IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:25 pm EDT Thursday on 21 November 2019 A deep trough and cold front is moving east over southeastern parts of Australia. Mid-high level cloud extends from central inland parts of WA through SA and southeastern states. The passage of the front is generating a line of thunderstorms which is currently moving east through Victoria. To the west of the system milder onshore flow extends low-level clouds over western coastal parts of SA and far southwest parts of WA. Elsewhere an active line of thunderstorms extends along the trough lying over western NSW and western Queensland, and afternoon thunderstorm activity has also developed over the NT and far north of WA. Lastly, in the visible imagery, smoke from ongoing fire activity is evident over eastern NSW and southeast Queensland.
