IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 6:24 pm EDT Saturday on 29 February 2020 The large area of cloud over northern WA and the western Top End is associated with ex Tropical Cyclone "Esther". Ex TC "Esther" is still currently embedded within the monsoon trough and is a focal point for convection in the region. The circular cloud mass off the northwest WA coast is associated with ex Tropical Cyclone "Ferdinand". A broad inland trough is bringing cloud and scattered thunderstorms across western WA. With high cloud from these thunderstorms stream across the Great Australian Bight. A moist and unstable airmass is bringing isolated storms to central and eastern Queensland. The remainder of the country remains mostly clear due to a high pressure system over the Bight that extends a ridge into central Australia.
