I think Bathurst is quite high > up.. by the sounds of it, it's in a major radar hole.. Sydney-Orange (according to my rather crude map) is about 200 km as the Crows (sorry, Adelaide) fly. If I understood Les' emails correctly this puts the radar beam/pulse into the ballpark of 5 km AGL / several km wide (for a .5 deg. scan). Anything that does not have big fat drops in a big fat volume a long way off the ground might not look that exciting on radar. That's why ASWA should send out its spies...

Well if it's the way the Adelaide crows fly you would have to put Orange around 1200 Km from Sydney :) but you would have to put just as many stops on the way there also. It is actually about 255Km by road to Orange Adelaide's number 1 crows hater :) Astroman +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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------------------------------ 005 Date: Sat, 27 Nov 1999 09:47:20 +1100 From: Ben Quinn [bodie at flatrate.net.au] X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (Win95; I) X-Accept-Language: en To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Subject: aus-wx: Big Chase Update Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hey Ben from Brisbane here.. Not much happening at the moment, but i thought i would let ppl know where the chasers are at the moment.. Anthony Cornelius, Jimmy D and the crew are at Cunnamulla, and will stay put and chase around that area (or maybe further SW) today.. they are probably in quite a good spot for some action.. Matt Smith and James Harris are currently heading towards Nyngan in the Upper Western (i think) district of NSW, and will more than likely head for Bourke.. Jane and Clive were heading for Moree an hour or so ago (probably there by now).. Satellite pictures are horrid at the moment with plenty of cloud.. but the main cloud band has cleared cunamulla and bourke/Nyngan, with only low and mid level cloud behind it (which does appear to be breaking up in some parts).. and there is some development in SW QLD and NW NSW..

We will more than likely head to Bourke, going by the sat pics (Bit of a clearing in the cloud band) and AVN forecasts. Hopefully some isolated activity will form, we will see i guess. I think it is unlikely we will follow the trough anywhere inland further than Bourke, as its just desert out that way. Hopefully we can meet up with Jane/Clyve and the rest of the bunch who are at Cunnamulla or however you spell it. Hopefully tues/weds will bring more activity.

To the east near Mt Lambie it goes 1000m, same again west near Orange, and southeast towards Oberon. Bathurst itself is about 600-700m.

Some middle layer alto-stratus with isolated castelanus, marking the weak trough. Could just make out some Cu to the far NW. By 10.30am at Lithgow there was impressive congestus, but I was not impressed by the wind, a cool west. This no doubt was aiding the development of the congestus by lifting along the Blue Mountains rear escarpment. I pushed on to Mudgee as I hoped that it would be warmer. I have never liked storms that are isolated over high ground. To me that means borderline conditions. The road from Lithgow to Mudgee for the first 20km is not that great view wise, but after Carpertee the country opens and it is a good road for chasing, except there are no eastwards options. A Mudgee at 12.30pm and I went to the local library and checked internet, there were storms back over the Blue Mountains, plus others in a line from Bathurst westwards. There were also some echoes started to pick up north of Mudgee itself. The convection was very weak everywhere, and dread o' dread without upper winds the anvils where spreading everywhere into light rain patches. I followed a better looking cell to Gulgong, although the radio was picking static I could not observe any CG's. I decided to push further north to Ulan and the Golden Hwy junction, this road runs from the Hunter to Dubbo. The storm development had been drifting NW, not usual but I think in response to the trough development towards the NW. At the junction I had two options. To the west there were weak cells, the best was north over the Coolah Tops, the west end of the Liverpool ranges. To the east was mostly old anvils, but in a clearing spot there was a nice congestus. I drove about 10km towards Coolah, I really wanted that Coolah Tops storm as it had a visible lowering. I finally decided that this option was not reachable by decent roads. I headed back towards Merriwa. The congestus developed into a half decent storm, and at Merriwa the sky looked promising so I hung until again because of the lack of upper winds it was anvil spreading everywhere. I gave up and decided to head towards home. From Merriwa to Cessnock it was light rain from decaying anvils, I think also the south change helped some turning it into a large area of light rain. All in all a waste of time storm wise, but some good chasing territory uncovered around Merriwa, great vistas.

Well the chasers are just south of the QLD/NSW border enjoying a very photogenic squall line at the moment.. so far today they have had plenty of photogenic weather, and while i was talking to them on the phone there were plenty of "ooh's" and "aaah's" as the storm they were in front of was letting of impressive Cg's.. You can see the storms on the satellite pictures around the Bourke area.. they actually look quite nice.. there are also storms developing to their far NW (probably around the Bedourie area).. Matt Smith and James Harris met up with the main group of chasers earlier on this afternoon.. and are chasing the same storms i have described above..
