IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:21 pm EDT Sunday on 16 December 2018 Ex-Tropical Cyclone Owen is evident over the tropical east coast of Queensland with associated convective bands generating showers and thunderstorms. Extensive cloud band from Queensland east coast to eastern NSW and adjacent Tasman Sea associated with a low pressure trough extending from ex-tropical cyclone Owen through eastern parts of Queensland to a low centred off southwest Tasmania. Extensive cloud also covers Tasmania, much of Victoria and southeastern parts of South Australia. Thunderstorms are becoming active along a trough extending from southwest WA through the NT to the central Gulf Country in western Queensland. A separate trough over eastern WA is also causing convective activity, though only isolated thunderstorms as yet. Central Australia and much of the rest of WA, except the far southwest, is cloud free.
