6am Weather Chart
A broad high pressure system near southeastern Australia extends ridges through
most of the continent. These ridges are interrupted by inland low pressure
troughs in the southeast and another trough along the WA coast. An impressive
front traverses the Southern Ocean.
9am Satellite Picture
Low to mid level cloud can be seen approaching WA from the west ahead of the
front. More low to mid level cloud is associated with the troughs in the
southeast. Convective cloud north of the NT the north coast is due to speed
convergence over the Arafura Sea. The rest of the continent remains relatively
cloud free.
