IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:07 pm EDT Wednesday on 19 December 2018 Ex-Tropical Cyclone Owen is located over the Coral Sea with a few thunderstorms near its centre. A series of low pressure troughs through the southeast of the country are driving thunderstorms through northwestern Victoria as well as an active area of severe storms through central to northeastern NSW. Low cloud is being pushed over southern parts of WA and SA by the southerly wind flow to the west of these troughs. Low level convective cloud through tropical northern parts of the NT and QLD has been brought about by afternoon surface heating in otherwise clear skies.
