IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 5:15 am EDT Friday on 22 March 2019 Tropical Cyclone Trevor is located over the eastern Gulf of Carpentaria. Deep convective cloud is observed rotating around this Cyclone, with high and middle level cloud extending across the Gulf of Carpentaria, north Queensland, and off the Queensland east coast. An extensive area of thunderstorms is also observed across northern parts of the Northern Territory. Severe Tropical Cyclone Veronica is moving slowly off the Pilbara coast of Western Australia. Widespread thunderstorm activity extends over a large area of the ocean near Veronica, in the vicinity of a monsoon trough. An area of of middle level cloud with isolated thunderstorms is over southern WA, triggered by a combination of a surface trough and middle level disturbance. Some high and middle level cloud is streaming to the east from this system across southern South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. Thunderstorms have developed over parts of eastern Victoria, northwest Victoria and southwest New South Wales. A slow moving upper low and surface trough is generating a band of cloud with embedded thunderstorms over the Tasman Sea. A broad high pressure ridge south of the continent continues to direct a light easterly flow across southeastern Australia, with patchy low cloud about coastal areas.
