Hi all
Probably like many of you, I've been watching that 995hpa tropical low in
the Coral Sea NE of Mackay try to develop into a TC. I'm not saying it will
happen very soon, but tonight the monsoon has intensified nicely and vast
t'storm clusters are evident stretching from the base of Cape York and out
past TC Dani and out to Fiji. *Maybe* today could be the day Qld's first TC
of the season develops.

Let us know what you find, Patrick. I'm interested in that event, too,
and I haven't seen anything written about it.

I wrote it up (briefly) in the 'Charts From The Past' column in the
AMOS Bulletin last year (June, if I remember rightly).

Hi all,
The models have certainly been devided, but generally they keep it as a
tropical low, but AVN had it developing into a TC. Certainly I think
that it's been developing nicely, and JTWC has issued a TC formation
alert, which is below:
WTXS22 PGTW 191830
191821Z JAN 99//
RMKS/
1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY SUVA
2. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT MORESBY AND AMEMBASSY
HONIARA SOLOMON ISLANDS
3. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
A 300 NM RADIUS OF 16.7S4 154.3E3 WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS.
AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO
BE 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT 191251Z INDICATES THAT A
CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 16.5S2 153.0E9. THE SYSTEM IS
QUASI-STATIONARY AT 00 KNOTS.
4. REMARKS:
A 191251Z9 SCATTEROMETER PASS INDICATES A BROAD CIRCULATION IN
THE CORAL SEA ASSOCIATED WITH A PERSISTENT AREA OF CONVECTION.
THE CIRCULATION APPEARS AS A DEVELOPING MONSOON DEPRESSION WITH
MAXIMUM WINDS ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION.
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES SUSTAINED INTENSE
CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 48 HOURS. SEA LEVEL PRESSURES ARE NEAR
997MB WITHIN THE MONSOON TROUGH. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES
GOOD OUTFLOW ALOFT. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD.
5. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 201830Z4.
//
Things are looking good so far, I might finally be able to get something
to plot!
Excited QLD'er from Brisbane,
Anthony Cornelius

Good point. Rather than copying, it is easier to create a link to the
real thing then acknowledge the author / originator. If you want to
entice, then create a mini-jpg or mini-gif acknowledging the source,
then expand that to the real link when it is selected.

Hi every-one,
just thought i would let you know what the weather was
like up in my neck of the woods.Wind gusts of about 30 knots constant now
for a few days which is a relief from the hot and humid weather we have been
experiencing lately..Not much rain though an occasional shower.
I also have been watching the low out east of us
(Bowen)and wonder if its going to get its act together or not.I will be
watching it like a hawk today.
Well heres hoping my TC kit is ready to go this year
.And i have plenty of tape ready.
Manda

Could be some good falls around Sydney and Illawarra to Hunter coasts
over the next couple of days. The latest LAPS and meso-LAPS both have
a band of very tight gradient winds freshening on the Illawarra coast
this afternoon/tonight and moving very slowly north over the next
couple of days, bringing 20mm+/24 hours. They also maintain high
dewpoints and good instability over inland NSW, so storms are on the
cards.
The 12z GASP goes for even more rain (30/40mm in the 24 hrs to 9am
Thurs), with the Coral Sea low moving SSE then SE to tighten gradients
Thurs Fri before a ridge moves over Sat. Latest AVN isn't so
pessimistic (optimistic?), with lighter rain, but it doesn't appear to
have picked up the small-scale gradient tightening too well.
None of the models deepen the Coral Sea low significantly, but I don't
know that that's much of an indicator.

One thing just about all the models seem to agree on is some serious
action in the North Island of New Zealand early next week. This region
isn't a complete stranger to the tail end of TCs/pseudo TCs (there
were two in ten days when I was in NZ at New Year 1997), but this
event looks like it has a lot of potential. I won't be at all surprised
to see 500+ mm in favoured locations on the east side of the North
Island.
Today's the first deep southerly (as opposed to sea-breeze) we've had
in Melbourne since late December. Temperature 19.7, dew-point 8.1
last time I looked. (I think this is the first time the dew-point has
been below 10 this year, which is probably a record of some kind, but
I haven't had a chance to check this yet).
On other matters, Canberra's mean max for January is currently sitting
on 32.1, and Wagga's on 36.2 (the Wagga figure is particularly
notable as it's only had one day below 33 (average for January is 31.2),
although that may change). The January records are 31.7 (1979) and
36.0 (1981) respectively. (The former Kooringal site at Wagga has
had a 39.2 (1908) and 37.7 (1939); both were hot months, but the site
seems hotter than the present one and the 1908 figure looks pretty
dubious - the 1939 one seems believeable). I suspect both may end up
falling just short of record territory.

Hey Ben from Brisbane here ..
I am adding a "Severe Weather Stories" section to my education section at
NEMAS (www.nemas.net/edu/index.htm) and i'm wondering if anyone on the list
has any Severe Weather Stories that they would like to add to it? Storms,
Floods, Fires .. anything Severe Weather related, no matter how long, small
or uninteresting you think it is, i want it! :)
You can post them to the list, or email them to me at Bodie19 at eisa.net.au
BTW My ICQ # is 24033071

Since my last posting on Monday evening (18 Jan 1999 18:17 +1100) when
I identified a nice almost-circular anvil in the vicinity of Pt.
Hedland, I've be downloading every global visual satpic each hour and
keep assembling them into an animated gif using "whirlgif" software.
Needless to say, it makes a spectacular movie of the days since in the
life of world weather from GMS5. Those storms that Ben has identified
have been growing larger and stronger each day. Anybody up there for
some great storm pics?
P.S. I hope the locals are safe...

Howdy all...still waiting here...
got a question for laurier.....and one for the whole group.
Has anybody noticed how maximums and minimums seem to occur around the same
time?
For example...the last 3 days here the minimum temp has occurred exactly at
6.27am every morning...and it has been
18.1 - 20.0 c
19.1 - 20.3 c
20.1 - 20.5 c
And I noticed that the maximum seems to also follow suit...? I have a
weatherlink prog set for archive every 1 min...so it cant be that....
Just seems interesting! What do you esp think Laurier?

Hi All,
Nice sound in the NE at the moment. I THINK they call it thunder. Some
lightning static on the radio. Heavy cumulonimbus approaching.
Some anvils appearing. Here's to turning blue once again.
At 2.00pm ESDT 26.5C, 1014 and dropping, 25%, NE 5-10 Knots.
Terry.

Unfortunately, Broome suffers from the "tropical storm syndrome" that
is, it doesn't have a good jetstream. Therefore the storms will grow
very quickly, and momentarily possibly be severe, but then they'll
collapse on top of themselves with the lack of the jet. This is one
reason why Brisbane has most of it's severe t'storms in Nov/Dec - as
it's the time when heat and moisture exchanges are at it's maximum, and
also the time when we can get a good jetstream.

Michael, you really should become a meteorology psychologist. Fancy
suggesting that I scare storms away - he he. You should work for farmers,
as they would really appreciate it. Yes I was telling Michael Bath that
this has been another s... season. But as soon as I go back to school,
supercells will move LEFT. Straight over us.

Hello Ben.
The weatherlink program is one bought through Australian geographic. It
hooks up to either the Weather Wizard monitors made by Davis or the Weather
Monitors (made also by Davis) These retail through Australian Geographic.
It is an excellent program, because u are able to adapt the amount of data
you want stored...anywhere from 1 minute to 1 day. I have mine set at one
day with 1 hourly downloads (automatic)...and the prog logs all data to
produce min, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly & yearly climate bulletins, as
well as rainfall, daily weather "monitors" and strip & bar charts with any
data u wish to select
Its an excellent prog!
Paul
