IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC chart on 01 February 2015 Issued at 11:17 pm EDT Sunday on 01 February 2015 Areas of middle level cloud with embedded thunderstorms cover large parts of Western Australia as well as adjacent parts of Northern Territory and the Top End. This cloud is due to a surface trough which stretches from central parts of Western Australia into the Northern Territory and also a slow-moving upper low just off the WA west coast. Isolated diurnal thunderstorms can be seen about parts of Tropical North Queensland and over eastern districts of New South Wales. Tropical cyclone Ola remains well to the east of Queensland in the Coral Sea. Patchy low cloud about Tasmania, southern Victoria and southern coastal areas of South Australia lie within a moist southerly airflow to the east of a slow-moving high pressure system.
