Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC chart on 10 March 2014
Issued at 11:00 pm EDT Monday on 10 March 2014
Scattered thunderstorm activity can be seen about the northern tropical parts of the country associated with an active monsoon trough. Particularly intense thunderstorm activity is associated with Ex-Tropical Cyclone "Gillian" in the Gulf of Carpentaria and also with Tropical Cyclone "Hadi" east of Townsville.
A trough through inland parts of WA connects to a cold front near Tasmania. This trough is triggering isolated thunderstorm activity embedded in a mid level cloud band through parts of central and southeast WA, coastal South Australia, Victoria and the Tasman Sea.
