Hi Michael and every1
You must be in the vicinity of rainfall at the moment These are going to
slowly move through and give some rain or even heavy falls locally. I like
these situations and was urging the cb to come onshore and it is
co-operating. It should take off again intensify as it nears the ranges

Hey Andrew! I'm always amazed when someone else from SA posts to the
group. At least up at Paralowie you get more storms than down here in town
(not counting the frontal ones of course...).
Maybe a chase next summer? (I never thought I'd see myself type that!)

Yes, I like it when the models get it wrong, or make a last run update, It
started raining here about 7am and is still raining as I write 10.25am, not
heavy at the moment, but moderate. At dawn there was Cu over the ocean, so I
feel that heavier showers may be embedded.

Hi Jimmy here again,
We have a nice cb developing over to the E and this had scuds rising into
it I also saw some fresh crisp tops and some pilleous
I think there are some heavy falls in some suburbs I hope it doesn't
sideswipe us as it normally does I was hoping it comes directly from the E.
To the SSE there is the northern end of Michael T's cloud band and cb's In
between there is a gap and guess who is on the edge of that gap

has some reasonable structure. It is developing as it approaches and the

the rain this way anf towards his area.

Interesting story there...
We had what is sometimes called "Sago" snow, or snow pellets on an
October day here last year in Blackheath. It was around four degrees at
the time with a brief dip to around 3. It was moderate for short periods
and persisted throughout the day. Stayed on the ground in protected
areas for an hour or two.

Blackheath had days in the 97/98 summer in the low 30's. we even had a
couple of days nudging 35, extremly hot for here! Milder this year
though, the rain tended to keep summer temps around 15-21. we did have
some hot days but rarely high 20's.

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
Pretty quiet day today, after a fairly active few days - lightning on the
tracker for 30+ hours straight.. getting up to around the 50 mark at
times.. and pink intensity on the radar in some of the local storms.. Looks
like most of the action will be north of Brisbane today, some of the models
have very weak upper level action hanging around north of Brisbane for a
few days so maybe we'll see something worthy of a picture up there
today/tomorrow if the cloud stays away. Some very weak anvils floating
around early thismorning mainly to the north, though definately on a
stabalising trend (Soundings went up in a shower AGAIN today.. grrr..).
I've got my eye on a weak upper trough the models are forecasting for
Southern QLD mid/late next week, was sceptical at first being a long way
out in the forecasts, but BOM have picked it up thismorning.. so hopefully
that'll do something for us too.
If i remember correctly, we had allot of upper level systems form over
Western QLD/Central Australia that produced some good rain (it was the
wetest winter for us for many years).. hopefully this year will be the
same.

And who could forget the torrential downpoors in the Townsville area
last year in the dry season! They also had hail in some areas - it was
certainly rare for such an intense and deep upper level trough to go so
north.

I had 18mm of rain in between 10:30 and 11am, falling pretty heavily for
quite a while. I also heard thunder 2 or 3 times.

Hi Ben and all,
An excellent example is the storm I experienced in Decmember 30, just to
the W of Brisbane (1hr) I estimated an easy 30mm+ in the duration of
the storm, but we only had 16.7mm (I think, that's the approximate
figure) in the rain guage. But during the entire period of
precipitation, it was very windy - often going 30+ knots. The rain
drops were very though, and certainly not very close together. This
would bring about a possible question over whether the rain guage is
really getting an accurate measure of the rain fall? One would think
that small, very intense drops of rain would most likely be more evenly
distributed then say larger, less intense drops?
Possibly this has something to do with the way radar reflects? IE with
larger drops and smaller drops. For example - radar works on
reflectivity - the more that is relfected back, the stronger the echo
is. Is it possible that small drops of rain (however intense they are)
don't reflect as much activity as they should? This would explain why
many coastal showers in Brisbane don't show up well on radar...with my
experience of coastal showers, they're really intense small drops - and
rarely large drops. Where as thunderstorms often have rather large
drops - any suggestions/comments from the physics/radar expert guys?
As with PW values - I'm not too sure, but it would certainly depend on
how well the upper level trough 'compressed' the water in the atmosphere
into clouds. The other variables that you would have to take into
account is the moisture at the surface, and how that moisture is rising
(if it is rising) as that would certainly greatly attribute to any
precipitation that occurs.

Hey..
Yeah i remember that quite clearly. Ray Wilkie - a local weather person on
the channel Ten news up here (very very good, i've basically grown up with
the guy) said he had never seen a cold pool of air go that far north, and
then sit there in almost the same spot for days on end in his life.. he's
actually a Meteorologist too, not just a 'news presenter' like the other
channels have.
Anyone know of/have any rainfall totals for that area? I think there were
some records broken from memory..
If i remember correctly, we had allot of upper level systems form over

And who could forget the torrential downpoors in the Townsville area
last year in the dry season! They also had hail in some areas - it
was
certainly rare for such an intense and deep upper level trough to go
so
north.

Hey, me again..
Found some 24 hour figures (thanks to James Chambers) for the cold pool in
Central/North QLD, these figures are for the 31st of August 1998 - as i
said, it did linger somewhat for a few days so the totals would be much
higher than these i would say:
Rangeview Ranch: 375mm
Paluma: 348mm
Flora Valley: 334mm
Innisfail: 310mm
Tully: 121mm
Cape Trib.: 88mm
Certainly huge figures for that time of year..
There was also a severe weather warning out for parts of the Central/North
warning of heavy rain, gales and hail on fri 28th: SWW between bowen and
gladstone and on the 29th further north.
On the 31st flood warnings were current for the following rivers:
macintyre, weir, moonie, condamine & balonne river and tribuataries,
dawson, mackenzie & Isaac Rivers and tribuataries, haughton river and
coastal streams between ingham and rockhampton.

Hi all,
The news reported a "mini-tornado' to go through the Kawana area (100km
N of Brisbane) this afternoon. It was apparently a waterspout - it did
some minor damage to businesses (roller doors) and lifted a few tiles
and some tin rooves - I've been trying to ring the BoM to get
confirmation, but they've been busy for the past 10mins...
Hopefully some more info later
Anthony from Brisbane

1)The chase on the 13/3 with Jimmy/Michael B/Matt P.
2)A storm that formed just north of sydney ,
3)And pictures of a funnel cloud i observed yesterday probably just south
off sydney harbour!

OK. We will try to be there - we have a few months to get flights to
Darwin, etc
organised... and someone to look after the baby 4 a coupla weeks.
Expect 2 UK stormchasers - one male and one female - to join in the
fun.... we r
quite experienced in UK chases but this is, as they say, a completely
different
ballgame with us never having encountered pulse severe storms or
supercells!!
You, of course have your website and aus - wx to thank for this.

Hi, I'm new to the mailing list.
My name is Ryan Leeman and I'm located in NSW Newcastle.
I have a question regarding what was reported by the media as a "Mini-Tornado"
several years back. The tornado was said to have touched down in wallsend but information other than that is sketchy. Does anyone know anything about this event or even point me in the right direction for gathering info about this one.
Thankyou
