IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC Chart Issued at 5:53 pm EDT Friday on 24 January 2020 Thunderstorms extend over northern Australia with more enhanced activity over the Carpentaria district of NT. Humid northwest to northeasterly winds are feeding into a broad low pressure trough with a slow moving tropical low over the Carpentaria NT. Another low pressure trough extends from NT and links with a strong cold front moving across the Tasman Sea. Thunderstorms are active near the trough through the NT, the southern interior of QLD and northeast NSW. Further south, embbeded thunderstorms are evident along the strong cold front moving across the Tasman Sea. A westerly airstream with areas of low cloud lies over the southern agricultural areas of SA, southern Victoria and Tasmania. A high pressure ridge lies over southern districts of Western Australia. Another high pressure ridge across the Tasman Sea and Coral Sea is directing a north to northeast airstream over most of QLD and northeast NSW.
