Hey All,
WE ARE BACK!!!!!! Chris and I arrived home at
1:20am after driving a mammoth 1020km today. We got as far North as
Deniliquin and saw about 8 or so different storms. Bloody awesome chase
day. Only 2 bad things. Lack of wind shear and too much rain/low
cloud on the way home obstructing the lightning. Oh yeah and a third -
some absolute morons on the roads.
Full report in a day or two (or three or
four).
THanks to those who rang with radar updates - much
appreciated.
Andrew McDonald.

Andrew, I don't think that wind shear was the real problem. I think the
cloud mass that developed rapidly over the target area was the problem as
storms did not develop with the best heat source. The storms in W Vic
around Mildura developed quite well in nuch less shear. I believe anything
that could have developed around you would have been great. A 70-90 knot
jet a 300hPa was expected and I think 30-40knots at 500hPa. Not excellent
shear but sufficient for good cells to develop.
Oh well these things happen. One mistake was I should be checking the upper
level moisture to see if a cloud mass is expected to develop.
Nevertheless, you got 8 storms which is great.

Hi everyone,
Bendigo's northeastern suburbs of White Hills, and East Bendigo,
received a decent downpour between 7-8 pm last night. At the Bendigo
Airport, 47 mm was recorded in the hour, with 33 mm being recorded in 30
minutes. Flash flooding inundated several houses in the vicinity of the
airport, and in one house water was 30 cm deep. At my house in central
Bendigo, I only recorded 14.6 mm in the same time frame. Unfortunately I was
attending a family function in Wedderburn (75km away) at the time, and was
not able to witness the Bendigo storm. At the same time Wedderburn also
experienced a storm, however the rain was no where as intense. It was also
difficult to view developing storms due to all the mid-level cloud present
at the time.
Rod Aikman,
Bendigo, Vic.

I notice Melbourne AP has had 77 mm to 8 am - that must be pretty close
to a record if correct.
Any collaboration from Victoira observers and when did it all fall?

Hi paul,
Your not wrong! Most of us here in central Queensland have really
copped it, for weeks that is! Early this morning it really came down, it was
the cat and dog variety. Surprisingly, latest figures(i doubt it) reported
Proserpine 31mm, Hamilton island 22mm and Mackay just 6mm, these must be old
figures or a result of a very big cloud over Airlie Beach. Maybe someone
might be able to update me on these figures. I am quite confident they will
differ considerably from mine.
The system responsible for the rain has moved inland just behind
Mackay and has caused quite a stir with strong Ne winds now tending more
North Westerly. More heavy falls and Isolated Thunderstorms are expected
today with fine weather and Sw/Nw breezes by Wed. No storms yet though, and
i suppose even if there were they would be the GARDEN VARIETY TYPE,
impossible to see too, with all that lovely scud and crap around.
Regards,
James (Qld)

I don't thinbk there was too much probl;em with heating - I thin you'll find
Swan Hill (our area) got to 30C with a DP of about 18C.......(anthony - a
cape proggy for when you get back - thanks). It was very warm around Barham
too - the whole area was clear.

Bayswater received 23mm in an hour last night & a further 28.5mm from 9pm to
8am this morning.
Spent the last couple of days wandering the western central area of
Victoria. Had trouble having Christmas lunch - always seemed to manage to
park under electrically active cells - couldn't do more than leap out of the
car, amke up a bread roll & leap back into said car. Saw the *best* cg
while on the phone to Ray Kollmorgen at severe wx (not sure who was
reporting to who on Xmas Day ). Spent yesterday seeking, finding &
reporting flash flooding to Ray.
Many thanks to Claire McDonald & her dad for the updates & also to Ray for
his help.....and to S Claus for allowing me the chance to storm chase on
Xmas Day

In relation to the airport recording, they had a
storm over there yesterday that was red/pink on radar at about 4 in the
afternoon and because they are so slow moving they are dumping lots of heavy
rain. Another much larger but somewhat weaker cell was heading for that
area last night when Chris and I were driving home at 1am (we watched lightning
from this cell for about half an hour) and that would've dumped another decent
fall on the area. When we drove through the Rockbank/Deer Park area (near
the airport) there was water all over the place and that was before the later
storm.
Rod Aikman - We drove through Bendigo twice
yesterday and also through Weddeburn (which had a nice storm at around 7-8pm -
the one you were talking about). We could actually see the cell sitting
down over the Bendigo area and it did look more intense than the one near (over)
Weddeburn.
Another interesting thing to note is that the
Loddon River is flooded today - we drove over it in 4 different spots
yesterday and the last time we did it looked bloody high. And the coastal
streams on the Otways - I think this could be referring to the Anglesea River
and Pankilac Creek (at Airey's Inlet). I was down there last week and both
were well above normal levels and the sand bars which normally allow the water
to break through are still a fair bit higher than the water level. I'll
check this out when I go down to Apollo Bay tomorrow.
BoM are going for 21C and thundery rain today (from
what I just heard on the radio). AVN has LI's of -4 over melbourne this
afternoon and CAPE of about 1200...... Could be our 3rd thunder day in a
row.
Enough....

Hi all,
Just confirming the figure of 77mm in Tullamarine. According to Bom guy
on radio this morning this rainfall is a December record for Melb.
Airport (records only 20-something years old). Approx. half the fall was
in the early hours, 5:30-6:30am. As Rod Aikman mentioned there is
considerable flooding in central Vic. with the worst areas being around
Maryborough, and the Loddon R. is still rising. For all those cricket
fans I'm happy to report a decent bout of sunshine in Melb as I type
this, but the chances of rain throughout the day are still high.
I thought I might head North of Melb. today for a chase, possibly into
the Riverina district of NSW if need be. If any other Melbournians are
interested let me know, or if anyone thinks this is a bad/good strategy
I would like to hear from you.
Phone me on 94577647/ 0407546988 (note new mobile no.) or e-mail ASAP if
interested in chasing
Greg Browning,
Viewbank

Hi all, some heavy rain in the last 24 to 48 hours around
Melbourne and the North central districts in particular. we only had 26mm to 9am
here in Kilsyth, but some suburbs had much heavier totals, Warrandyte had 96mm,
Melbourne Airport 77mm (110mm in the last 48 hours) this may be a December, 24
hour record for the airport. Other falls in nearby country areas were
Maryborough 99mm, (their monthly average is 36mm) flash flooding there
overnight, apparently most of this fell in about 3 hours.Lancefield 97mm
Kynton 85mm and Romsey 131mm in the last 48 hours. Dane

Hi every1,
Well Santa's prezzies turned up just a day late! Started off very sultry
here yesterday but towers were going up to the NE and NW. It looked like
getting very messy very quickly however, with high humidity and a good
chance of cloud forming at all levels, so I popped into the car and headed
for the nearest dirty looking cell...
Well, it must have been the shortest chase on record because the cloud base
lowered very rapidly and suspiciously just 2 kilometres west of Wycheproof.
The lowering was swirling visibly and travelling 180 degrees to the cloud
above it...nice low-level shear! (Lotsa pix...when I post them you can help
me figure out what it was) :)
Then about 2 p.m. like Andrew, Chris et al reported, it got far to messy and
wet (no real cloud definition visible) and just fun to watch the lightning.
Much later (about 6 p.m.) we went into the centre of the low which was
surprisingly cloud free, and with the last gasp of solar insolation a "bomb"
went off! Really great cauliflower!! Got lots of pix of it too and another
odd lowering.
All in all a great day of pix and all within 10 km. of here!
25 mm. of rain here till 9 a.m. (15 mm of which fell in a storm about 3
p.m.)
Cheers,
Kevin from Wycheproof.

I stand corrected. It looked cloudy later on over the SNSW area.
The area around Swan Hill to Mildura fired up yesterday and was part of a
band of storms that were there earlier in the day. Shear was a problem over
there though.

Hi All.
Developing Tropical Low near Mackay, Qld. - Severe Weather Warning pasted
below.
Regards,
Carl.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TOP PRIORITY
SEVERE WEATHER WARNING
Issued by the Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
At 10.30 am EST on Monday the 27th of December 1999
For island communities between Yeppoon and Fraser Island
A tropical low with a central pressure of 1002 hPa is developing just
south-west
of Mackay. The low is expected to deepen this afternoon and move down to the
Gladstone area by late tonight.
Island communities between Yeppoon and Fraser Island can expect heavy rain and
wind gusts to 90 kilometres per hour overnight. Winds of this strength could
damage trees and camping equipment.
Heavy surf will develop over the next 24 hours causing beach erosion and some
salt water inundation at high tide.
The wet and windy conditions are expected to ease from the north during Tuesday
as the low moves towards the southeast.
The next Severe Weather Warning will be issued at 4.30pm today.

It remains quite humid in Sydney. Cloud is redeveloping below the main
thick altocumulus cloud layer. Rain is developing with some heavy falls
possible especially in the western suburbs and the Blue Mtns area. It is
already visible on the radar.

Hey all
Looks like Victoria is just about to go off once again. Radar shows cells
popping up around the metro area. The sun has now broken through here, and
it is looking very good.
My dad in Kerang, Northern Vic, says it is shaping up just like yesterday.
They are located right in the clear air zone and the sat pic is showing some
nice cloud tops developing up that way. It was 26.4C up there at Midday.
I've had 63.5 mm of rain out of this event in Ashwood and I think more is on
it's way.
Got some great pics of the storms in the Kerang area yesterday, will post
them when i get the chance.
Nick from Ashwood (Melbourne)

Hi all,
The latest run of GASP at http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/medr/mslpTH8.html
shows a pretty rough
week coming up for the NSW coast. (The other
models tend to take the low currently north of Fraser Island further out into
the Tasman sea.) All models seem to suggest some very cold air coming up over
Vic/SE NSW late in the week with thicknesses around or below 540...!! Some snow
is therefore a possibility over the Vic Alps and Snowy Mtns.
Here in Canberra we are getting excited that the
temp may rise to 20 tomorrow (just forecast is for 21). Also exciting is that
the sun may come out for a short while (not been seen since before Christmas).
We will no doubt make the most of the "heat" with cooler weather on
the way later on.
Over 80mm recorded in Higgins since the rain
began late on Christmas Day.
Patrick

Hi everyone,
Lots of congestus around at the moment (1:45pm), with a
developing cell just to the north west of Bendigo. Can't see the top of this
due to all the low cloud in the way.

Hi
We have had 105mm of rain in the last 12 hrs and the creek has been the
highest in the Kelsey Creek District since the 91 floods
Radio reports say it is a tropical low. There was a little bit of wind with
it and some damage to the crops.

Weisman found, using numerical storm simulations, that 15 to 20 m/s or
more of shear from the surface to 6 km is sufficient to produce supercell
severe thunderstorms.

Ok thanks for that information. I suppose though it requires higher CAPE.
It would be great to have a table or graph comparing the typical
requirements of CAPE say vs wind shear in order to produce supercells. I
mean even a rough guide. Is this possible even for just a rough rule of
thumb guide??

Hi every1,
Well, just when you thought it was safe to get back under the
clothes-line....
Today started off quite muggy, but you had the feeling that the action had
gone east, then about 2 p.m. towers went off again!! I said, "Well, they're
east so nothing much will happen." Having said that, a monster came from the
SOUTH-EAST about 5 p.m. (chased, but poor light - I'll post what I've got)
and continued to move to the NW!!!! I've lived here for fifteen years and
have never seen a TS come from the SE!!! :)) You live and you learn!
Very heavy rain with the cell and constant thunder for at least thirty
minutes...when I say constant I mean no discernible spell!!!!! Lotsa
lightning but few cgs...
Had the video out but always seemed to be pointed the wrong way...I've never
seen storms before where I had NO F&^ing idea where they were going!!!
(Probably just me though....)
Another 15 mm. in the last six hours...still pissing down...
Cheers,
A confused Kevin from Wycheproof

Hi all
Matthew Pearce from Sydney here except I'm on holidays in Forster on the mid
North Coast of NSW at the moment.
I also got a mobile phone for Christmas - YAY!
Ph number is 0417685086
Overcast middle level cloud all day today with one or two light showers this
afternoon - definitely not impressive weather. I'm also not looking forward to
driving home on Wednesday with this possible ECL developing!
Anyway, enough of my ramblings
A belated merry Christmas to all
Matthew Pearce
