IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1200UTC Chart Issued at 1:59 am EDT Friday on 31 March 2023 Severe Tropical Cyclone "Herman" is located in the Indian Ocean, south of Christmas Island. A significant region of convective and high cloud covers most of central and southern Western Australia, with thunderstorms embedded near a trough in the Pilbara, and another extending south from the Gascoyne region. The band of high cloud then extends into South Australia, through the Northern Territory and into central Queensland. A trough lies through central Queensland and into the Coral Sea, driving some convective cloud with embedded thunderstorms near the Capricornia Coast. A ridge in the Bight is driving moist onshore flow, which is producing areas of low cloud through Victoria, western Tasmania, coastal South Australia. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
