IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 12:24 pm EDT Saturday on 22 February 2020 A trough of low pressure near the western WA coastline is generating a middle level cloud band with active thunderstorms. A second trough extending from northern WA across the NT Top End to the Gulf of Carpentaria links up with an embedded low pressure system within the Monsoon Trough. Large areas of convective cloud and thunderstorms are being generated by this tropical low throughout the Gulf, as well as over Cape York Peninsula. Further thunderstorm activity can be seen over southcentral QLD near another surface low pressure trough. A dominant high pressure system to the south of the country is generating an onshore easterly airstream and low cloud for coastal NSW.
