Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC chart on 8 March 2014
Issued at 11:10 pm EDT Saturday on 08 March 2014
Scattered thunderstorm activity can be seen about northern tropical areas and over the Coral Sea. Particularly intense activity is associated with recently named Tropical Cyclone "Gillian" and also with a developing tropical low east of Cairns.
Thunderstorms are also occurring over central Australia, over the far southeast of New South Wales. A trough through inland parts of WA connects to a cold front to the south. The trough is also triggering isolated thunderstorm activity through inland parts of WA.
