Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC chart on 9 March 2014
Issued at 6:03 am EDT Monday on 10 March 2014
Scattered thunderstorm activity can be seen about the eastern Top End, the Gulf of Carpentaria and the Coral Sea associated with an active monsoon trough. Isolated thunderstorms are also occurring in the remaining northern tropics of the NT and WA. Particularly intense thunderstorm activity is associated with Tropical Cyclone "Gillian" and also with a tropical Cyclone "Hadi" in the Coral Sea east northeast of Townsville.
Isolated thunderstorms are also occurring over the far southeast of New South Wales. A trough through inland parts of WA connects to a cold front moving through the Great Australian Bight. This trough and front is triggering isolated thunderstorm activity through parts of central and southeast WA and also in the Bight.
