OK guys and Gals.
I was first awake and there is altocumulus castellanus to the SE and S with
some moderate vertical development, more than yesterday morning. Storms
will approach from the W-SW by the looks of things.
I will check out the other parameters. My initial idea is to meet at the
Hill and then decide where to go from there. At least for once we will see
something happening somehwere.

Karen,
There is going to be a chase today with many members expected to meet. Even
for the meetings sake, come along and meet the rest. This goes for the rest
of the guys and gals that would like to know who they are dealing with.

If I recall what a storm looked like, there is one small system 30 - 40km
to my SE probably along Sydney's coast. Nothing spectacular at the moment.

There's this huge white puffy thing to the west of us at the moment.
Could that be a storm? It's just been so long.... :)
Seriously though - today is looking mighty fine. Lots of mid to high
level stuff coming through, and the skies are looking kinda unstable.
(Hope I'm not confusing anyone with these high-brow technical terms
here...)
now where's that camera...

Do you have the remnants of storm activity there. It seemed like there was

Hi Jimmy,
Fraid not. Nothing at all night till the present as far as storms. No major
developments in sight at present. Rain getting heavier but coming from
boring light grey Cu & SCU.

I would probably say that is along the trough line. Don't feel bad as the
activity is right near you and will pick up perhaps clearing later on with
another line further west for later

Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com
Hey Guys,
Just a little note to say that Blackheath got a bewdy of a thunderstorm
on Friday night 12/3 at around 6:45pm.
The heavy rain and hail (around pea size - some bigger) was a fun
experience but the lightning was much better! It was a great light show
and as I look out my window the lightning is still lighting up the sky
to the north.
Tonight, as I rounded the corner into Govetts Leap road there was a
great CG strike, (right term?) that landed somewhere in the Uniting
Church yard. Then the hail came as I was crossing the road to pick up
tonights takeaway ckicken. Not big hail but it fell as if it was really
being pushed hard by some sort of decent down draft. As soon as I got
home the air raid siren (its our local siren for everything from fires
to police matters etc - ie: because we don't have a full time station
attendant)
sounded and then a number or vehicular sirens were heard just after
that.
Silly thought?: I saw the flash of the lightning near the church(right
next to my car) and it felt like my car was glowing and then straight
after that my tyre went flat and I had to pull over - then I drove home
with it flat because the rain was just too heavy and too much lightning
to fix it then and there. Just total fluke that my tyre (steering) went
funny or was it connected? - insert alien music here. I don't know a
great deal about storms like this but the light around my car was
blinding and a great experience!
Anyway, it was great fun - except for having to change the tyre when i
got home. Shoulda seen the faces in the Charcoal Chicken store when I
ran in saying, "Whoah, did yer see that?" Apart from one or two folk,
most people didn't care.

How far was the lightning strike away?? There was a lady in the US that had
her car struck and three out of four tyres went flat

As I live on the coastal plain I have to get a headstart on the rest of you
guys. I will be heading for Picton and the Razorback lookup, from there it
will be to whatever is looking best.
I may run into some of guys later somewhere, look out for a green Nissan
Patrol 4WD. If the storms head NE into Sydney I will check the usual haunts
out.
I do not want to risk an initial drive through Sydney and to Rooty Hill,
especially if I find activity back at Moss Vale or Goulburn. It also takes 2
hours.
By the far the freeway from Picton down to Moss Vale is crappy viewing,
except at the Pheasants Nest roadhouse. The road seems to be always the
lowest thing around, but if you turn left at the Berrima Road ( opposite
direction to Berrima ) you get a great 10km stretch through to Sutton Forest
and the Illawarra Hwy, the Illawarra Hwy west of Robertson is good viewing,
although not the New England class.

Poor Susan - hope you feel real better real soon.
Stay warm - pleanty of fluids, and panadol helps. Failing that, put some heavy metal music on, get out of bed and go for it. Either way you'll either recover - or not!
Hot toddies are also good, so are Dean Koonz thrillers (? spelling)

This is what my instinct tells me too - you may have been just a 'tad' closer than you realised Lindsay. I'd think a little 'tongue' mighta taken a lick at your tyre dude.
Have you taken a really close look at the tyre/mudguard and all? .. maybe some faint scorch marks perhaps?

Susan,
I'd take Nandina's advice on the 2nd remedy - spring cleaning that hall
cupboard that you haven't touched for years to some good quality heavy metal
music as loud as your neighbours can bear, then into a warm shower when
you've worked up a sweat, then off to bed for a few hours works for me!!!

Jane and Nandina
Hrmmmm - you two sound more like partners in crime than angels of mercy!
I came home yesterday not quite sure how I got home from work and after a visit
to the quack - a couple of hits with the aspirin and assorted antibiotics, lung
opener uppers and things of similar ilk I virtually slept for 18 hours.
Couldnt breathe without the lung sprays, hurt everywhere, thundering headache,
cough cough cough. And as for working up a sweat - I already had one of those
and I could barely stand up I was so dizzy.
Anyway enough of the 'how sick Susan is' outside right now it is sort of muggy
but that could just be me - wind is pretty well still, but very dark down to
the southwest so I would expect a bit of rain and hopefully a storm later this
afternoon.

Michael, Matt, Matthew and myself were out there getting sunburnt on the
Hill. We could see action all over - West, South then North. There were a
lot of nice cumulonimbus with cumulus eager to shoot through.
Well around 2pm or so after a stop at Makkas, we headed out west towards
the mtns and observed a brief funnel on the way. At Luddenham, we parked
and observed some very nice structure for about three quarters of an hour.
Some nice bases, cgs, good laughs and the storm was edging closer. We had
some phone calls including Paul Graham and David Croan who had headed out
our way. We prompted for them to stay there. But we decided to head north
as the storm was indicating some E-NE movement.
They David Croan and Paul Graham decided to try their luck further south.
However, this storm system begam to break. We were furious as the storm had
only inched its way over the mtns to try heading into Sydney and
dissipated. Well, that was it. More cumulus developing over the mtns and
then some impressive activity over thew Hunter region and northern Central
Tablelands just to make us jeolous and upset.
Yepp. The bug has hit Sydney again. Hopefully Michael Thompson observed
activity over the Illawarra Southern Tableands area.
I would like to thank Anthony and Jane as well as anyone else who also
contacted us and gave updates. We had the support but no storms NEAR US.
Hopefully some lightning display overnight as the storms edge closer. That
will help soften our tonges!!! I don't know what or if this saying means
something but who cares.

Clocked up some serious kilometres today, thanks to poor decisions, then
reversals. At 12.30pm I left home for Picton, a tower was already going up
NW of Sydney, it had a nice slope indicating that upper winds had hold of
the top of it. In contrast there was some very nice congestus over the
Southern Highlands, but it was standing tall and straight.
At Picton and a quick call to the Sydney crew to assess the situation,
Michael Bath said he could see three towers down my way, all capped with
Pileus, I could not as I was under the anvil of one, and cirrus was blocking
my view of others. I could however see the storm NW of Sydney and it was
boiling at the back end, but probably over wilderness.
I waited a while at Razorback lookout, the earlier congestus southwards was
now forming a decent cell, though strangely with little rain. The one west
from Picton looked the goods, the north side had a dark rain free base. I
headed for this cell by taking the road to Nattai and the Burragorang
Valley, this road for the first 15km west from Picton is great for photos.
At the town of ' The Oaks' I saw what seemed to be a brief funnel, could it
be the same one as the Sydney crew saw. I should of pulled over and taken a
photo, but storm fever got the better of me, I then ran into heavy rain from
The Oaks to Nattai , and it is pretty lousy chasing territory with tall
forest. The road comes to a dead end at Nattai overlooking the Warragamba
Dam lake, small hail started to fall. I turned around and headed back to
Picton. Once back out in the open I saw that this storm had anvilled out,
there was very little fresh growth, meanwhile the storm to the south looked
like a monster.
I hit the freeway, then turned off at Mittagong, then to Bowral. On the
south side of Bowral I saw a beautiful storm to the SE, the cumulus was
quite wild looking, folding over on itself, it was easy to imagine rotation,
but I doubt it in hindsight. I continued on to Robertson, I pulled over here
for 30 mins taking some video and photos as the storm moved out to sea,
possibly just north of Nowra. A fresh line of storms was going up SW of
Robertson, I waited until a dark rain curtain appeared then I was off. I
headed S/SW via Wildes Meadow to Fitzroy Falls. From here I could see that
the storm had snuck past me, and was now just SE. With CG's close by I was
again infected by storm fever, funny how it manifests by forcing a dumb move
or decision. This next dumb decision was to follow this storm down into
Kangaroo Valley. Going down the pass and at least 2 CG's hit somewhere close
by, flash - crack stuff. In Kangaroo Valley and it was core punching
Thompson to the front, the rain was probably 100mm/hr, if not it was darn
close, it was then heavy rain for the next 50 kms east to Shoalhaven heads
and back to Kiama, although very high based and not at all severe, except
for the rain rate.
Back in the storm hole of Mt Warrigal - Shellharbour and it was bone dry !
SUMMARY OF LESSONS
- make up your mind if you want to chase tablelands or coast.
- the road west to The Oaks from Picton offers some good views, especially
for those storms that love to hug the mountains.
- forget from The Oaks to Nattai.

I was really surprised at just how quickly it fell apart. The storm
was beginning to show some ok structure and the CGs it was putting out
(the 'savage' type which flicker for a second or so) I often associate
with storm intensification.....but as soon as we got under there it
was clear that the cell was falling to bits real quick. As I said to
Paul - a fitting finale to our season.
Oh well, there seemed to be some big storms extending from the central
inland of NSW to the Illawarra coast so maybe Michael T had more luck
- another March funnel cloud even?...(that 97 one would have looked
fantastic on video).

Hi all, the same thing basically happened here in Melbourne last week,
pulse storms which die as soon as you get remotely excited about them
:-(

Hi everyone. To those in NSW, have a look at the latest JCU satellite
photo (via Jimmy and Michael's website). If you're not getting a good
lightning display you're very unlucky. Good to see the strom drought
broke to some extent.

Plenty of CGs and CCs around (and has been for the past hour), but the rain
has prevented photography. Just enjoying some action for a change.
And the storm we had today in western Sydney was really very spectacular
with three updrafts and plenty of lowerings, green tinges and CGs. It just
did not want to move into the suburbs.
