IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 12:09 pm EDT Thursday on 20 February 2020 A trough of low pressure extending from southwest WA, through the Pilbara district and up into to the Gulf of Carpentaria is combining with a hot and humid airmass and generating areas of isolated thunderstorms and patchy convective cloud. A domininant high pressure system to the south of the country is generating an onshore south to southeasterly airstream and pushing low level cloud onto much of the southern WA, SA, Victorian and western Tasmanian coast. Patchy middle and upper level cloud can be seen extending over southeastern WA and central SA as it's pulled eastwards within an upper level jetstream.
