IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0000UTC Chart Issued at 1:39 pm EDT Tuesday on 02 March 2021 The trough peering over from the Indian Ocean, bringing visible convective cloud along its extent, links to severe Tropical Cyclone Marian, which is just off to the west of the chart. This trough connects trhough to a low just off the Gascoyne coast in WA streching out into two inland heat troughs; one across the west coast of WA and the other across the north of the country. A separate trough stretches over the Coral Sea passing through Tropical Cyclone Niran which is spilling upper and mid level cloud across much of southeast QLD. The inland trough over WA is generating cloud across much of central and south WA flooding over into SA. Meanwhile a cold front has passed over TAS and its associated with cold pool covers TAS, the Bass Strait and southern VIC with low level cloud. Low level cloud can also be seen over much of the eastern coast inland in QLD breaching the eastern coast of NT.
