IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 11:34 am EDT Thursday on 21 February 2019 Tropical Cyclone "Oma" is situated over the Coral Sea, well away from the Queensland coast. A large area of convection including thunderstorms surrounds the system. A ridge of high pressure over southern Australia is directing a moist onshore flow over NSW. This has led to low level cloud along the coast and Dividing Ranges. Low cloud is also visible along the coast of Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania associated with a southwesterly wind flow. A broad trough of low pressure over the interior of WA and northern Australia has produced areas of embedded thunderstorms. The remainder of Australia is mostly clear due to a break in the monsoon and also ridges of high pressure in the south.
