IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart Issued at 6:41 am EDT Friday on 26 February 2021 Thunderstorm activity is increasing across the tropical north of the country, in northern QLD. A low is present in the Coral Sea with convective cloud bands. The monsoon trough has returned to the northwest of the country, with an embedded developing tropical low to the far northwest of the Pilbara WA. A surface trough across inland QLD and into eastern NSW has associated convective development primarily in central QLD and northern NSW. A cold front has crossed Tasmania bringing low level cloud with a low to the south of TAS and a significant cloud band east of TAS. Otherwise onshore flow in the Bight is pushing low level cloud over southern SA, WA and VIC, while the remainder of the country is mostly clear due to a ridge of high pressure over the Great Australian Bight.
