IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart Issued at 11:40 am EDT Saturday on 25 January 2020 Humid northwesterly winds are feeding into a broad low pressure trough and tropical low over the NT triggering widespread thunderstorm activity across the north of the country. Another low pressure trough extends from NT and links with a strong cold front moving across the Tasman Sea. Thunderstorms and convective clouds are active near the trough through the NT, southern Queensland, northeast NSW and also over the waters off the NSW coast. Further south, a westerly airstream is producing areas of low cloud over the southern coastal parts of the country. While a high pressure ridge means that it is cloud free over the southern and western interior. Smoke from fires over southeast Australia extends over the Tasman Sea. A cold front can be seen moving over Tasmania.
