In a previous mail my wording probably gave everyone the impression
that the storm was a single updraft short lived pulse type. As you
said Michael this multicell was active for sometime and Paul and I
could see it while driving out towards it from the northern suburbs.
We were just too late as by the time we got close to it and were in a
position to observe it's base structure it was then quickly falling
apart - the opposite of what I expected it to do.

The SE ( Storm Eradicator ) wind change moved through here about 10.30am. It
was castellanus heaven this morning, but this has cleared east. The SE is
very shallow as cloud at 1500m is streaming in from the NW, I would not mind
betting that from the Hunter north it will fire today.

Yes the Hunter is starting to fire somewhat but well into the distance I
would say around Scone and so forth. A line of large cumulus are developing
in that region. They are not spectacular in development but are typical
sudden vertical growth cumulus unlike the Sydney type od cumulus which can
appear from the morning for quite a while and then develop later on.

There is nothing to chase. The action is too far. Sydney can forget about it.

Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com
I would suggest Sydney siders keep a watch to their NW as the activity is
edging closer with the clouds coming in from the WNW. This means that the
northern parts of Sydney can be a target for a thundery shower or storm
attack but I think the Central Coast northwards is till the go. It is quite
hot and the cumulus are large enough to be interesting.

There are interesting large cumulus around NW and W Sydney at the moment.
One is already prducign a heavy shower on the mtns but is difficult to see
by the average observer. Another large cumulus had developed to my W and
may approach Richmond. Another is approachign Michael Bath but it depends
if it develops and how quickly it develops.

Very nice pics Matt. I haven't even taken my first lightning pics yet. I

building up everywhere..

There is a rock hard cumulus developing NNW of Richmond. It is the
strongest updraught out of all the cumulus in the Sydney metro area. If it
persists, it will produce a storm.

Here in Shellharbour we are right on the southern boundary of Cumulus, to
the south it is cloudless. I can see the towers north of Sydney and they
look impressive, but it takes me 3 hours to get to the Central Coast.
Believe it or not we did not get any rain here in Shellharbour yesterday or
last night, I could see lightning to the north but very inconsistent,
offshore a system developed that was quite active but too far away for
lightning photos.

The wind is very weak, it blew SE until about 3pm, then swung back to the
NE, I can see backshearing storms from here, just north of Sydney, I don't
know how you can hold out. Imagine if our Quirindi trip was today !! All Cu
has now cleared from here.

Hi All,
Well...I saw some weakish looking t'storms to the SSW-WSW today at the
Broncos Vs Cronulla game today (Broncos lost - BOOOO!!!!!!!!!

That's a brilliant first attempt Matt. I reckon lightning photographers
who've been at it for years would be happy with that. Keep it up :-)

the Bureau is game to forecast that far ahead. I don't even look at
forecasts anymore to not keep my hopes high. I have learned from that
experience.

Hi Marty and all,
Are you sure that's from the Bureau? Or is it from another source such
as WNI/wx underground etc.
Secondly, so far the models are pointing for an interesting week mid to
late next week for SE QLD, and south to Victoria (including NSW) with a
nice trough, and a strong upper level system evident on the 500
vorticity charts. It will be an interesting time for all if NGP's/MRF's
scenario comes true (new MRF will be interesting tonight) but I've seen
models forecast something analagous to this before, and then suddenly
wipe it off their cards...chaos at work!
NGP doesn't have much jetstream around unfortunately, but hopefully that
will change...at the moment we can only wait until the time period gets
closer, and the model runs are more accurate.

Yes, I must agree. The seven-day forecast worries me. Aimed more at
increasing ratings for the program broadcasting it by trying to impress it's
audience, rather than an accurate prediction of the weather. I dont think
people would remember by the time the fourth or fifth day came around. The
news service could broadcast anything they liked for anything after a couple
of days, and I'm sure nobody would care, or remember, whether it was right
or wrong.
But hey, I just got excited when I saw THUNDERSTORM on the telly, ok!! :)

The MRF model seems to have the trough deepening over Victoria and
southern NSW from the ENE which is strange for us as Vic troughs usually
develop from N,NW,W. As you mentioned though, let's wait and see what
the MRF says in 3 days or so (although I liked 00Z on the 19th for
western NSW, -6). Let's hope the entire east coast gets some action :-)
(as well as those in Adelaide and Perth)

Hmm.. yeah I thought that might come back to bite me on the butt. I didn't
really feel the Bureau would attempt such a long range forecast. But, I know
absolutely nothing about the Bureau, so there my speculation ends!
Cheers!

Just had a look at the latest Aust. JCU satellite and things over the
Top End look very interesting at the moment. There are some giant cloud
tops around Darwin/Kakadu as well as the Cape York Peninsula. Although
this is probably standard it still looks spectacular.

Yeah, actually... Brisbane has had somewhat similar empty promises. And I'm

Just a mail to tell everyone what i observed today..
North of sydney at around 5pm i noticed a cell starting to anvil out,
looked more like an atomic bomb blast than a storm(got a couple of good
photos), had some strong updraughts feeding into it and it was
precipitating (white shaft could have been hail?)
no lightning was observed (although plenty of static on the radio)
At 5.30 as that cell moved east towards the coast and died off another
cell was building from the same place the last one had , my attention was
drawn to it and after 15 minutes 3 CG's occured at once, and 1 more 5
minutes later, i then had to leave for work,but this one died off around
sunset i think, as i couldnt see any activity when i went outside around
8pm. seemed like your typical pulse type cells..
Currently its warm and humid here 25 degree's DP is 18 and relative
humidity is 65%
Whilst out at richmond its 22 degree's DP is 19 and RH is 83%
