Dear Andrew

No thunderstorms here but we did get a fair bit of wind. The wind probably did
not get as strong as forecast but there was a lot of small branches littering
the ground this morning. Last night (about 10pm) on the radar there was a bit
of activity in Bass Straight showing green and pink did you see any of that?

Not the most ideal conditions for storms but we are heading out to try the 
area NE of Mudgee and W of Muswellbrook. What is making it difficult is 
that the satpic is not working. Bugger. I have tried to work out where the 
good area is with the CSIRO satpic.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all those who attended the NSW meeting. We had 17 in attendance 
which was excellent: one of the better NSW ASWA meetings take out the AGM. 
Members and visitors thoroughly enjoyed themselves. A special thanks to 
Paul Graham for his talk on the 18th March 1990 supercell and supercells in 
general.

For those who couldn't attend due to transport arrangements, I am trying 
very hard to arrange car pools and getting you into contact with willing 
participants. Hopefully we can encourage more members to be able to attend.

G'day Chas,

No, I didn't look at the radar....I was at the "local"
consuming a beverage or two for St. Pat's day! The
wind did certainly pick up once the front moved
through. It's good to have a little action considering
how quite it has been latley.

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi everyone,

Some may recall the End of Year chase with brief tornadic circulation on 
day 3 of the chase. Some people may have asked me to produce the video for 
them but I have tried to get out of it because of the work involved getting 
it dubbed from the 8mm tape to the VHS tape. But there is good news now.

I have been in contact with Tim Pascoe. He says if I can get the order of 
those who would like to purchase a copy of the footage on tape, he could 
get it mass produced based on the number of copies wanted. I felt this 
could be a money raiser for ASWA as well. By charging $15, which is what I 
charged Anthony, then we could raise say approximately $5 per tape (or 
perhaps more) for ASWA (I will see what the overall costs are).

Now what I need to see is a show of interest from those who are interested 
to purchase a copy to e-mail me   jdeguara at ihug.com.au

If the cost doesn't work out, then the deal falls through. However, it 
should be ok. So if you are interested, please e-mail me in the next few 
days. The footage I showed last night was clear.

Jimmy Deguara

Good morning list,
 
Based on what I've seen this morning, I'm about to 
chase in the Hunter area.    Hopefully it will prove fruitful a 
little later today.
 
I would appreciate any updates that anyone can give 
me
 
My number is 0412 208928.
 
P.S. The mobile service can be marginal in some 
areas, please persist or leave a voicemail message if your first attempt is 
unsuccessful.
 
Thanks,

At 9.30am, I can see some very nice, sharply defined cells from Canberra to
the WNW of Yass - showing up nicely on the radar at the moment

We have bright sun at Canberra at the moment with lots of AC and it is very
humid (DP of 19).

Any chasers from Sydney coming down the Hume towards Goulburn could have
some fun intersecting the cells coming across from the west.Being on the
northern edge of this cloud-band which is broken anyway might be the best
bet. It looks like it could be a good day...

In Canberra we are just about to experience our 
first storm of the century - it has been a while coming...
 
It is a very large structure and quite slow 
moving - so I think the emphasis will be on rainfall totals rather than any 
other aspects. (I am looking forward to the Wagga radar coming back on-line 
shortly to see it properly - it looks quite big on the current radar even though 
it must be on the outer edge of what the Sydney radar can pick up.
 
Some nice CC's and thunder now being heard. It's 
quite exciting - not having experienced a storm since early 
December.
 
Rain is just starting at my place at 
11.45am.

The radar loops as at 01.20UTC show quite an impressive rainband from
the western Riverina right out to sea 200km E of Wollongong/Moruya.
Steering is from due west, and the way the storms are developing as
they hit the coast is worth a look. A rain gauge 150km or so offshore
would be doing good business, with heaps of yellow, green and pink
echoes. Also, good echoes about 100km either side of a line from well
west of Cootamundra to Goulburn. Satpic loops show rapid development
of a large Cb area 100-200km east of about Ulladulla from 1800UTC to
00UTC -- presumably in the decaying trough. 6mm at Yanco was the best
9 to noon rainfall, followed by 5 and Cootamundra and 3 at Albury.

Nice thunder and lightning show here at Blackheath, around 5mm to 
2:50 pm. Nothing major so far but fun nonetheless, more thunder now,
better get off...

Thanks Don for your assistance with centuries, 
milennia etc...
 
I should have learnt my lesson some time ago - 
if you want to kill a off your chances of a nice storm,then all you have to do 
is tell this list - with confidence - about what a great storm you are ABOUT to 
have.... 
 
While slow moving storms can produce large rain 
totals if they are above you, they can also fall apart before they get to you. 
That is what happened this morning - it looked very black to the west - we did 
have a nice lightning and thunder show (for which I am thankful) and then it 
dissipated just as it arrived overhead. 
 
I think both topography and time of day didn't 
help. 
 
We are just to the east of ranges of up to 1400m in altitude - 
so there would have been a slight rainshadow effect (slight because the slow 
movement of the system presumably means less topographical impact).
 
The time of the day - just on midday (DST) - is not great as 
the system did not have the benefit of solar heating itself and was just 
starting to compete with updrafts from areas that had been subjected to 
heating.
 
A further rainband arrived about an hour ago - with a little 
more thunder at the start. We now have light rain periods (just over 1mm 
recorded since 9.00am).
 
Patrick

    at last...!!


    
In Canberra we are just about to experience 
    our first storm of the century - it has been a while coming...
    
 
    
It is a very large structure and quite slow 
    moving - so I think the emphasis will be on rainfall totals rather than any 
    other aspects. (I am looking forward to the Wagga radar coming back on-line 
    shortly to see it properly - it looks quite big on the current radar even 
    though it must be on the outer edge of what the Sydney radar can pick 
    up.
    
 
    
Some nice CC's and thunder now being heard. 
    It's quite exciting - not having experienced a storm since early 
    December.
    
 
    
Rain is just starting at my place at 
    11.45am.

The 00z run of the AVN is extraordinarily wet for the NSW coast, with
50 to 100mm from the Illawarra north to the mid north coast from late
tomorrow Monday through to Wednesday. The run strengthens the high
over Tas with a strong ridge up the coast and a developing trough off
the coast; all this interacts with the moisture band that's around at
the moment + LIs of -3 to -6 early in the piece. 

Well worth a look at
http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/fiorino/wxmap/avn.ausnz.htm

The 00z run GASP is similarly wet, though LAPS is much less so, not
strengthening the high over Tassie so much. EC I haven't seen. NOGAPS
00z is pretty lukewarm, bringing a good SE flow onto the coast, but
with amounts about half those of AVN.

There was some local flooding in the area, could not call the BOM because of
the mobile phone block.

Rainfall varied in area a great deal. Some lightning and thunder, but total
overcast made chasing a non event.
