough. A large area of active thunderstorm activity is seen over southern WA, triggered by a combination of a surface trough and middle level disturbance. High and middle level cloud streams away to the east across the remainder of southern districts of WA. High cloud filaments are moving rapidly east within jetstream activity across South Australia and Victoria. A slow moving upper low and surface trough is generating a band of cloud with embedded thunderstorms over the Tasman Sea. Finally, a broad high pressure ridge south of the continent continues to direct a light easterly flow across the remainder of southern Australia, with patchy low cloud about coastal areas.
