IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC chart on 29 January 2015 Issued at 11:13 pm EDT Thursday on 29 January 2015 A broad area of low pressure stretches across northern Australia and extends down western WA to the southwest of the state. This is causing cloud with isolated thunderstorms in a broad band over WA, the Top End of the Northern Territory and Far North Queensland. A cloud band has formed along the Queensland central coast near a trough. Areas of cloud and thunderstorms are visible near the NSW coast and over the Tasman Sea associated with a deep low. The rest of the country remains mostly clear apart from some low cloud along the southeast coast of Victoria and also over Tasmania.
