IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0600UTC Chart Issued at 6:29 pm EDT Sunday on 28 February 2021 The monsoon trough over the Indian Ocean links to Tropical Cyclone Marian, which is just off the chart west of WA. A separate branch of the monsoon trough stretches over the Coral Sea. It extends eastward from a developing Tropical Low off the Cairns coast. This low is generating deep convection with embedded thunderstorms. Cloud is also "spilling" southeastward from this low over southeast QLD and northeast NSW. An inland trough over central WA is generating cloud across much of the southern and eastern inland parts of WA and the Nullarbor.
