IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for 0000UTC Chart Issued at 12:24 pm EDT Monday on 18 January 2021 Tropical monsoon activity continues in the north of the country, with tropical Cyclone Kimi, off the coast, near Cairns in QLD. The monsoon trough lies along the north of the country with another tropical low centred near the Top End in the Northern Territory. These features are producing active convective cloud and thunderstorms. A trough along the WA coast is also causing some enhanced convection and isolated thunderstorms. The trough extends across the NT, central Qld and in to northeast NSW bringing a band of mid-high cloud and isolated thunderstorms in southeast Qld. A high pressure system south of the Bight is directing a moist onshore flow triggering low cloud over coastal parts of southwest WA, SA, Vic and Tas. A cold front approaching southern Tasmania is also enhancing cloud coverage over the state. The remainder of the continent is mostly clear.
