Some of the higher gusts since 3am have been Braidwood 56 knots (104km/h) at 7am, Bega the same speed at 6am with a temperature of 28.2 (!), 60 (111) at Cape Grim at 6am, and 65 (120) at Thredbo at 4.47am. Many places across all three states reporting sustained speeds of 30 knots + and gusts 40+. Here at Blackheath right now (11.45am EST) I'd estimate 30 gusting 45. There's a tremendous pressure gradient across the southeast -- from 1016.0 at Cape Byron to 977.6 at Maatsuyker Island at 9am EST. The AVN 850hPa forecasts for tonight have a temperature of 18 over Newcastle and zero over Melbourne, with only slow northward progression, and no easing, of that gradient over the following 36 hours. The AVN for 00z Tuesday has an 850 temp of minus 3 covering most of eastern Vic and southeastern NSW, with a minimum of -6 to cross Tassie early Tuesday morning!

CC lightning was most but a few CG's in there. Also just over the road from the party a tree blew over cutting out the power and music (damn). I think yesterday's severe advice for melbourne would've been due to the already gale force winds. I guess they (BOM) thought that the winds might exceed 90km in the storms giving them a severe rating. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jimmy Deguara" To: Subject: Re: aussie-weather: most up to date satpics Date: Sun, 18 Oct 1998 12:12:46 +1000 X-Msmail-Priority: Normal X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Unfortunately Michael, the link to the Navy site is now up to 30 or more minutes late as they have to process the date.

The flash will appear red if there is rain in the cloud and blue if there is hail. Significant amounts of dust in the atmosphere results in yellow lightning and white lightning indicates low humidity (no rain). ---------- > From: dpn > To: aussie-weather at world.std.com > Subject: aussie-weather: Coloured lightning > Date: Sunday, 18 October 1998 12:54 > > Can anyone tell me what causes Coloured Lightning a few times while > watching storms i have noticed the cloud bank illuminated Blue Green and > Red .

When I left Blackheath at 15.15 EST there was a wall of cloud, rain and gunge stretching west from the Kanimbla Valley through about Tarana in the direction of Bathurst. I rode for 2.75 hours mostly dodging the heavy rain, and when I returned on mostly dry roads, I learnt that the wall of cloud, rain and gunge arrived shortly after I left, but still hadn't arrived in Lithgow when I passed through at 17.45. The cloudmass appears to be streaming in from WNW and the whole thing is moving only very slowly northwards. It's now (19.00) been raining moderately here for about 3 hours.

A lot of the power authorities use it to norrow down the source of power interruptions. The bureau with the use of "Mcidas" has the ability to have the latest GPATS overlayed over the latest sat pic. With the high res. visual sat pic and the zoom function of "Mcidas" you can actually make out individual cell tops - really cool. Hopfully in the not to distant future this information will be made available on the web with charges made on a per hit bases instead of the annual surcharge system now in place - keep your eye on the registered users page on the bureaus home page. regards Brett Jimmy Deguara wrote: > > Can you tell me what information you are referring to with regards to > lightning???

What is happening?? Nothing here, i saw one flash of lightning, no thunder, and it rained at a medium rate for a short while at about 8:30 or 9:00. I'm in Cherrybrook, a north western suburb of Sydney, but to the east of Jimmy. The max. temp. today, as recorded by me, was 36.0 after a low of 20.9 Ben Munro -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-Sender: mbath at ozemail.com.au Date: Sun, 18 Oct 1998 21:54:19 +1000 To: aussie-weather at world.std.com From: Michael Bath Subject: aussie-weather: sydney wx Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Thunder and lightning is now just to my NW. Radar shows rain rates into the 20-40mm band but not much in it. The cell is fairly small and imbedded in the northern edge of the rain band. It is moving very quickly. Apart from a local microburst as the BoM has forecast, there is nothing severe about it. At least if this had occurred a few hours ago there would have been something to 'see' !

Motion difficult to discern -- possibly from WNW13mm in the gauge now (2300) from rain which has been almost continuous since 1600. No fog, so the cloudbase must be reasonably high -- we usually get fog here even in a moist NW stream.

Thankfully the wind dropped here about 10.30pm, at 9pm it was around 40 knots with occasional stronger gusts. Regards Michael >Michael: I happen to agree.
