A funny moment on the IRC meeting tonight:
I ran over a million frogs tonight while on the road - after it
had rained all these frogs were on the road (i thought it was hail at first).
it rained frogs?
so THAT's why it goes green befor hail!

Yes you heard it correct! a Sydney storm!!!
At 3am 2 loud rumbles woke me up and i thought it wasnt true.. until i
somehow put some clothes on and went outside 1/2 asleep and saw 2 flashes
of lightning.. what i could observe in the dark was cloud moving in from
what looked like off the coast,very low stuff, moving considerably fast,
almost like a southerly has come in..
now 3.30am and it seems like its getting stronger!another 6 strikes
confirmed, 2 to my south but all the rest are north (Ryde area?)
Only thing is no thunder as been herad since i woke up...
3.33 and lightning is now getting more frequent with 4-5 stikes a minute to
my north.a bit of thunder heard just then, Anyway ill keep you
informed.cant tell which direction it is heading though, at a guess id say NW

Keith - we're due for more rain on east coast - such variations in SOI
are due more to local variations in Darwin / Tahiti and don't really
correlate with rainfall bursts on the NSW coast.

Hi Nandina,
I'm sticking to chasing tornados/cyclones. Much less hazardous. Chasing
nurses is not as much fun either.
(Although years ago when we used to sneak into the nurses home.) Whoops,
sorry I reminisce to much. As for all the questions I will leave that to
everybody's imagination.
Terry.

How is it proposed to keep "the list" up to date with minimal overhead
in terms of repeated manual processing? In the longer term, this could
be achieved through a WWW front end of some sort, I suppose.

Not exactly our part of the world, but some exceptionally low
temperatures in northern Scandinavia in the last couple of days;
-51.0 at Ivalo in northern Finland, and -50.7 and -50.3 (can't
remember which way around) at Karasjok and Kautokeino in northern
Norway. This is a new Finnish record, and I suspect may be a new
Norwegian record too, although I haven't seen this confirmed.
I'm trying to get hold of a synoptic chart for the event (not easy
for Europe) - would guess that there is high pressure centred over
extreme NW Russia.
If you want to see a map with numbers on it that you'll never see
in an Australian forecast, try:
http://www.fmi.fi/SAA/SAA/suomineitu.html
My Finnish isn't too great, but I think the -45 displayed there is
a forecast MAXIMUM! (of course, the diurnal range is very low at this
time of year because there would only be a couple of hours of daylight).

about 80 degrees warmer on that occasion!)

First decent thunder at Lindfield at 0306 spaced at about 30 sec
intervals, this interval decreased to about 10 secs within 15 mins and
then died away by 0345. Only reason I know this is because it woke
No.1 son (Matt) who decided that it was a good idea to wake up mum and
dad to let them know that he was awake also:-) Only 15mm of rain fell
which was about half of what fell yesterday morning in another

Hi Everyone,
keep a watch on the Northern Tablelands, Western and South-West regions
today as there seems to be a cloud free region which will allow for
surface heating. There seems to be a 250Hpa jet maxima just near
Adelaide and a region of divergence to the east extending up to the
northern tablelands...
Surface pressure gradients seem to be fairly weak, but with the upper
level wind there may be some active storms cells around later...

I watched the magnificent cell to the NE last night DITA (die in the
arse) once the sun went down, giving only a few CC flashes of lightning,
up at Doncaster. Although I wasn't happy that it died (although probably
happier than Jane and Andrew :-)) it did wet my appetite.
About 11pm I checked out the Foxtel satellite, which although not great
for cloud cover, certainly shows a cell when it pops up and it is
updated hourly. The 10pm picture had a huge cell over about Horsham in
western Vic. I decided to wait until the 11pm photo, which comes in at
11.20 or so, just to make sure it wasn't dying. The photo showed that if
anything it had become bigger and was moving SE.
I set off from Nth Balwyn 5 mins later and made my way towards Ballarat
along the Western Hwy. About halfway, I started to see occasional
flashes, which at first I thought I imagined, to the WSW. As usual on
the drive to Ballarat at night there was low cloud over the hills so I
was left to guess whether this new (I assume) cell was going to go off
or whether I'd have to drive to Horsham.
About the time I got to Ballarat the low cloud cleared and I was treated
to an enormous flash to the SW. The long drive to Horsham was
immediately abandoned and I looked for a signpost to Geelong (about 70km
due south). In the City Centre I finally found a road that went there,
the A300. After meandering through the suburbs, the road flattened out
then went up this hill in the middle of nowhere. By this time there was
lightning every two seconds spread over three different towers of the
storm, similar in set up to the earlier Melb. cell and I was hoping that
this hill had a place to pull over. At the very top there was a slight
area to the side which was perfect. The view was incredible, now that I
wasn't concentrating on driving I realised, how much the lightning was
going off. There were magnificent blue, white and green CCs and plenty
of CGs mixed in as well. The clouds were enormous and you could see the
lightning trace through from top to bottom illuminating the whole cell.
After a while watching this, I decided to get a bit closer and get soime
photos. However, once again the low cloud came in and my view was
obstructed. I thought as I got closer to Geelong that these clouds would
nick off but that wasn't the case. The lightning was quite vivid and it
was eerie looking at it through, basically, fog (I think Michael
Thompson had this experience on one of his chases). I got to Geelong
eventually, not in the best of moods, and decided to head back along the
Princes Fwy towards Melbourne. I got to the Little River turnoff and
realised that the sky above me was quite clear. I found a dark road away
from traffic and turned the car to face SW. Although not a great view
the lightning was still clearly visible. It had decreased in intensity
aby about 30% but was still quite spectacular. I watched this for about
30 mins then decided that if I'm going to chase or go to Mt Dandenong
Thursday night I better get home. I got home at 3.45am and looked out to
the SSW from my balcony and I could still see lightning at fairly
regular intervals. Total distance travelled about 260kms.
This was more a chase to see lightning rather than get too close to the
storm to see whether anything exciting was happening underneath it. In
my experience, blue and green lightning, esp. green, shows that the
storm is severe and also that hail was probable in this storm. The cloud
tops were certainly high enough and the storm certainlt maintained
itself for a few hours.
Good luck chasing tonight to all on the list, it looks as though the
entire South and East coast could get some action this evening. I'll see
the Melbournian ASWA chapter up on Mt Dandenong.
An addition to the list, my phone no. is (03) 9859-1750

Hi everyone. Just went up to Doncaster S'town to see what was around.
There is a Cb over about Ballarat/Ararat to the WNW. There is also
plenty of build up over the ranges particularly over Lake Mountain/ Mt
Donna Buang. It is very humid (for Melbourne) today and things look
about 2 hours more advanced than this time yesterday so hopefully we get
some action and that the storms don't DITA (die in the arse for the
uninitiated) around sunset again.
See you Melbournites up at Mt Dandenong, 7pm as I recall.

The latest radar suggests that things are firing up beautifully - a
near-continuous line from Portland to Renmark (SA), and more isolated
cells in the vicinity of Ballarat and Hamilton.
Not surprisingly, a severe thunderstorm advice has been issued for
a wide range of districts - basically the entire state except for
Gippsland and the northeast.

So far the cell seems to be staying north of Melbourne - out beyond
Whittlesea. Not much else around at the moment in the Melbourne area,
but the western Victorian band is moving steadily eastward, and its
southern end is intensifying with large areas above 100 mm/hr.

Nandina, you are right to raise this issue and please don't stop
because the sustained operation of both ASWA and "the list" is
critical to the mutual success of both.
If I may air a personal view...ASWA came into being as a formal
organisational idea because of "the list" which in turn can only exist
in this nature because of the internet media; in the sense of the
internet being a specific communication media. Further, the internet
by its very history and nature, is autonomous and pervasive while
becoming ubiquitous and egalitarian each day it exists into the
future. This is important to remember.
ASWA (when it happens for real) actually formalises a desired aspect
of "the list". That is, a desire for some to move out of the autonomy
that "the list" offers. That doesn't, in my view, remove any "power"
from "the list" at all. To the contrary, such formal existance gives
more credibility and focus to that aspect of "the list". This is
something that many other internet lists lack with the end result that
their members become bored, leave and old topics are regurgitated time
and again.
So it is important that ASWA exists together with "the list" and "the
web", because with the help of its WWW front-end (evolving from
australiansevereweather) with additional ASWA funding, some more
services can be added such as training modules and specialised
facilities that will attract new membership to both "the list" and
potentially ASWA. This can also help "the list" from going over too
much old territory each time a new member is added. That's important
for keeping the old-timers interested rather than falling asleep with
their finger on the key.
If there is a danger from "other channels" or "other branches"
diverting interests, this would only occur when the people involved,
for some reason or another consider that other groups or people would
not be interested or could possibly contribute. Our chosen subject,
"aussie-weather" with an emphasis on severe weather, by its very
nature, observes no human-made boundaries and so political or
organisational boundaries are irrelevant to the subject. These exist
purely to our meet human needs, not the weather. This is why the
internet is such an important media and why it is proving so
successful at bringing people together with a common interest. I see
other channels and branches bringing a greater scope, coverage and
sustainability to the entire subject.
If you doubt how good is the choice of the internet as the chosen
media for uniting a common interest in severe weather, consider what
you would do when that next tornadic supercell, observing no state
boundaries, calves a path of destruction across those very state
boundaries. If people arn't madly typing "Tornadic Supercell heading
for..." all over aussie-weather, I'd be sending an "unsubscribe
aussie-weather" given the first opportunity. I don't think that will
happen while people with a genuine interest in the subject mainly
populate "the list".

Hey Don. I certainly will put up the figures when I get some!
And today was the day! We had very heavy rain this morning between 3am - 7am
receiving a total of 30mm in that time. My weatherlink prog showed that at
the height of the heavy rain we were receiving 2mm per min, making that a
120mm per hour rate - which is reasonably heavy! During the day we have now
had 27.6mm taking the total for 3am - 3pm today to 57.6mm - our largest fall
all month with heavy falls predicted tonight. Our monthly total now stands
at 138mm, which means we are now above average for this month - JUST. Looks
likely that even heavier falls tonight, so will keep u informed.

At present there is a small break in the escarpment Cu and there is sky blue
anvil, must be a hell of a storm out near Goulburn.
A visual observation on the pushbike home has led me to believe that there
appears 2 distinct cloud patterns working at present. Over the ocean we have
tall congestus which is running parallel to the coast, these are located
about 50 kms SE and are growing into Cb as they get further down the coast.
Towards Jervis Bay they look quite impressive. As the reach Cb stage they
appear to be shearing towards the SE. In fact the middle layer stuff is all
heading SE. This means that we may get something from that large anvil mass
after all, here's hopeing.
By the way there was some heavy rain around 8am this morning in this area,
from the N/NE. I got drench on the pushy.
The whole situation reminds me of last Saturday night !
More of that in the next message.

Canberra is currently 6.00pm experiencing a storm. It arrived from SE
at around 5.00pm. Some impressive base lowerings and
shelf clouds during initial stages. Otherwise storm's most notable
feature is the heavy rain which it brought as precipitation commenced.
Weather now has settled to a period of moderate rain.
Visibility restricted during day by low level cu and stratus so

Hi everyone.
Jimmy here. Just read all the e-mails. Great to see action happening.
I am quite interested in the action in Western Victoria as it reminds me of
the ideal north south line situation. In early 1997, there was a supercell
with a similar line in the same area and this was most probably F3 in
strength. This line also occurred in November 10th 1997 although I don't
know what happened with that lot. I hope Paul Yole is after these cells
from the rear end. He has all the choice in the world and a great road
network. It would be great to see what the weather conditions are like.
See what happened.
Sultry stinking humidity here in Sydney. I mean in the goos sense.

Well I could not think of another title.
The area of dark anvil has now filled the entire western sky, but has not
really got any closer. Unfortunately the affect so far has been to bully
aside the promising coastal action congestus. It is looking very lame E and
NE.
Probably should get a lightning show from the western stuff, but I am in two
minds whether it will move further east than it is now.

Hi Jimmy here again,
I have loaded a satpic which I think shows an interesting storm developing
in west Victoria. Check out the arrow pointing to the correct storm

Hey all. The weather here now has turned real funny. Wind is picking up in
intensity from the NE, and it feels almost like an ECL starting off. I
realise that there is a Low over head (as described by Nat Jeffreys on NBN
weather tonight) which is causing the mid level & upper level disturbance -
but what is the chances that this instability to form a ECL say off Taree /
Coffs harbour Costal areas? Wind is quite sharp when reaching maximum
gusts..........could be something or could be nothing? What do other people
think?

There were storms in the Seven Hills Blacktown area from 3.30 to 4 am today
(28th).
Extensive low cloud moving from the southeast. At 7.30 am there was high cloud
moving from the northwest across Sydney but there were massive cumulus congestus
columns just off the coast moving from the northeast so I'd say the storms moved
roughly southward and dissipated rapidly. Only 5.6 mm of rain all night.

Hi all.
The way things are shaping up, Friday might be ok around Sydney, maybe
better in the Hunter. The 200mb jet level seems to have something in
it over these areas as well.
As for Saturday, I think Michael T pointed to this a few days ago:
Perhaps we could, very tentatively, plan a chase probably to the area
around 4 hours west of Sydney. Going by AVN, Saturday looks very
promising around the Forbes region in the central west of NSW - Lis
within the -8 contour and a 90-100knot jetstream which would be very
favourable for strong/severe storms. The bureau have the front going
through that area a bit too early for my liking (thats probably what
will happen) so I guess we'll see. This is also the case for Vic
tomorrow: the BoM have Bendigo on the wrong side of the trough early
on in the day while the AVN I just looked at (for 5pm) has Lis way
down around -7 for that area so it will be interesting to see what
actually happens so far as us gauging Sat..
David
PS I hope Paul Yole chased his own backyard area of Victoria this
afternoon as that corner was probably the area where conditions may
have given supercells a chance to develop.

Hey all. Well for us Eastcoasters in NSW looks like it may be a very wet
next 10 days according to the US cola models. the 10 day % is for some
places up to 600% of normal...which is very interesting. What normal is I
dont know (for eg it may only be 10mm ! hehehe) but certainly looks very
promising rain wise. May be some flooding along the coast.What do you think

Just about everybody now has the front going thru way too early, late Friday
in many areas. I dare say its the same system that is tearing thru Victoria
at present, and it is no slouch. Saturday now looks like a poor prospect
anywhere within 6-8 hours of Sydney.
Friday on the other hand has become a lot more interesting, I will be
placing my hopes in the Goulburn - Bowral - Picton area.
The level of cloud will be a worry, the storms on the ranges west of
Wolloongong are dieing rapidly and already the coastal rubbish is once again
building. I would not mind betting that Sydney and Illawarra chasers are
woken by thunder again in the wee hours. Ijust hope some clearing occurs mid
morning, although it is highly unlikely.

Potential is there for anything. The cola is quite interesting as past
performance often not far from the mark in these situations. Here's
hoping for interesting weather... keep those rainfall figures coming in
(esp a 24 hrs to 9am figure)

Everyone on the list,
There was a funnel cloud reported at or near Ballarat! More information
should come in tomorrow or later tonight.
I received this report from Jane and company on Mt Dandenong. They are
having a ball and are video taping and photographing a lightning show.
Great stuff.

I am interested in seeing if turther west there was some even better action
near Hamilton. Will see tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if there may have
been a tornado in that region. the satpic was really looking ominous.

Hi don
This was out the Lake Times Wednesday Jan 27th, a weekly paper down here in
the southern Illawarra. The vent occurred sometime on Saturday night 23rd
January 1998. There was no doubt about a storm in the area, the lightning I
saw was quite constant.
Parts of the article are below.....
" A wall of water, three quarters of a metre deep, swept into the back of
John and Kim Sultana's new home at Gerringong late Saturday night. Theirs
was probably the worst affected of several homes in Gerringong's Sandy Wha
estate to have a deluge of water pour through doors and ventilation points
to flood their floors. Home owners were left desperately trying to lift
furniture and other valuables above the water..................Close to 200
mm of rain fell in the Gerringong are a that night, mostly between the hours
of 11.30pm and 2am Sunday morning. A storm centre with thunder and lightning
seemed to centre on Gerringong for those hours........"
If you need to contact the paper their E Mail is
lteditor at magna.com.au
