IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:03 pm EDT Friday on 13 December 2019 A patchy middle to upper level cloud band extending from the northern interior of WA through central Australia to northern NSW is generated by an upper level trough and the subtropical jet stream. A broad trough of low pressure extending across northern Australia, including the Gascoyne Coast, is producing enhanced convection in its vicinity. This convection includes towering cumulus and thunderstorms that are observed over northern WA, the Top End of the NT, and northern QLD. Intense thunderstorms off the northeaster NSW ocast and southeastern QLD coast is associated with a low pressure trough which extends the cloud band over Tasman Sea. Low cloud over southeast SA, VIC, and TAS is associated with a cool southwesterly airstream, in the wake of a cold front currently over the southern Tasman Sea. Thick low cloud over the NSW coast is produced by an onshore airstream combined with smoke from ongoing fires over eastern NSW and southeast QLD. The remainder of the country is largely clear to do a high pressure system over the Bight.
