IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 11:09 pm EDT Wednesday on 23 January 2019 The Monsoon Trough stretches over tropical, northern Australia and is driving enhanced convective activity over the country's far north with particular focal points over the Territory's Top End and others near two low pressure systems one of which is located near Cape York Peninsula while the other is offshore from WA's far north coast. Both low pressure systems are being closely monitored with the low offshore from the Kimberley coast expected to intensify into a Tropical Cyclone during Thursday. http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/forecasts/nwcyclone.shtml Elsewhere the country is largely dominated by a broad area of low pressure with frequent thunderstorm activity continuing over central and eastern parts of the country, mostly across past of NSW and southern QLD. Across WA an active inland trough is triggering an extensive cloud band over central to eastern parts of the state with embedded thunderstorms within the cloud band. A deepening low pressure system lies just offshore, south of the Southwest Land Division with an associated developing cold front over the far southwest corner of WA.
