Hi James,

And who would have thought, we'd end up 100's of km N of where we
planned to go? :)

7 January 1926, at least according to the records, but I suspect it
may have been recorded one day out, as Eden and Gabo Island recorded
nothing on the 7th but 131mm and 105mm respectively on the 8th.

Just wondering because 2 days ago u had our max as 29, when the radio
station (which is also a BOM data site) had our max at 31?

Thanx.

Howdy Laurier. Was just looking at your site, inc the Thunderstorm
weatherwall, and it is playing up, with it showing the 144hr Humidity, temp
850mb map rather the  TT's & Precip water maps.

Hope this helps.

Hi all, just heard three rumbles of thunder in one minute to the NE of 
my location. Off to see whether anything is worth chasing. The raindrops 
today are quite large, so although the rain today hasn't been that 
heavy, there is obviously some convection happening. I'll report back a 
bit later if there's anything to report on. 

Looking forward to seeing Anthony's supercell report later today

There are two Taree sites - the radio station (which is the site
with the long-term historical record) and a recently-installed AWS
at the airport. On what I've seen so far the airport seems to be a
little cooler (is it closer to the coast? - I don't know Taree at
all).

I'd imagine the radio station site will be closed eventually, but
hopefully not until there is a good overlap of records.

Two cells on the radar, one near Ringwood, one east of Lilydale, both
moving east.

With 8/8 cloud it's hard to get a handle on what is happening storm-
wise in the east (I'm in the city at the moment).

Howdy Blair!!

The Airport site is on an exposed site, near the river, so temps will be
moderated there with a artificial "seabreeze" off the river. The radio
station site is more in town , but located in a hollow. So neither will give
true readings. Both sites are at least 5kms out of the main town area
heading north towards Cundletown (a suburb north of Taree on the way to Port
Macquarie. However the airport site has already shown the marked difference
in the rainfall readings - so it will be interesting to see just what the
difference is over a year - I suspect it may be 200mm +.

By the way how much is an aws?

Regards, Paul

The lightning detection system was playing up yesterday - it might be
doing so today, although the Fire Weather Briefing (which mentioned
it yesterday) didn't do so today.

Hi everyone,

Ive created a list of 10 different colour schemes for the proposed ASWA
logo. Images of the different coloured logos can be obtained from the
following address.

http://www.ozemail.com.au/~mjpiper/logo.jpg

If i could get some feedback on the preferred colour scheme it would be most
appreciated. I have numbered the logos from 1-10 so as to make it easy for
you to state your preference.

Matthew and the rest,

I prefer either 1 or 9. Of course this depends on the background ie white.
If we get white T-shirts, it will match up...

Hi guys,

Another thing about cards, is that they can be used as 'reassurance' to
some.  In that I mean, yesterday during the chase, a farmer came out to
ask us what we were doing (we parked on the road beside his driveway to
take pics) perhaps a card would be used to reassure anyone who asks,
that we have no intent of doing anything illegal to
people/objects/property.

If me judgement of distance and direction serves my correctly, there seems
to be a thunderstorm which has developed near Yass or perhaps west of Yass.

From my position, I am able to see around 200km...

Heya Matt!!

Great work on the logo, good to see things starting to take off, once ASWA
is registered things will really start to kick in i think:) oh yeah back to
the logo thing..
Number 1 for sure (good against a white background) and number 9 a close
second.

Mathew and all,

I like number nine as well. But maybe make Australia a little more red as that
is the colour of most of the country as it is coloured in number 4.

Hot here today. 39C forecast and maybe just maybe the risk of a TS this
afternoon.
My mission for the day. To get a lightning strike and a fireworks shell going
off in the same negative. Hard but possible (But ya gotta dream boy). :)

Hi all,

I forgot to mention that I am in the Aussie Post magazine
this week. Just look at page 2 and 3 and there I am. A few
of my lightning pics and a bit of the history about me.
I hope you like the photo of me :) its about 2 years old
but  I look like I just walked out of the jungle.
Happy reading

Not a bad guess Jimmy. The cell developed over the northern
Brindabella - a bit to the south of Yass.

As it continued to develop during the afternoon it joined
with some other cells further south along the ranges and
became very active from about 4pm. There were lots of CG's 
and CC's (close to 1 per second for nearly an hour). 

It was hard to get a good feel for the storm's direction.
The upper winds were quite strong and created a very thick
anvil which moved from WSW in a ENE direction. There were a
number of active cells embedded in the system and they 
seemed to propogate from SE to the NW. The lower level winds
were from the east and strengthened (a synoptic level 
development I think with the movement of the new high 
into Bass Strait) around 4pm. This occured just as several
of the Cb cells were about to dump their load and resulted 
in a good convergence between outflow and the easterly 
surge.

There were a number of base lowerings and large areas of 
sky had that severe inky blue/green colour that has been 
mostly absent this year. I was treated to a number of shelf
clouds, some interesting gust front development and some
very interesting areas of scud under the base lowerings
(but no real rotation). Any areas under the storm would
have received torrential precipitation with flash flooding
a strong possibility.

In the end the storm was fairly slow moving and did not 
reach my part of north west Canberra. We now (7pm) have 
a period of anvil rain from a coalescence of other cells.

I am pleased I got close to this storm as I was quite 
envious of everyone else's action on the weekend. I just
happened to be somewhere that should have also participated
....Mt Kosciuzcko. Alas I had good view of storms in all
directions - at a distance - but nothing where I was.

With the previous discussion of snow, I can also report
that at the moment on mainland Australia there is currently
1 patch of snow approx 10m long and 5m wide near the base of Mt 
Kosciuzcko (as this was at around 2150m, I presume that there 
is currently no snow in Victoria with Mt Bogong from memory 
not quite getting to 2,000m).

My choice for the ASWA logo is No 1.

Hi there all. This advice has got my hopes up for Friday down here in  
Melbourne due to the fact that there was a similar advice given this 
time last week (maybe Wednesday) for the same area. The synoptic charts 
look fairly similar from memory as well but I haven't checked all the 
forecast models yet. Here's hoping :-))

There was nothing really to see earlier today after those thunder claps. 
As Blair mentioned there was 8/8 low cloud cover. It was slightly darker 
to the east but nothing worthwhile. The Bureau is now forecasting Friday 
only for storms around Melbourne so I'll see all you Vic ASWA members up 
at Mt Dandenong.

Chris

PS  Anyone from Melbourne who feels like going on a chase into the 
ranges, maybe around Lake Eildon, on Thursday afternoon/evening e-mail 
me and we can maybe arrange something. Storms are forecast over a large 
area of the ranges that day.

Hi all,

I have just seen a news article on the channel 9 news, based
in Perth, of a "mini tornado" in today that has to take the
cake.

What it actually was, would you believe, was a willie willie
or dust devil!

Can you possibly believe that, a mini tornado in blue
skies!!

I think something might need to be done regarding this. But
then I thought it was a good laugh.

Hi Matthew and everyone

I think 2 looks much better than the others - dominant  blues and
whites just seem to be the appropriate colours for what we do - 
brown/green might be ok if we were about gardening but not probably
very symbolic of severe weather.

Hey all! 

I like the logo in general, but not the scroll at the bottom. (Reminds you of
School Badges) and think maybe we should steer clear from using the Australian
Olympic/Sporting Colours. 

I believe too, there should be something other than just the tornado highlighted
over the Australian map. (like add a lightning bolt, and/or the famous cyclone/TC
trade mark - hey, is that trademark btw?)

Colourwise I'd  vote for 2, 3, 4, or 6.

G'donya Jane - Nandina here.
Now you have my name and location details.  Mobile is 0199 74695 until I go
digital.

As for the rest - well, email is
nandina at alphalink.com.au  don't participate at other levels - IRC etc.

Hope the Mt Dandenong sub-branch of the Vic branch is able to launch itself
into whatever go-get-em activities appear appropriate at the time -whether
that be sit down and chat for a bit, or fly helter skelter after the rain
that will pelter, before the hailstones melta (?)  :-)

I really mean that I send you my best wishes for a successful venture and
that the social aspect is a pleasurable one.

I cannot join in this level of enterprise - several reasons,, the main ones
being health and other commitments.
That is why this list is so great for me.  I am passionate about weather -
but as one element of natural forces/phenomena that excite the" upper left
forward quadrant of my soul" - sorry, just made that up.  My artistic/spiritual
being stands in awe and wonderment at nature - in all her forms, whether that
be serene beauty or ugly devastation.  One moment I will never forget was down
at Brighton in the tower on the pier.  We were finishing an overnight yacht
race - together with choc. cake and red wine at 3a.m. (no wonder my body's
stuffed) when we were treated to a display of the Southern Lights.  Aurora
Australis I think it's called.  Even though the atmosphere was a bit misty,
it was still one of the most moving phenomena I have experienced.  So I guess
you understand that chasing storms is not what I'm on about, rather obesrving
(and learning) about weather in my time and at my pace.

Good luck to the Mt Dandy set - hope to receive a full and colorful account of
whatever transpires in what looks like  becoming a regular event.

Cheers,

Nandina

Hello Rals - is that Narelle, maybe?

Anyway, Nandina from Mulgrave (Melb) here.  Echoing Jimmy - poor rals .  Better you be sitting up in bed - maybe watching telly - there's cricket and tennis today, you know.  That way (sitting up, I mean) all the goop in your head has a chance to drrain away, lessening the chance of sinus infection.  :-)

One of the up sides of being 60.  You get to know and store just so much useless information.

Cheers,
