IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:21 am EDT Thursday on 02 April 2020 The broad convective cloud band stretching from central Australia through to southeast Australia is generated by the interaction between a surface trough of low pressure with an upper-level atmospheric disturbance. Embedded thunderstorms are observed over northern SA, southern NT and western NSW within this cloud band. High cloud streaming over southern WA is associated with a deep low pressure system over the southern Indian Ocean. The high cloud is being advected along the subtropical jet stream away from the low towards southern WA. A weak trough near the NT/WA border is still producing active convection in its vicinity including thunderstorms over the Kimberley. A weak onshore flow over the NSW coast tonight has brought patchy to overcast low cloud over the eastern ranges extending from southeast QLD southwards along the dividing ranges.
