Back again,
Just had a brief update from Clyve Herbert who, on his way to work, has
followed that cell all the way from Geelong to Melbourne. This small cell
has a nice flanking line and has sent up three significant towers and pushed
it into the red on radar. Apparently the cell is NOT lightning active but
has had some nice base features. Lowerings, scud and a little bit of low
level rotation - just inflow and outflow mixing the scud in different
directions. He has taken a few photos and I'm looking forward to seeing
these as he is a fantastic photographer.
The cells was backbuilding slowly to the N and tracking on a parallel to the
W side of the bay. While it has weakened somewhat, Clyve mentioned a fresh
pulse going up so it may intensify again. Other cells, also with very small
but intense echoes, are pushing E in a line from Torquay to Meridith.

Interesting weather in Melbourne today but as I am stuck at work I have to
be satisfied with what I can see on radar. Melbourne local has just
acquired a few pixels of red in a cell which is heading for/hit Avalon (to
the NE of Geelong). While only very small cells they could provide us with
an interesting evening.
Also to note is the nice squall line up near Wagga which has been visible on
radar since 10:30 this morning when it was just blue and yellow.
Enjoy this weather while it lasts.

Hi all,
Considering that yesterday was the anniversary of the Sydney Supercell
hailstorm, it was fitting that an ASWA meeting be held to commemorate this
event. No we didn't get to hold the 1 minute silence for the victims of the
hailstorms. I know some people may have thought this inappropriate but for
me I thought this storm really touched me in that I would have been
devastated had such a storm hit our house!
Nevertheless, those who attended spent a quiet evening chatting about the
stories and observations on the night of the hailstorm. We watched the few
minutes footage courtesy of Michael Thompson of the event unfolding near
Shell Harbour. We then turned to the video footage of the past few weeks of
cloud to cloud bolts and other more like end of season type footage. Then
accidently, the original Hi8 tape went into the footage taken in Malta that
I was taping over. No not weather footage but footage of turkeys - damn
turkeys!!! And I have never seen so much laughter at an ASWA meeting. I was
ready to call the ambulance at one stage. The things we do... Perhaps
weather related - turkey towers??
For those brave enough to remain behind, we checked radar and satellite
pictures of the advancing trough/cold front. It was obvious that rain would
develop through Sydney and clear by the morning.
I must say that perhaps since it was a Friday, it would have been an
opportunity to see others who were not able to attend meetings on Saturdays
to turn up. Oh well.
Hopefully people enjoyed the meeting with a difference.

As NSW State Rep, I have decided to start e-mailing members of proposed
dates for future meetings. If the majority agree it is ok, then we go ahead
with it. It is planned that the second Saturday of the month be the focus
as it seems these have been well attended. One possible reason is that some
societies tend to act on the last or first particular weekday of the month
and therefore I thought perhaps going against that trend may help. Also for
Sydney members, AMOS has its meetings on the fourth Wednesday of the month
giving a little break between meetings...
Other State Reps MAY consider this option if they wish which is why I have
posted this on the aussie-weather list. Members (and visitors) can consult
their state reps if they wish but I will leave it up to the states to
decide what they want and what is working for them.
Having said that, the proposed date for the next ASWA meeting is 13th May.
Could the NSW ASWA members and visitors indicate whether they like this
date. I will confirm it in a couple of days.

Many new features. Congrats to the team and may you long continue!
Also the Sydney chasers site looks great! Simple and accessable.

Hi Nick,
Was quite a pretty mover. I was doing some work and over a 4 minute period
it seemed to grow very rapidly - though I saw no pilus clouds so maybe I was
bit too much into my work and the time went by faster than I thought :)
Cheers,
Lyle

Hi All
I havn't posted on here before but have been a member of ASWA since June
last year. I have also been reading this list for a long time too.
So I thought I would introduce myself because I often go storm spotting and
chasing and it would be good if I could post some info to the list about
what I did or saw etc, or what type of significant weather I received at my
place.
On this page - http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/chasers/johnsweat.htm , I've
put all about how I became interested in weather etc. Just saves me typing
it all out here again :)
Two months ago I moved from Brisbane (Burpengary) to Sydney (Telopea).
Also, quite often I'm on #weather channel on austnet IRC. (nickname: vance)
Anyway, I'm looking forward to contributing to the list
Regards
John Sweatman

A firm has used a photo in an advertising campaign associated with trying
to promote an understanding of the global warming. The photo is the following:
www.australiansevereweather.simplenet.com/photography/photos/1999/1122jd01.jpg
The photo will be used at bus stops around Sydney CBD mainly and during the
following time period:
May 2 for one week
May 23 for one week
June 13 for one week
I wouldn't mind seeing what the add looks like and how it is displayed. To
tell you the truth, I don't know why they chose that one. Goes to show how
others not in the weather business think based on their perceptions.

Hi All.
TC 24S Paul has deepened to 925 hPa Cat 5.
BoM think it has reached max intensity, whereas JTWC think it will
intensify further over the next 24 hrs.
Looks like another developing low N of Cape Leveque.

Hi All,
I think I can work out why they chose that pic. See if I can explain it properly
The conception we all have in our mind is of raised temperatures which would kill
of most (or if you believe them) all of the current plant life which would then
lead to the death of all animals. This would be followed by constant heavy rain
and cloud. This would supposedly then drop the temperature significantly and
cause the next Ice Age.
Now, if we examine the photo, we see propped up on the front left what appears to
be a dead tree (strengthening the idea that all plant life would be dead). We
then are aware that the photo is very very dark showing heavy cloud, which we
would now be thinking of as constant heavy cloud, a severe lack of light, and a
plummeting temperature.
When we look at the photo, not only do we see what appears to be rain on the
right hand front of the photo, but the structure of the cloud has a marked
similarity to a volcanic eruption cloud. Now, as we all know, this is one of the
other things that we are to expect with global warming ie, the increase in
volcanic activity and earthquakes.
I believe the photo is very very effective and works very well on our
preconceptions of global warming.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Susan

Hi all!
Well well, what an end to a day!!!
Saturday (today) was the only day I could chase, over the Sat/Sun - and
I thought there was a risk/chance of storms in the
Warwick-Stanthorpe-Gondoowindi area today. Unfortunately, nothing
developed. However, as I sat down on my cosy storm chasing fold-up
chair on the SW outskirks of Warwick, I ate my lunch while watching
lowerings under the base of a CJ rotate. It was quite fascinating to
watch! Nothing tornadic/supercellular or anything of that sort, just
rotation as the lowerings did a little 'dance' around. It was quite
amusing, and certainly a good example of what you can see if you just
sit down and take the time to look up and let it all sink in!
Knowing nothing would happen, I decided to head for Stanthorpe - a town
60km S of Warwick. I'd never been to Stanthorpe before, and had heard
it was a nice town. It was indeed a very nice town, and I enjoyed the
novelty of watching leaves fall to the ground in the wind from deciduous
trees (all nice and orange/red). Had a few car troubles with the alarm
- but 20 minutes later and that was finally fixed!
I headed back to Brisbane (now about 3:30pm). Between Aratula and
Willowbank (I know, a larg stretch, but I didn't write down where I
was), I saw some very nice orographic winds coloured my some smoke to
the east. It looked great! Car screeched to a halt and I took some
footage before the effect 'wore off' becoming very ill-defined. It just
looked really 'cool' you could basically see how the wind meandered up
the mountain, and continued to ascend, before quickly 'falling' back
down the other side of the mountain!
I continued heading back home - at about 5:15pm, I thought there might
be a nice sunset, so I exited off the Cunningham Hwy around Booval, and
quickly found an advantage point. It was quite photogenic, and I had
chosen a spot with powerlines + old houses + a road in the distant to
give it an 'old style' look. I sat there (getting half blinded!) with
my camera taking shots of the Sun as it move down on the horizon. I was
playing around with the zoom ready to get another shot of it as the last
part of the Sun dipped behind the horizon, and low behold A GREEN
FLASH!!!!!!!!!! I was stunned!!! I took 5-10 seconds for it to sink in
(delayed reaction) and then when I finally realised I had a huge surge
of excitement go through me (and simultaneously frustrated that I did
not press the shutter as soon as I saw it!!!) It only lasted 1-2
seconds tops (probably the reason why it took a while to register, as
one moment it's there, the next it's gone!
For those wondering what a 'green flash' is - Kathryn Jolly (ASWA SA)
found an interesting URL on themL: http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/ (Thanks
Kathy!!!) I spotted a photo that was quite similar to what I saw (but
mine was more of a lime green) his is on the top of this page:

All up - while no storms, one of the best chases ever!
