IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 1800UTC Chart Issued at 6:10 am EDT Monday on 01 March 2021 The monsoon trough over the Indian Ocean links to severe Tropical Cyclone Marian, which is just off the chart, west of WA. A separate branch of the monsoon trough stretches over the Coral Sea. It extends eastward from a developing Tropical Low off the Cairns coast. This low is generating deep convection with embedded thunderstorms. Cloud is also "spilling" southeastward from this low over southeast QLD and northeast NSW. An inland trough over central WA is generating cloud across much of WA, the Nullarbor and extends further eastwards over southwestern half of SA. Meanwhile a cold front is approaching Tasmania and its associated cloud band covers Tasmania and parts of the Bass Strait.
