REMARKS:
070900Z6 POSITION NEAR 23.0S5 114.2E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14P (STEVE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 60 NM SOUTH
OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS,
DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 070530Z5
VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, SYNOPTIC DATA, AND RADAR
DATA. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS AND SYNOPTIC DATA. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS THAT TC 14P (STEVE) HAS CONTINUED TO WEAKEN OVER THE
PAST 06 HOURS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO INDICATE
GOOD OUTFLOW ALOFT, HOWEVER INTERACTION WITH LAND HAS SERVED TO
WEAKEN THE SYSTEM OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. TC 14P (STEVE) IS FORECAST
TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD INITIALLY, THEN INCREASINGLY SOUTHWARD
THROUGH A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THE SYSTEM SHOULD
WEAKEN SLIGHTLY DUE TO INTERACTION WITH LAND OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS.
AS THE SYSTEM MOVES SOUTH, INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL
INHIBIT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT, THEN BEGIN TO WEAKEN IT AS IT IS
ABSORBED INTO THE PASSING MID-LATITUDE SYSTEM. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 070600Z3 IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 071500Z3 (DTG
071351Z7), 072100Z0 (DTG 071951Z3), 080300Z1 (DTG 080151Z5), AND

With TC Steve's apparent like for moving parallel to coastlines, I wonder
if it will swing South down the WA coast?

found this story tonight on the ABC web site on TC Steve
http://www.abc.net.au/news/state/wa/metwa-7mar2000-14.htm
Cyclone Steve expected to cross
WA coastline overnight
Tropical Cyclone Steve continues to play a cat and
mouse game with Western Australia.
For most of the day it has been hovering off the
Pilbara
coast, but according to the weather bureau in Perth,
the
storm is expected to cross the coast in the early
hours
of the morning near Coral Bay, about 1,100
kilometres
north of Perth.
The cyclone is currently 30 kilometres east of Coral
Bay
and is moving south-west at 12 kilometres an hour.
The bureau's Garry Foley says there have been strong
winds and heavy rain in the Coral Bay area.
"From there we will expect Cyclone Steve to move out
to sea it will probably remain a category one type
cyclone but it is in a position that it can threaten
most of
the west coast over the next few days."

Out west Cobar had 42mm 9pm to 9am, and in the 3 hours to 6am Katoomba
had 15mm, Homebush 14, Nullo Mtn 12 and Coonabarabran 10.
The Taree AWS is either reporting a deluge or malfunctioning -- it
reported 35mm 3pm to 9pm, 29mm 9pm to midnight, 82mm midnight to 3am
and 101mm 3 to 6am, or a total of 227.4 for 22 hrs to 7am. Can anyone
confirm what is going on up there? Port Macquarie has had a mere 10.8
during the same period.

Meso-LAPS is developing a weak low off the mid-north coast by 11am,
then deepening it very slightly while moving it south very slowly,
tightening the gradient along the coast south from about Port
Macquarie. GASP and AVN are content with developing a deep trough,
which hangs about until later Thursday, but has the same effect of
tightening the SE gradient. All three models produce pretty
substantial rain on the mid north and central coasts, and through
northern inland NSW, today and tomorrow, getting to the south coast
Thursday.

Also 225mm in 4 days (nearly all of which would have been overnight)
at Forster, and a couple of other 100+ totals.
Incidentally, 100mm has been topped somewhere in Australia on every
day since 1 February (even without including the data from Bellenden
Ker, which hasn't come through yet). I don't know how unusual this is
but suspect it is reasonably uncommon.

90% of the images were taken over a period of 3-5 weeks late last year..
Some large Cu around this morning - nothing all that stormy looking, but
the LI's do get down to -5 in Brisbane itself today - if this cloud
breaks up a bit it could be interesting..

15.8 at the airport, all of which fell after midnight. The Ag Station
report hasn't come in.
Taree AP finished up with 230 for the 24 hours, while the town gauge
recorded 204 (all in 18 hrs to 9am). Forster reported 223mm for the 18
hours to 9am, with a 4-day total of 225, as Blair has commented.
Logans Crossing, a few km NW of Kendall recorded 177, of which 130
fell in 3 hours to 2.45am, and 80 fell in the hour to 1.15am -- those
figures give a return period of around 40 years! That station reported
no rainfall after 3am. Other falls in the area were 138 at Lorne, 112
at Bulahdelah and 73 at Lostock Dam. Interestingly, Comboyne only had
61.
Some other heavy 24 hour falls:
Around Sydney: Peats Ridge 54, Turramurra 50, Parramatta 46, Darkes
Forest 42 (but Wollongong Uni 9)
Northern Tablelands: Guyra 56, Glen Innes Ag Stn 53, Deepwater 54
Central Tablelands: Katoomba 63 (but Blackheath 26 in the official
Godson Avenue gauge, and 34.6 in mine, just 1km to the SW)
Farther west, very patchy but some big falls: Byrock 107, Coolabah and
Enngonia 70, Cobar AP 57, Balowra (about 100km SE of Cobar) 58,
Moothumbil Station (35km S of Nymagee) 90, Moree AP 66, Carinda 79 --
yet lots of sub-10mm falls mixed in between these.
There are some interesting shorter duration falls on my noteworthy
reports page at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~wbc/pub/$NOTESYN.TXT

Its around 11 degrees (Thermometer under awning near house says 13 but
its an el cheapo so I have taken into account the difference to my
screen thermometer which is 25 metres away, down the yard in the rain!
Hence the "around")
30mm for the 24 hrs to 9am this morning and another 3mm in the gauge
now.
So far this month, we've had just over twice what we had in all of
February.

Yes, I second John thoughts/questions, although cool summers or indeed
hot ones, don't necessarily have a statistical connection/correlation to
the type of winter that follows. Is that correct?

Don asked about daily and monthly rainfall for Bellenden Ker for 1999.
The station recorded 11,852mm for 1999 -- I think an Australian annual
rainfall record.
I've put the full 1999 record at
http://ausweather.simplenet.com/temp/Bellenden_Ker_1999_Rainfall.html
This is for the top station -- the bottom station only recorded a
measly 7197mm for the year. Unfortunately, the gauge is not always
read daily, and two likely occurrences of highest 24-hour rainfalls
were lost -- the 48 hour total on 13/2/99 was 1870mm, and the 72 hour
total on 15/3/99 was 1281mm.

Hi again!
Currently 3pm and wind at sydney airport 25-35knots gusting 40knots
from 150 degrees. Interesting to note a more southern movement in all rain
activity on the radar today.
Blowing a gale, and yes, still raining (not so heavy though)!
Still confident for a developing east coast low...

Thats interesting Laurier, it's fascinating watching the differences in
falls in our area.
I got 30mm for the 24 hours to 9am Wednesday. And around 15mm from 9am
to 3pm.
Fresh winds here in Blackheath - I know, I was up on the roof of our
house looking for the entry point of a leak into our back room! And I
found it, after 20 minutes out in the rain and nearly falling into the
Rhododendren etc. :-(...Drip, drip.
Interestingly, the hole looked a little like a hail dent. We have an
aluminium cliplock roof and I've noticed different dents of different
sizes scattered about.

Yes, it is evening. The 50,000 feet related to the max storm top. It was
independent of the mesocyclone. Mesocyclones will almost never extend that
high. The TVS is from the new "TDA" or Tornado Detection Algorithm". It
is actually a misnomer. It detects shears of all types. It detects far
more "TVSs" than are real or actual tornadoes.. That is especially true
with the gust front along squall lines. There are very frequent false
alarms.
In my opinion the TDA was introduced into operations too soon before it had
been sufficiently developed. This is not to say that it is never right.
It is right in some cases.......sometimes more so than others.
Additionally, it uses several sets of adaptable parameters that make it
less or more sensitive and make it sometimes very likely to be false
alarms. We, who can get the NIDS products outside of the government do
not know which set they are using. Finally, there are "elevated TVSs" and
surface based TVSs. There are far, far more elevated TVSs that are not
really important. That is why most offices have turned them off, elevated
TVSs that is. Most but not all have turned them off.

Windy here too (cranebrook), while writing part1 of this email, the power
went out for about 15 minutes. Only really started to get consistenly gusty
since about 3pm.
Had 37mm up til 4:30 this afternoon, many of the local roads around here
have surface water all over them, and for the third day in a row rowing
trials have been cancelled at Penrith Lakes. Looks like The Barbera
Striesand Concert at the SFS will be cancelled also....do you think the
weather gods maybe trying to tell us something?
what a difference a week makes =)

I presume the rain gauge is a tipping-bucket or some other type of
device? In other words where would one get a rain gauge capable of
holding the equivalent of 72 inches of rain (of course it always buckets
down up there..excuse the sick pun).....

Hey,

TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ADVICE
BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
WESTERN AUSTRALIAN REGIONAL OFFICE
Issued at 1606 on Wednesday the 8th of March 2000
This advice affects people in the following weather districts:
Perth and all areas within chasing distance around Ira's place.
There are two chances of Thunderstorms to be forecast within the advice
area this afternoon and
evening. They definitely wont be expected to be severe or to bring large
hailstones,
destructive winds and very heavy rainfall.
The STATE EMERGENCY SERVICE advises that as storms approach people should:
* Don't lock your keys in the car casue it'll be a pain in the arse
tomorrow morning
* Look out your windows, glass is real handy for seeing outside and that
During and after the storm people should:
* Beware of trees and power lines if you climb them you could fall and
skin your knees
* Keep away from creeks and drains and large brooms as you may be swept
away
* Remain indoors at night time and if it gets cold put a jumper on
The BOM recommends motorists switch their lights at night & wipers in the
rain, oh & slow down in the wet.
If your house is damaged fix it. Don't contact your local SES unit, listed
under "S" in the white pages, for emergency assistance. Cause they have
better stuff to do like play golf.
NOT FOR BROADCAST: This Advice message is valid until probably the start of
winter now. The Bureau and
SES would appreciate it being broadcast regularly until this time.

Hi all!
Received 31.4mm of rain here in ten minutes from a thunderstorm!
Produced one CG, and several CC's - large amount of thunder, but was
drowned out from the torrential rain! Gutters overflowed, and the
backyard flooded nicely :-)))
Wow, I don't believe it! SOMETHING AT LAST!!!!!
I reported it to the forecasters at the BoM and got told "They're not
really storms as such, just lots of moisture and instability." The
temperature has sat around 26C for most of the afternoon, and DP's
around 23-24, and CAPE around 2500. But I don't know, I'd classify a
CG, numerous CC's and thunder, and 31.4mm in 10mins/168mm/hr rain rate
as a 'thunderstorm.' :-)
I also gently suggested that a cell near Crows Nest should be watched,
but was informed it was nothing special. It's been in maximum intensity
for thirty minutes now, and is moving differently/more structured than
other cells.

At present it is dry here, we had about 15mm today. I noticed that last
night the rain came in from the NW, but a look at the loop at 8.45pm shows a
band coming in from the N/NE.
The significance for the Illawarra is the escarpment generally gets its
heaviest falls when the rain is from the East around to the N/NE, only hitch
is the wind is still SE.
I predict some heavy falls overnight here.

Doesnt anyone have any info on this????
I got this email today, can anyone out there help me with the other states?
"Ira,
when was the last big tornado in Australia, both in terms of F value and
the one that killed the most number of people?"
I know of a few deaths in aus but im not sure what the most recent would
be. I think the bucca would easily qualify for the biggest most recent one.

Hey Anthony,
Did you tell them you are from ASWA?
They seem to think we know nothing. I had a similar experience of extremely
heavy rain 1 January 1999. I rang the Bureau knowing what to expect....
This is not really a severe storm. I think they need to recognise we are
not the general public and are going on their definition of severe weather.
It surprises me that it has happened in Brisbane... Oh well....one day we
may be able to get the recognition of giving proper reports and being taken
seriously.

Hi Everyone,
Just spoke to Anthony who is currently driving around the eastern
suburbs of Brisbane - he reported lots of local flooding, especially in
his suburb of Belmont..
One thing of note tonight is how unreliable Brisbane local scale radar
is at the moment.. the last few days (probably getting close to a week
now) the local scale radar has not been showing the intensities it
should - broad scale appears to be much more acccurate.. the storm that
Anthony got (180mm/h rain rate) showed up on the local scale as yellow
and green intensity - which is obviously not right.. but the broad scale
shot showed a large area of pink, and a small area of red - which
appears to be the correct intensity..
I don't know if it's a problem with the radar itself, or some kind of
software problem.. but it has happened quite often in the past, and
seems to come good after a while.. maybe some BOM people who are on the
list can provide some input?

G'DAY, I've just been driving for the last half hour in the bureaus' '' just
a lot of moisture and instability'' and believe me it was vigorous at Browns
Plains, south of Brisbane, with intense rain,CC's and even a little small
hail for good measure. Anthony - I can certainly relate to and understand
your frustration in dealing with some of the forecasters. Funny how we were
talking about just this sort of thing the other day........ Original
