IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart Issued at 8:04 am EDT Wednesday on 22 March 2023 A trough extends from the Kimberley region of WA through the Gascoyne district to southwest WA. Areas of active cloud and thunderstorms can be seen near and east of this trough. Areas of active cloud are also seen over the western Top End and in the east of the Gulf of Carpentaria. Favourable upper level flow and a surface trough has generated a large area of cloud over Victoria, Tasmania and southern New South Wales, with embedded thunderstorms east of the trough in New South Wales. Cloud also extends north, over northeast NSW and southern Queensland. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free apart from areas of mainly low level cloud along the coastal areas of southern WA and South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland.
