Geeze the models have really grabbed onto that low! they've gone from barely picking it up one or two days ago to absolutely bombing the crapper out of it.. and some models move it into the worst spot they could, moving onto the coast north of Brisbane in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.. unfortunately i have about an hour and a half each day to to go over the models, but from what i've seen things could get very very interesting for SE QLD.. BOM are really sounding worried in their forecasts, and after a conversation with a senior forecaster i get the feeling that they think this one could be a pretty nasty one, if everything goes to plan (wich it rarely does of course).. Just looking at yesterdays MRF run, their's a -90 height change at 120 hours in NE NSW/SE QLD! typical MRF at 72 hours+ but it's still nice to look at none the less :) MRF does the same kind of thing (-90 heights change) for an upper system and associated low off the south WA coast at 120-144 hours.. This whole system reminds me of the Febuary floods in Brisbane/SE QLD.. 22mm here overnight from periods of mostly light/moderate rain, the soudings over the past few days have shown a sure but steady increase in moisture and instability.. the weakish upper sytem moving accross western QLD as we speak should do something for us overnight or tomorrow i hope.. Michael Thompson wrote: I agree with the models and forecasting lows, I have said it before and I will say again, the NGP in particular tends to go for the big play, last year on one its longer 120 - 144 hr runs it had a 980 something low sitting bearly offshore of the NSW Illawarra coast, had it occurred it would have been a disaster. On the other hand with ocean temperatures appearing warm and the systems that we have seen in the last few weeks a East Coast low feast this year look on the cards.

NGP streamlines is forecasting 40kn winds for us on Tuesday night, and it predicting seas between 16 and 24feet. It looks that that cold air that is predicted to move over us, is going to accelerate the deepening of the low caused by a current mid-level disturbence there. AVN has gone back to predicting -85VV's... This low seems somewhat different to previous lows before...I'm thinking 24-48hrs of very heavy rainfall + flash flooding is more probable than days and days of rain...but I could be wrong. It will depend on how quickly the low moves S, as soon as the centre passes us, the weather will most likely fine up very quickly, and it will start kicking up those dreaded SW'ers... :-( Surprisingly, the best shear is on the east side, I thought the better mid level shear would be on the west side, but...that's what MRF is doing, and I'm not a big fan on MRF after 72hrs. However, as Ben pointed out before, what MRF is doing *could* actually happen this time...and it's interesting how NGP has it on a very similar path too. We'll see what happens, I think it is still a tad too far away to call with any certainty what is going to happen. As I said previously, lows aren't forecasted on models very well...if the models just have the intensity of the cold air above us overestimated, then the entire scenario can change. What I can say however, is that this will certainly be one to watch...I'm looking forward to today's run of EC, previous runs have had it out to sea a fair bit, where as all other models have it sitting on the coast.

But - it depends on the movement of the low (and that's IF it forms!) MRF has it 998hPa, about 30-40km off Brisbane at 00z Tuesday...but NGP has it still a bit further north then.

I did the trip in 1996 for a spot in tyhe Guiness Book of Records. This trip was done in September '96. We wish to try again in March 2000. What would the prevailing weather be like at that time of year around the country? We would be interested in whether it is usually raining, cold, wind direction(very important). We would be most greatfull for all info.
