IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 12:51 am EDT Tuesday on 19 March 2019 Tropical Cyclone Trevor (Category 2) is located approximately 185km to the east of Lockhart River and is moving slowly southwest. Heavy rain and thunderstorm areas are in the immediate vicinity of Trevor while a separate band of shower and thunderstorms is affecting the eastern Gulf of Carpentaria. High level cloud is streaming further south from this system across the remainder of north Queensland. Showers and thunderstorms are active over northern WA and the Top End with a tropical low located to the northwest of Broome. The monsoon trough is aligned over waters to the northwest of WA and also across far north Queensland to Cyclone Trevor towards the northern Coral Sea. Further south, a slow moving upper low and associated surface trough is affecting eastern NSW with areas of showers and storms. A small surface low is embedded on the trough near the central NSW coast. A high pressure ridge south of Tasmania continues to direct an easterly flow across the remainder of southeastern Australia with patchy low cloud. Middle and high level cloud is drifting through the interior of WA across the Bight while a low pressure trough is generating showers and isolated storms over inland parts of the South West Land Division.
