IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 6:47 pm EDT Thursday on 20 February 2020 A trough of low pressure near the western WA coastline is generating a thick middle level cloudband with active isolated thunderstorms. A second trough linking the NT's Top End, through the Gulf of Carpentaria and into northeastern QLD is also generating areas of isolated thunderstorms and patchy cloud. A domininant high pressure system to the south of the country is generating an onshore south to southeasterly airstream and bringing low level cloud onto much of the southern WA, SA, Victorian and western Tasmanian coast. Patchy middle and upper level cloud can also be seen extending through eastern SA and western NSW as it's pulled eastwards within an upper level jetstream.
