IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart Issued at 12:07 am EDT Sunday on 30 January 2022 Extensive cloud band with embedded thunderstorms extends from northern WA across the central NT, the southern Gulf of Carpentaria and into the north Qld coast near Cairns. This cloud is associated with an active monsoon trough across the interior of the continent. Clouds associated with onshore trade winds persist along the eastern seaboard, north of Cape Byron to the monsoonal cloud near Cairns, A large low pressure trough extends down from the central NT across the SA/Qld border and into NSW and eastern Vic. This trough is associated with an extensive band of cloud with embedded thunderstorms affecting much of the land areas over southeastern Australia. Surface troughs also extend along the western coast of WA and are associated with isolated thunderstorm activity. Moist onshore flow is generating low cloud over the majority of Tas and the coastal fringe of the Great Australian Bight.
