Noticed that the remnants of cyclone carlos has finally starting to be integrated into the peripheral polar jetstream air. As it is entering the jetstream cloud mass is increasing and developing .

Travelling with the normal west to east flow. Looks like it could bring some cloud cover to vic if it travails north enough on the jetstrem .As did the remnants of cyclone dianne which gave us some cloud cover even during a high.Although l believe it could be a declining high has it seems as a crest is developing in the jetstream and that would indicate to me a deteriorating high.?
A crest is developing in the jetstream air which could keep it a little north along the australian coastline.
The crest also has a cloudy cold upper air front 'as it were'. The collision of the ex-carlos low with the jetstream is producing very heavy rain out to sea. Looks like lots of action in the integration.
The main jetstream tends to take ex-cylone lows' out' as it were but still leaves an adundance of cloud cover that trails from west to east as the jetstream passes. I really look forward to this watch and implications. Love to hear your thoughts
Thanks petros for your map of precipitation it will help with my study. May l have the link to this map thanks.
see satallite animation. Not sure how long it would take that cloud mass to reach SA , VIC and TAS? Guessing about 30 hours? NO. slow moving high could take days?
