IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart Issued at 12:15 am EDT Tuesday on 18 December 2018 Ex-Tropical Cyclone Owen is centred offshore of the coast of Mackay, Queensland with associated cloud band mostly off the coast. A low centred southeast of Tasmania and associated trough maintains a band of cloud over the Tasman Sea. Low cloud covers far southeastern South Australia and southern areas of Victoria in the southeasterly flow between the low and a high south of the Bight. Areas of cloud are present along a trough extending from a low over southeastern WA through the NT to the central Gulf Country in western Queensland. Thunderstorm activity along this trough is being assisted by an upper level disturbance. Thunderstorms are also occurring over central WA and south towards the Esperance coast. Central Australia and much of the rest of WA, except the far southwest, is mostly cloud free.
