IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC Chart Issued at 6:22 am EDT Wednesday on 20 February 2019 Severe Tropical Cyclone "Oma" is situated over the Coral Sea, well away from the Queensland coast. A large area of convection surrounds the system. A weakening middle level cloud band with isolated thunderstorms extends from off the northern coast of NSW towards the South Island of New Zealand. Low level cloud in the cool onshore flow following the front is visible over the NSW coast and eastern Victoria. Extensive low and middle level cloud is crossing Tasmania, southwest Victoria and South Australia from the west ahead of a cold front. Middle level cloud and thunderstorms through northern and central WA, northern NT and northeastern Queensland are triggered by low pressure troughs. The remainder of Australia is mostly clear.
