IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:40 am EDT Friday on 24 January 2020 Showers and thunderstorms extend over northern Australia with more enhanced activity over the Carpentaria district NT. Humid northwest to northeasterly winds are feeding into a broad low pressure trough with a slow moving tropical low over the Carpentaria NT. Another low pressure trough is aligned across the Pilbara through central Australia then links with a strong cold front moving through central NSW. Showers and thunderstorms are active near the trough through the NT, the southern interior of QLD and northeast NSW. Further south, the strong cold front extends off the central NSW coast over the Tasman Sea, while a secondary cold front is moving to the east of Tasmania. A westerly airstream with areas of low cloud lies over the southern agricultural areas of SA, southern Victoria and Tasmania. A high pressure ridge lies over southern districts of Western Australia. Another high pressure ridge across the Tasman Sea and Coral Sea is directing a north to northeast airstream over most of QLD and northeast NSW.
