IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart Issued at 6:51 pm EDT Wednesday on 29 March 2023 A significant region of convective and high cloud is present over central Western Australia and is associated with thunderstorm activity that has developed due to a trough extending from a low off the Pilbara coast through to another low off the Gascoyne coast. Through the centre of the continent, there is a band of high level cloud from Western Australia into southern Queensland and northern New South Wales associated with convection. An active region of thunderstorms is present near a low located off the east coast of Victoria, covering most of the southeast of the country with high and mid level cloud. There is convective cloud associated with a trough that extends from this low through New South Wales. A low to the south of Tasmania is generating low level cloud cover across Victoria and Tasmania. A ridge in the Bight is driving low level cloud across southern coastal areas of Western Australia and the coastal areas of South Australia. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
