I've been thinking about these blocking highs and in particular their
impact on our late autumn/winter weather. I just re-read Dr David Jones
excellent post from last winter on the anomalous southward placement of
high pressure systems and how it has
become an almost normal part of Australian weather in the recent decade.
(Re-read David's post from last year for a much more detailed
explanation, I have it if anyone wants it)
 
Oh well, maybe we will get some lows squeezing in between these blocking
highs. And maybe some of those "Football Highs" might sometimes show a
more North to South orientation in their elongation (awful poetry) to
perhaps 
feed some more cold air our way? Well, that's my fantasy, and I'm
sticking to it for now.
 
Seriously, I am just thinking about ways in which such blocking highs
could assist cold fronts under certain conditions? Just trying to keep
my hopes up for this year, 'tis all.
 
Thoughts anyone?

Hi all,

More storms forecast on the ranges this afternoon.  After yesterday's
action I'd suggest anybody with some time should get up there!  I doubt
I'll be able to chase today :(

I find that the colourisation gives a lot more discrimination at the
top end of the scale. Much easier to pick between green shading to
dark brown than fairly white shading to really white.

Hey all,

Well, no storms up here yesterday. Mind you though, watching some of the
congestus breaking through the lower cap was reminiscant of the TDU. Noticed
one cell to the South of Murtoa, but nothing really happened from this
except light rain. Most of the activity died out once it hit the mid-level
cap.

Some rain in Murtoa, but not enough to even measure.

Paul.

Fairly dry through its depth over us last night, but we have an infeed
from the north of moisture at the moment which should improve the
outlook as the day progresses.

and in Adelaide:-
850 12.2

I agree that the colourisation improves visibility of the top end tonal
range, but I find it a little difficult to call them "Nice colourised water
vapour imagery from NPMOC". The choice of urine yellow and turd brown for
water vapour flows is rather offputting. I wonder if the person choosing
the colours had a dose of the runs recently?

I hope they do not go on to do the same with the IR and VIS images!

Regards,
Carl.

Hey Phil,

Kathryn here ...... Yesterday was pretty eventfull for us as well.  We 
spent a good 5 hrs at the RAAF base and watched all the towers go up 
through-out the day.  Left the RAAF base at approx 2.30pm and headed for 
home, we knew there was some action around, and 20 mins after being home we 
heard our first rumble of thunder.  Andrew and I had just all the camera's 
out of the car, so we picked them all up and put them back in 
again.  Unfortunately for us (and our usual story so it seems) we were 
lacking in the fuel and money for fuel department, so we only managed to 
head to our local lookout.  Saw some nice CG's and CC's over the hills, 
city and Salisbury-Elizabeth areas  (one of these Andrew and his sister saw 
hit the ground), and we managed to capture a few on the Video Cam (few and 
far between).   A nice base caught our attention looked a bit rough, and as 
we were watching it, we noticed it was slowly rotating.  We set the cam so 
it was pointing at it so we have footage of it.  The rotation probably 
lasted around half and hour, then the base just became scraggly again.
We managed to get a few more CG's on cam before the batteries died on 
us.  So we headed for home to re-charge the batteries and get some 
food.  We went out again about 6.30pm to the same lookout, and there was 
only infrequent lightning over the hills (1 every 10-15 mins).  So after an 
hour we came back home to check out the rotation of the base on video.  The 
video image is dark to start off with, till Andrew moved the cam, then if 
you look at it long enough you can see rotation.  or if you don't wish to 
stare at it FAST FORWARD works well.

Maybe we can organising a future meeting at our place, and you can judge 
for yourself.  I hope your pics come out ok, just spewing now we couldn't 
go any further.

Kathryn

Hey Everyone.

That time of week again, apologies for not sending a reminder last week, 
but the week just flew by.

Well this weekend saw dear old me (Astrolady) get 1 which now places me on 
the bottom of the ladder.   Weatherhead is still sitting on top with 51.5 
points,  2nd place has Disco-wx on 50.5 points, and 3rd is Debp on 49.5 
points.   I hope at least Deb can make her way to the top and show you guys 
how it is done :-)  I am showing everyone how not to do it.

Anyway tips have to be in by 6.00pm EST on April 14th......... So don't forget.

GOOD LUCK to everyone, and I really hope someone visits me on the bottom.

Kathryn (Astrolady)

Excellent!  Can you take some frame grabs and put them up on your page,
maybe as an animated GIF????  I'm sure we saw the same thing, just from
different angles.
My photos should be back Wednesday ;)

And more storms tomorrow! [maybe]

Hi all.

Its flogging down here - and cant access radar! dammit.................. 
the airport has had 71.6mm in about 1.5 hrs

inc. 14.6 mm in 10mm.

Yep - this is VERY unsual in April - we are heading for a record wet 
season if we have only 150mm more rain during the last 20 days.

Darwin AP has now recorded over 100mm - the first time all wet 
season! Now that is an amazing fact about this wet season.

Ohh Matt - I thought your mathematics was better then that -

that equates to rain rates of 72mm per hour or more - umm last 
time I looked that classifies it as severe doesnt it?

Splendid imagery, Carl. They clearly have picked well the colours
where the shittiest weather is occurring.

Hi all,

Before I go on, I'd like to echo the very true words of Dr David Jones a
week ago - that no one should take things personally on the list!

I believe Matthew Smith was referring to a small typo you made Paul! 
Which is:

> >inc. 14.6 mm in 10mm.

mm in mm

Hopefully this will clear up a few things!

Enjoy your flogging :-)

I have finally had time to add more photographs to our site.  Check out

www.australiansevereweather.simplenet.com/photography/photos/2000/index04.html

www.australiansevereweather.simplenet.com/photography/photos/2000/index03.html

They are not the best pics at all namely due tot he fact a fair few of them 
were taken during high moisture haze (high CAPE) conditions. Oh well..

Nevertheless, the events include the following dates :

14th March 2000   SE change and some storms in Sydney
19th March 2000    high CAPE day with a lot of activity west, southwest and 
then northwest of Sydney particularly near Mudgee
1st April 2000  Muswellbrook severe storm observed from a distance  2nd and 
3rd photo of that day as well as some later
2nd April 2000  My Birthday  and a bust
3rd April 2000  Storms to the west, southwest and northwest of Sydney  some 
hail reported the next day in Parkes from the same system which then moved 
east as a dry line situation

4th April  low level stratus and altocumulus castellanus - the type of day 
you wished was a weekend day not week day...
