IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC chart on 29 January 2015 Issued at 11:29 am EDT Thursday on 29 January 2015 A broad area of low pressure stretches across northern Australia and extends down western WA to the southwest of the state. This is causing cloud with isolated thunderstorms in a broad band from the north to the southwest of WA, over the Top End of the Northern Territory and over Far North Queensland. A cloud band has formed along the Queensland southern coast near a trough. Areas of cloud and thunderstorms are visible near the NSW coast and over the Tasman Sea associated with a developing low. The rest of the country remains mostly clear apart from some low cloud along the southern coast and also over Tasmania.
