Ben, Jim
While the onshore predicted for southern NSW looks impressive, most of the
models are tipping the big falls from NW Slopes through to the Mid North
Coast with the heaviest falls around the Tamworth area. This makes sense as
the air on the south coast of NSW is quite dry. In contrast dew points
across southern QLD are fairly healthy. The upper progs have a very punchy
jet max moving across the QLD/NSW border region, supporting a NW Slopes rain
event. But the NSW south coast looks certain to receive gale force winds and
consequent huge seas. One thing we would all agree on is that it's not a
good weekend for a round of golf if you're an office bound Sydneysider.

Hi all,
That was a very interesting report (at the BSCH) on the Oct 20 storm. My house
is 2 kms from the eastern boundary of the airport and I got about ten or fifteen
minutes of very heavy rain (sorry I don't have a rain gauge), with infrequent
lightning (as reported by Anthony). It was only sheet lightning to me as I was
sitting on my back porch and surrounded by buildings. Most of the lightning was
quite feint and I couldn't really tell the direction is was coming from because
of the buildings that surrounded me, but they SEEMED to be coming from an area
south of me. One particular strike got my attention though, which was distinctly
brighter than the others, and seemed to appear from the NNW, possibly around
Redcliffe.
What I find surprising, though, is the very close proximity of the reported
storm to my house. I saw infrequent sheet lightning, as I said, but I heard no
thunder, whatsoever. Anthony reported the approximate peak time of the storm as
12:30am, and admittedly, I cannot remember precisely what time it was while I
was watching the lightning, but I know it was around midnight. Even if I'd gone
to bed, I'm sure I'd have heard lightning striking just two or three kms away!
I feel like I've been ripped off!
Marty.

Ben, I don't have all the SPECI and half-hourly obs to hand, but the
following would indicate that the 70mm fell over a longer period:
00.30 EST: previous 10 mins 15.8, cumulative since 9am 15.8 (!!!)
03.15: 1.6 and 49.0
03.30 8.6 and 66.6 (with the second storm)
With 73mm being the 9am 24 hour total, I don't believe the 70mm in
15mins figure.
By interesting comparison, the No 2 AWS (not sure of its exact
location relative to the main AWS) reported
00.30 1.0 and 2.4
02.30 1.0 and 6.2
Point Lookout on North Stradbroke Is reported a 9am total of 82.4.

ASWA,
The Friday 12 Z meso LAPS and the Friday 00 Z GASP models
agree on the formation of an East Coast low near Sydney
by Sunday morning (LT). Of more interest to us, of course,
is: what do our pet storms get out of it?
(+24)Mesolaps has an 850mb moisture axis running NW-SE
peaking in SE QLD with dewpoints of up to 10 C by
Saturday night. The (+24) omega fields add decent lift
to the situation in SE QLD (inside the moisture)
and central southern NSW (outside the moisture as
time goes on). The model responds to all this by
giving E NSW a decent soaking; so (handwave handwave)
staying N of that raincooled air-to-be can't hurt.
Mesolaps predicts strong onshore flow S and SW of the
developing cyclone, with along-shore northerlies
along the SE QLD coast making low-level moisture
flow inland a bit of a concern. The 12Z AVN has
a 500mb vorticity maximum hanging back in NW NSW associated
with NW flow over the area of interest.
The AVN thinks that the flow will de decent (~50 kts at 500mb).
Brisbane's Friday evening sounding shows some decent shear
and low-level moisture, but also mid-level moisture.
I cooler air gets advected around the apex of the 500mb
through to the W and if the low-level moisture stays and
if..if..if... then, who knows...
I don't, Harald
<\ramble>

Looking at the latest satellite pic on Weather 21 it appears that Dubbo is
west of the main cloud band, if so than this may indeed be an ideal target
area, from Dubbo you will be able to see further north if that's where the
action forms. Coonabarabran sounds like a good target area too. The trough
may however be a bit too far NE, I would like to be around Toowoomba.
Here in the Illawarra at 10.45am we have had only two light periods of rain,
the wind is about 10-15knots from SE, certainly nothing exciting yet. The
radar indicates that the rain is coming in from the NW and Sydney seems to
be as good as anywhere at present. The winds will increase and if they stay
SE, rather than straying too S than the Illawarra has the chance of some
decent orographic assisted totals. If the wind goes too S than the mountains
behind Kiama act as a surprisingly effective rain shadow creator.

There are some pics, but the reproduction is dreadful. I will scan and place
on a temp web page. There is also a damage path map that indicated a very
long path.
The book also contains an article on the Hailstorm on New Years Day 1947.
The Headline for this one goes -
Hundreds Injured
Windows Smashed
If I get a chance I will type out the article.

I have placed the newspaper pics on a temp web page. This is not intended as
a public web page as it obviously contains copywrite pics. It is for
educational purposes only and will be removed in a week.
At the next ASWA NSW met we may have a go at getting somebody to read the
article, young eyes may do the trick !

Looks promising with upper temps at -17 (500) for Moree and surface dew

Thanks Andrew, Blair, Laurier and others. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed
to get a nice little Subaru 4WD for our next car :-( , had to settle for
a Korean car instead, at least its new. Looks like the bike is a way off
now too, bummer. Oh well, sounds like we might get a nice little drive
out of our holiday anyway. Here's hoping January 1-7 will be full of
thunderies. I'll take the new camera.

Jimmy and James Harris are heading north, just out of Dubbo. They've just
come out of the rain band and can see large storms all around. Radar shows
a severe looking storm halfway to Coonabarabran so they are very well
placed to see some major action.

As it looks like being an intereseting weekend, I'm putting up a
sequence of detailed 3-hourly synoptic charts for NSW/Vic at
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~wbc/aussiewx/ to help track the low and
rain areas. They show pressure isobars and rainfall isohyets, as well
as full station plots. There's a help file if you've forgotten how to
read the station plots, and the file names for the charts are in EST.
The Latest_Isallobars_and_DP chart analyses the latest 3-hour pressure
rises (blue lines) or falls (red lines), useful for predicting likely
movement of the low, as well as dew point. Chart time is in the bottom
left corner -- ignore the "z" as times are EST not UTC.
The rainfall figures and isohyets are for the previous 3 hours at 00,
06, 12 and 18EST, for the previous 6 hours at 03, 15 and 21EST and for
the previous 24 hours at 09EST.
I'll try to get up the latest chart 30 to 60 mins after obs time, tho
you may have to wait longer for the 00, 03 and 06 ones ;-)
Here at Blackheath I've had 18mm between 5am and 2pm with steady
moderate rain. Temperature fell from around 11 at 5am to 6.8 now at
2.45pm.

Jimmy and James are at Gilgandra. The storm activity has made it mostly
cloudy there and they are watching CGs just to their north. With radar
showing extensive storm activity streaching north from their location, and
towards the NW, and the trough still to the west, they should see some action.

Of the 9 to 3 rainfall reports in so far, Dubbo AP had the highest
with 22mm, though only 17 in the city. Glen Innes and Narara, north of
Gosford, had 21, Barraba 18 and most of the rest of the state apart
from the far west and northeast had between 5 and 15.

Tocal Ag College near Paterson in the lower Hunter Valley came in with
36mm 9 to 3. The observer's comment was "continuous heavy rain all
day" -- no mention of thunderstorms in this or the past weather codes.
Interestingly, Maitland, Newcastle and Williamtown only had 12 to 18mm
in the same time. Methinks the higher country to the NW of Tocal may
have had something to do with this, and there could be some good falls
on SE facing slopes when the detailed 24-hour falls come in.

Hi all
It looks like Texas has been hit really hard if radar is anything to go by.
Watching the local Moree radar, maximum intensity is passing through the
town, which is just on the Qld side of the border. There is a STA out for
NW NSW, but it is unfortunate that areas such as Texas in the Qld Southern
Interior can't be warned for...yet.
The Lightning tracker has absolutely gone off as the storms have made their
way into tracker range. At 5pm EST there were only 19 new strikes (in last
5mins) while at 5.16pm there were 147 new strikes, with 80 recent (between
5-10mins ago).

I've been out for about an hour watching the storms move into my region on
the north coast of NSW. With the moonlight, the approaching system seems to
have very high tops, but the lightning is unfortunately quite infrequent -
perhaps only every 2-3 minutes. But each time it goes off, the whole line
of storms lights up - probably for about 200ks in length. Quite spectacular
but not good for photography.
The cell on the northern flank has been into the red on radar for a while,
but it is not producing much lightning either, and there is no warning for
it. Maybe its too imbedded in other shower activity to be visible?
regards, Michael

Hi all,
Narelle (ASWA member) phoned me at around 8pm this evening to report a
severe t'storm at Stanthorpe. They received marble to golf ball sized
hail, that covered the ground a few inches thick. They also received
torrential rain and gales, and parts of the town are without power.
I've phoned in the reports to the QLD BoM, who were most appreciative.
This cell has been in the pink/red for about 4hrs on radar now, it gave
the town of Texas a hiding earlier on today, and now looks to give parts
of NE NSW a bit of a lashing too. It had originally branched off the
main line of storms and moved ENE, while all the others moved ESE.
However now it's taken on a EESE path once again.

Hi all
I've recorded 33mm of rain from 9am to 9pm today, with about
15mm of that after 6pm. The heaviest falls started around 6-6:30pm and we had 1
really intense downpour about 8:45pm(yellow on radar). There are numerous
branches down around the streets and overflowing drains but nothing
major.
The radar looks good for the next few hours. Being relatively
new to the list, I'm still not sure who lives where - is there anyone in the
Southern Suburbs of Sydney or Southern Highlands and if so, how much have you
had? It seems to have been solid down there all afternoon.

See BOM warning below, 7m is over 20ft, nothing for our friends from

Wind is now 20-30knots, still just below Gale force, we are getting moderate

Michael,
Interesting to see extracts of those old newspaper reports. Actually
a chain is 22 yards, or the length of a cricket pitch. It is handy to
remember some of this trivia when reading early accounts of storms, as the
chain was a common unit of length in pre metrication days.
Regards,
Rod Aikman

I have placed the newspaper pics on a temp web page. This is not intended as
a public web page as it obviously contains copywrite pics. It is for
educational purposes only and will be removed in a week.
At the next ASWA NSW met we may have a go at getting somebody to read the
article, young eyes may do the trick !
