IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart Issued at 12:55 am EDT Wednesday on 27 January 2021 The dominant feature in the tropical north of the country is an active monsoon trough, which is causing convective cloud and thunderstorms and has several embedded lows. The low in the Gulf of Carpentaria is continuing to develop, with areas of deep convective cloud and enhanced lightning. A large region of convective cloud and thunderstorms, associated with surface troughs, extends from southern WA through the interior of the NT, western Qld and inland NSW. A large mid to high level cloud band connects the major inland trough through inland eastern Australia to a cold front situated in the Tasman Sea. Another cold front and low pressure system has just passed Tas, bringing bands of low to mid level cloud. Moist onshore flow is bringing low level cloud to much of the southern mainland coastline.
