IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 11:00 am EST Friday on 24 May 2019 Showers continue along the Queensland and northern NSW coast due to fresh southeasterly winds. The shower activity is more enhanced along the North Tropical Coast. Further south, a weak trough off the NSW coast and is triggering isolated showers and storms. A series of lows, cold fronts and troughs in the Bight are bringing an extensive area of cloud with embedded thunderstorms over the southeast of the country. The bulk of the shower activity within this cloud mass is centered around Bass Straight, ahead of the easternmost cold front. A deep low pressure system in the Indian Ocean, is driving thick cloud with embedded thunderstorms west of WA. Some of this moisture is streaming over central WA on the Sub-Tropical Jet Stream.
