Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Interesting David, i enjoyed that. We have days up here, (Blackheath), last winter as an example, which gave us snow when it was around 2-3 degrees. One day last year, in October I think, we had snow of sorts ("sago snow", followed by falls of clear shards of ice, not hail) when it was around four degrees all day. It actually settled on the ground for a while. I can't remember the RH but it was pretty dry, relatively speaking. Lindsay Pearce.

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Yeah, wouldn't it be good to get a decent fall. It's been so uneventful this winter (so far) that I have resorted to listening to "Back in the old days" snow stories from friends at tennis of late. We've got folk that have been living here for 50 years in the club. They have told some good stories, like knee high snow in the orchards along Shipley Plateau during the fifties, six inches of snow in the eighties, and skiing on the golf course in November! And the golf course one wasn't that long ago, ten years maybe. Last year we had that decent fall in August but the wind was so strong (gale force) it blew/melted a lot of the snow and only left us with a couple of inches or so on the ground. Still, it was good fun. We had drifts of around four-six inches in our garden and against the fence. I've got the pics of that one. Minus twenty windchill or close to it, during that storm.

Almost most people on this list agree a VERY cold outbreak is VERY likely. So their forecast of 14 for Melbourne on Friday appears very strange. A cold outbreak of the magnitude predicted by the models would normally give a max of 10 (tops). Even Sydney is going to 14 on Saturday which is extremely cold for Sydney. I disagree Michael. In this case they should be doing more to alert people of the potential of very cold weather. It makes no sense to me to sit on the fence in the face of all the evidence presented by ALL the models Mark -- _____________________________________________________ Mark Hardy.

I personally believe that BOM are been conservative with their forecast maximums for Melbourne. They are saying at this stage 14 for Melbourne, but I believe 11 is a more likely maximum based on the models. But it must be considered why the BOM have to be conservative. I remember an instance 5 or so years ago when the BOM were forecasting a major cold outbreak for early May. They were predicting maximums of 10 for 3 days with hail etc. This cold outbreak died in the ass, the weather was fine and pleasant. This had a big impact on the number of people that attended the May Racing Carnival in Warrnambool. Organizers blamed the weather forecast for scaring people away from the races, attendance were down. The BOM obviously have to take a lot of factors into consideration when making their forecasts. The BOM on the radio did point out this morning that the forecast max for friday would be experienced briefly, most of the time the temp will be around 11. Highlights the fact that looking at the forecast max is not a good a indication of how cold it will be. Here's hoping they change their mines a start forecasting a sweet cold outbreak, it will be a nice change.

There are two "glitches" to the north of the Trenayr radar site, and I suspect they are the ABC Radio 2NR tower at Lawrence (738 Khz) The transmitter tower is 570 feet AMSL (above sea level) and would be probably causing this. As well there are a number of other objects around Grafton giving glitches. The 2GF transmitter to the east and the State Rail Authority tower to the south near Grafton railway station would be another. As well as the ADF tower at Grafton Airport gives the occasional blue blimp. I have checked with a number of ABC weather reporters in the area when the glitches come up and they have said the conditions have been CAVOK Ceiling and Visibility OK....or as clear as a whistle). The other spot on Grafton radar where there is a reasonably constant glitch is southwest of Dorrigo.....I would presume this is the Point Lookout VOR tower (aviation transmitter) or Majors Point or Round Mountain nearby. My assumption is that because if the radar is positioned only about 60 feet AMSL it is unable to disect or recognise metallic towers other than being a rain event hitting the ground. I would say this is the scenario. I must say I am still of the opinion that Mount Hyland behind Dundurrabin should have been chosen for the "Grafton site"....however.....the BOM I think were rushed into things after the Junction Hill storm. I tipped them off about that one too a good hour before the event from Evans Head......oh well. Kind regards Halden Boyd PS Michael Bath came down home to Evans Head last Thursday week for lunch.....we had a great time and it was excellent to meet up for the first time :) .....cheers ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 016 From: Blair Trewin [blair at met.Unimelb.EDU.AU] Subject: Re: aus-wx: Cold Snap To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 14:51:19 +1000 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com > > >Well it's two days before the forecast 'event' in NSW and it's still shaping > >up to be major but dare we believe it in the light of this winter? > > I hate to rain on people's parade - but the latest SA BoM forecast seems to > significantly downplay the strength of this approaching change.... > Actually, they're pushing it further east - Adelaide looks like it might miss out on the best of it. All models seem to be converging to thicknesses in the 530-532 range for Melbourne; not as spectacular as it can be, but still enough for snow down to 600-800 metres. All of the models that go out that far also push the cold air north into NSW on Saturday (EC has 532 reaching Bourke). GASP has a particular interesting pool with 850 hPa temperatures below 0 near the NSW/ Queensland border.

I'd still be surprised if it gets to 14 on Friday - 12/13 seems more likely to me, less if the cloud cover is unbroken.

Yes, Lindsay, I do, but not a lot. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the globals (00z run today Wednesday) have all eased off the extreme event they were forecasting, though GASP and the EC are still going for a pretty major cold snap. I agree with Blair -- things look most interesting for Victoria, with an 850hPa temp of -5 predicted over NE Vic for Sat am. Main item missing (or substantially reduced) in the latest runs is the strong upper southerly jet. The MRF basically spilts the jet into northern and southern limbs, with a void over NSW. This has the effect of reducing the surge of cold upper air over the state, but means that the 850 temps stay quite cold through the weekend while the winds turn S to SSE, so that could be interesting. For Sydney residents, Saturday morning still looks interesting. MRF has a thickness of about 537 over the Blue Mtns at 00z Sat, while GASP has 532 at that time, with a fresh SSW flow, a lot more southerly than usual for events like this. The EC has a deep slightly cut off low of 5440 at 500hPa over central NSW at 12z on Friday. I don't doubt that it'll be cold enough for snow on the Blue Mtns, but the problem will be the usual one of whether there'll be enough precip left in the system by the time the cold air arrives. The models I've seen have the rain with the front, and clearing by the time the colder air comes through, with precipitable water indices pretty low. The Illawarra high country might be interesting, with a forecast thickness of 532 and strong SSW winds making precip marginal but quite possible! I suspect that in this, as in so many marginal situations, everything will depend on the relatively minor variations from the global forecasts that exist on the day. I still think it'll be a great day for watching real-time weather, and especially looking for CVA developments in the hourly satpix. I'll be at Blackheath, stoking the fires and hoping for a dump! -- Laurier Williams Australian Weather Links and News http://www.ozemail.com.au/~wbc/ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 026 From: "Michael Thompson" [michaelt at ozemail.com.au] To: [aussie-weather at world.std.com] Subject: Re: aus-wx: Anyone think Sydney / Illawarra weather odd today ?
