IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 6:59 pm EDT Saturday on 22 February 2020 A trough of low pressure near the western WA coastline is generating a cloud band with active thunderstorms. A second trough extends across northern WA and the NT Top End to the Gulf of Carpentaria. This links with an embedded tropical low within the Monsoon Trough. Large areas of convective cloud and thunderstorms are being generated by this tropical low throughout the Gulf, as well as over Cape York Peninsula. Further thunderstorm activity can be seen over southcentral QLD near another pressure trough. A dominant high pressure system to the southeast of the country is generating an onshore easterly airstream with patchy low cloud on the NSW coast.
