IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:08 pm EDT Saturday on 25 January 2020 A broad low pressure trough over the Pilbara region of WA extends over the NT, central Queensland and NSW triggering widespread thunderstorm activity across the north of the country, most of QLD and northeast NSW. Humid northwesterly winds feeding into the trough has further aided in the development of the thunderstorms over the tropics. Further south, cloud free areas over the southern and western interior has been influenced by a ridge extending from a high centred west of Perth over the Indian Ocean. Smoke from fires over southeastern Australia can be seen extending over the Tasman Sea. A weak cold front is moving across Tasmania with a broad westerly flow following close behind.
