IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 11:20 am EST Sunday on 05 April 2020 Extensive cellular cloud associated with a cold airmass is moving across the Southern Ocean and over the southeast states. Thick mid to high level cloud has extensive areas of rain falling over Bass Strait and northern Tasmania. Low level stratocumulus cloud over the Bight waters and the South Australian coast, is trapped underneath a subsidence inversion is associated with High pressure centered over the Bight, extending a ridge into central Australia. A large mass of convective cloud from thunderstorms overnight is over the Top End, triggered by a low level trough and airmass moisture. High level cirrus cloud is streaming from this mass across northern Queensland to the Wide Bay Burnett coast and is linking with cloud associated with a trough and reminant cold front moving east over the Tasman Sea. An extensive area of cloud and associated shower and thunderstorm activity extends over the west Australian coast from the Pilbara to the Southwest Land Division. Remaining parts of central Australia is relatively cloud free.
