IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:50 pm EDT Thursday on 23 January 2020 Showers and thunderstorms extend over northern Australia, most parts of Queensland and New South Wales. This is due to humid, northeast to northwesterly airstream and associated low pressure trough. Further south, a strong cold front is moving across the Tasman Sea. Speckled clouds in a cold air mass can be seen following the cold front mainly over the Bight and Bass Straight. Patches of low cloud is evident along the southeast coast of Australia due to a southwesterly onshore flow. A high pressure ridge lies over southern districts of Western Australia. Another high pressure ridge across the Tasman Sea and Coral Sea is directing a north to northeast airstream over eastern Australia.
