Well, it's not just my site - my ISP (rubix) has been hacked over the last
couple of days & it's still going on - if you get a 403 or 404 message -
please be patient over the next couple of days while they sort themselves
out.

I've been getting the preliminary report re the Paraparap F0 slowly
organised - but can't get it there - and the Snappy is getting sorted today
so hopefully I will have video stills for you by the end of the
weekend......

Hi all,

Heavy rain here in the past 24 hours or so. We had about 80mm in the 48 hours to 3pm yesterday, with another 160mm falling in the 15 hours to 6am this morning (at Wollongbar). Some from thunderstorms. Falls between 150 and 250mm have been recorded in the catchment above Lismore in the past 24 hours.

The BoM has confirmed Halden's earlier prediction of a minor flood for the Wilsons River at Lismore:

Flood Warning Number : 2
RENEWAL  MINOR
FLOOD WARNING  For the Wilsons Rivers
BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
NEW SOUTH WALES REGIONAL OFFICE
Issued at 6:59am on Friday the 14th of January 2000

Although rainfalls appear at this stage to be easing across the Wilsons
catchment further rain is forecast over the next 24 hours.   If the rain does
not intensify, a peak of around 5.5 to 6.0 metres AHD can be expected at
Lismore.

River rises are expected in the Richmond following some heavy falls, especially
around Wiangaree between midnight and 6am this morning.  However, at this stage,
the river is expected to remain  below minor flooding.  


For further information contact the State Emergency Service

River Height Predictions

Lismore       Exceed MINOR flood level [4.2 metres AHD] 
              around 9am. 
              Peak between 5.5 to 6.0 metres AHD around 6pm 
              tonight 14/1/00. Further rises are possible if the
              rain intensifies.

Ira,

I thank you very much for confirming from the Bureau or otherside that they 
were supercells because as you know we only speculate from the structure 
and size on the satpic and also the explosive devlopment in the correct 
shear condition. I wish this sort of confirmation was more widespread!!!!

Michael
Is it Wilson River or Wilsons River? The BoM seem to refer to it as both in
their warnings. Our Australian Atlas has it as Wilson River.

Mark,

It is the Wilsons River according to all the maps I have and from all the media I have listened to this morning.  I have seen the Lismore river referred to as Wilson and Wilsons over the years, but it is "Wilsons".

There is a Wilson River just north of Port Macquarie.

More rainfall figures for Northern Rivers district for the past 72 hours to 9am:

                    12th   13th   14th

Hate to say it Marty but the most relevant fact of "chaos theory" is
unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. For forecasting, (probably)
the most important "fact" is that errors in our initial knowledge grow at
approximately an exponential rate before reaching some level of saturation
(at saturation our forecast is no better than a guess). Even with a perfect
forecast model, the initial errors will grow because this is a natural
feature of "all" dynamical system with more than 3 degrees of freedom (the
atmosphere has million of degrees of freedom).

Anyway, the up-shot is that unless we have a perfect analysis our forecasts
will always go off the tracks, the question being when. My understanding is
that estimates of the theoretical limit to weather prediction lie at about
14 days, for a perfect model with "near perfect analysis". An interesting
real world observation to support this is the diminishing pace of forecast
improvement seen in the ECMWF model (probably the world's best) since 1979.

Cheers,

DAJ

Off the topic, but the announcement was made early this morning
14/01/2000 AEST time...

http://www.msnbc.com/news/357171.asp?cp1=1

With BG as Chief Software Architech and Steve Ballmer as the CEO,
does this herald a split in the company with these two leading
each, but quite different parts? 

MicroSoft has been getting quite ruffled by the US Legal System
recently and it was rumoured that the US Government might try to
break up MicroSoft just as it did with "ma Bell". Perhaps this
manoeuvre is designed to perform the split early, willingly, 
rationally but essentially along "media/service" and "technology"
lines so that each entity is somewhat leaner and more able to 
float. MicroSoft was just too big as a single company. It might
be a bit late considering the AOL merger with Time-Warner. In
fact, entirely possible that the AOL/Time-Warner move forced
MicroSoft to make this decision. Watch this space!

Unfortunately, it might be a while before Bill's influence as
"Chief Software Architech" gives a positive impact to the 
robustness and usability of MicroSoft software products:-)

To take another view, the only reason that weather predictions
don't go for a longer time is two-fold...1) inherently wrong
at the mesoscale and 2) wouldn't be looked at if they were 
right or wrong. So in a nut-shell, it is not worth making a
better prediction 10-14 days out because of 2)...

This makes the job of climatologists an uphill battle. They
are always working in the area where uncertainties will always
outweigh facts. How could they ever be right?...Now that's
like waving a red flag at the DJ-bull  However, in support
of Choas Theory, it would say. "given two identical Earth's,
there is no certainty that they will both follow the same
evolutionary path.". Chaos Theory is both right and wrong:-)

I suppose all these models do is make our weather forecasting
guesswork inherently better...

I suspect in fact that the Astmosphere has far fewer degrees of freedom than
this, but I guess chaos theory is why we are able to get apparently random
Lotto draws from just a couple of spins of the same ball draw machine
identically loaded.  If you are a SF nut, track down a copy of "Patterns of
Chaos" by Colin Capp.  Some entertaining notions therein.

About an hour ago in Wembley Downs we had a lot of hail and lightning and
then got 5-10 minutes of hail of about 2cm diameter, which is bigger than I
personally have seen before in Wembley Downs. I took a couple of pics and
will develop them in the next few days. Funniest thing was all the car
alarms going off.

Currently I'm at Uni in Nedlands, and we have conistent thunder, some
lightning and drenching rain.

Storms producing hail of this size are almost certainly not LPs.  They
develop in regions of shallow or marginal moisture depth, are usually
characterized by a more shallow cloud depth and have reflectivities that
are often only moderate.  While they do produce hail, they normally do not
produce large quantities.  They also typically are narrow clouds and
sometimes will simply narrow until they dissipate....if they do so.

G'day Weather Company....

It is the Wilsons River (no apostrophe), and it is the north arm of the

HP category is a catch all.  The ways of classifying HP and Classics are
subjective.  There are virtually no objective criteria.  I have seen at
least two storms that may have  a feature that may allow for objective
identification, if indeed, these are sufficiently different to establish a
class of their own.  I remain to be convinced.  LPs are, in fact,
sufficiently different to establish that class.  IMHO

Howdy all. After Laurier post re: TC's galore, I have been watching the models
so see what he was talking about. The models did have a Low form in Gulf then
move NW - W before instensifying off the North Coast of NT.

Now the BOm have released this:

TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK

TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK
FOR THE AREA BETWEEN LONGITUDES 125 EAST - 142 EAST
Issued by the BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY, DARWIN
at 1:23 pm CST Friday 14 JANUARY 2000

TROPICAL LOW in northeast Gulf of Carpentaria
   Location........near 11S 141E
           ........i.e.about 110 nautical miles [200 km] NNW of Weipa
   Central pressure: 1002 hPa
   Recent movement : slow moving

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
          Next 24h : low
           24-48 h : low
           48-72 h : moderate

NOTE: Development Potential is an estimate of the probabilty of tropical
cyclone development within each 24 hour period...
LOW = 10% or less        MODERATE = 20% - 40%        HIGH = 50% or more.

[REMARKS ]
Low is weak with exact position difficult to discern.  Most likely movement is a
slowly west-northwest over the next few days.

So its wait & see now.

Anyway, it seems the unsettled weather is going to settle in Sydney. During 
the afternoon we have had large cumulus beginning to grow. Some have 
produced local showers but I have noticed they are beginning to glaciate!!

Tomorrow according to the models, it seems we are going to have an unstable 
airstream and possible storms with rain or even heavy falls at times. We 
will see what comes of it. Storms coming from the E are good news for 
Schofields and the western suburbs.
