Hey everyone!
I attended the AMOS meeting last night to hear a talk by a BOM forecaster
regrading storms, in specific Severe Weather/ Supercells.
I would like Jimmy and Michael for giving us the opportunity to attend this
for it was a thoroughly fascinating talk. It was good to see how they
interpreted similar data to what us 'watchers' do. We also got to look at
some really high resolution radar loops of the storms that impressed me no
end.
I think that if the opportunity arises for other state group to attend such
meetings, these should be strongly recommended.
It would be great to actually get some BOM forecasters at some ASWA meeting
for i'm sure their thoughts and input would make for some great discussion.

On the topic of bad forecasting, we had a forecast of rain starting at
midnight and continuing into the day. I woke up to the most beautiful day,
barely a cloud in site.

Thanks Daniel. You seem to be way ahead of your time:-) The
above timestamp put in by your mailer or hotmail translates to
Fri 28/05/1999 00:31
This places it right on the bottom of my list. EST stands for
North American time zone when sending from Hotmail rather than
the intended Aussie one.
I've found with these sorts of free accounts where it is
possible to "adjust" your timezone in the WWW interface, that
this introduces a time warp. It is best just to leave the timezone
selection at the default for the server or GMT. That way, it gets
corrected properly by mailers in Oz by GMT +10. It works like
this;
1) Hotmail server is set to PDT (GMT -7 = 16:31 on 26/5)
2) You adjust WWW mail interface to read 09:31 EST. The
"09:31" display comes from the GMT time (23:31) +10hrs.
"EST" comes from the WWW interface to mean EST in North
America which is GMT (23:31) -5hrs.
3) Net offset "warps" time by +15 hrs (-5 + 10).
4) Hotmail server ignores WWW "local" time stamp but not
offset. After all it has it's own clock and just needs
to know the offset. This is part of the bug. The other
part concerns the fact that the WWW server uses GMT as
it's base display time, so the user adjusts from this
rather than the PDT local time. Double bug.
5) Mail is sent with the WWW server timestamp of 16:31
PDT +WWW inferface offset of +15hrs.
6) PDT time is corrected by reader leaving mail with
+15hr timewarp.
I put a detailed bug report into Netscape Netcentre about this.
They know about it and they don't have a fix because it would
require a local clock to run for each instance of a mail
invocation.

Spot on Chas. Thanks.
There is another aspect to this which I have overlooked - again in the area
of degree.
Guesstimating MSL pressure range here (not extremes) at 1015 to 990 equates
to 25cm change in sea level.
In areas with a tidal range of 2 metres, this difference could be
significant. Our tidal range is over 6 meters (a real pain when fishing or
boating), hence the significance (in terms of surge effects) not as great.

Hi John,
I saw a turkey tower to the SSW not long after I received your message,
I can also see some TCU/Cb to the WSW, however I don't have a very good

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
Yeah some nice Tcu and Congestus areas around today in Brisbane, i'm
watching a line of congestus to my west and north west that could very
easily be written off as a sea breeze front.. I don't think it is
though, moving very very slowly east i think.. The western horizon has
that classic Tcu with a cirrus background look to it, if i didn't know
any better i would expect storms tomorrow.. don't like our chances
though :(

Yep, and the QLD flag is looking mighty fine up there on the Sydney
harbor bridge :)
For those who don't know, the Premier of QLD and NSW had a little side
bet on the first origin game.. if QLD won then the QLD flag would be
flown on the top of the Sydney Harbor bridge the day after.. and if NSW
won then the NSW flag would be draped over a statue of Wally Lewis at
Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.. not sure how Wally felt about that last
one though.. although i guess the flag would protect him from all the
pigeons unloading all over it... :)

There has been heavy rain across much of south-western WA, with
only the Perth metropolitan area getting off relatively lightly
(14mm at Perth).
Widespread falls of 50mm+ have occurred in two regions; the far
south-west corner and an extensive area around and inland from
Geraldton. Geraldton itself has had 74mm yesterday and 76mm today,
breaking its May record twice on successive days.
Highest rainfall to 0900 today was 145mm at Kalbarri, easily a
daily record for any month (previously 89mm), although this is
a relatively short record (26 years).
In the far south-west, Cape Naturaliste got 84mm, which is also a
May record (88 years of record) and the fourth-highest daily fall
for any month (highest 92.5mm).
Judging by the warnings, the forecast and the synoptic situation,
we haven't heard the last of this yet.
There don't appear to be any flood warnings out yet, but the WA
Main Roads web site suggests quite a bit of nuisance flooding with
road closures.
Can the WA people on the list add anything to this? (especially
flood reports)

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
Yeah some nice Tcu and Congestus areas around today in Brisbane, i'm
watching a line of congestus to my west and north west that could very
easily be written off as a sea breeze front.. I don't think it is
though, moving very very slowly east i think.. The western horizon has
that classic Tcu with a cirrus background look to it, if i didn't know
any better i would expect storms tomorrow.. don't like our chances
though :(

According to this district forecast Perth is in, there is a flood warning
issued, but there's is none of that on the national warnings page.
LOWER WEST: WARNING FOR SHEEP FARMERS
FLOOD WARNING.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ADVICE.
Rain in the east tending to showers from the west during the day with
isolated thunderstorms. Scattered showers tomorrow easing later with
isolated thunderstorms. Possible local heavy falls. Strong N/NW,
tending W/NW overnight and shifting S/SW tomorrow. Severe squalls
possible with thunderstorms.
Flood warning is also stated in the Central West, SouthWest and Central
Wheatbelt district forecasts, which means the whole South West Land Division.
Also seen on a news update here, that Moora are preparing for another
possible flood, which is expected to peak around 10pm tonight.

Hi everyone.
Jimmy Deguara here. As Michael is preparing to move up the coast, I will be
acting in his position until the Annual General Meeting to be held in July.
I suppose keeping the seat warm so to speak.
Therefore, on behalf of all those on and off the list and members of ASWA.
and AMOS, I would like to thank Michael Bath for his overwhelming
contributions to the list and help in the formation of ASWA. I hope
everyone appreciates the amount of time that Michael has dedicated to this
cause. Could you all put your hands together to show your appreciation. And
NO he is NOT really leaving altogether. He will still be part of the list,
in ASWA and storm chasing. But on a personal level, I will certainly miss
him as a friend and storm chasing partner. We have done many hit and miss
chases together since 1993 and I suppose this will be the most notable change.
Now, I would like to welcome all those on and also those off the list who
have taken the opportunity to join ASWA. At the last count there were
around 40 members or so with the promise of more to join very soon.
If you wish to join the Australian Severe Weather Association ASWA, you can
benefit from access to radar which is worth $600 per year and automatic
subscription to the Newsletter Storm News which I think anyone will find
interesting reading. At meetings, which is open to members and visitors,
you will find it interesting to become part of close group of dedicated
weather enthusiasts. All of this for only $30 per year with radar and $20
per year without radar. There will be more information forwarded to the
list in the near future regarding details on the ASWA T-Shirts.
So if you feel you would like to become part of this establishment, you are
welcome to join by printing out the membership form.
http://www.severeweather.asn.au/meminfo/
There is more information on the ASWA site at
http://www.severeweather.asn.au/
If you feel you would like to offer suggestions, please feel free to do so
by contacting me or your state reps. These are my contact details:

There is a plus side, my sister inlaw and her husband who have a wheat farm

You are fortunate if you hear more than a one word weather forecast from the
Metropolitan FM radio stations: heaven forbid, a weather warning!!!!
Rod Aikman
The squall line which has been progressing across Victoria all
afternoon is approaching Melbourne. It has reintensified somewhat
on the radar, with an area of 10-20 mm/hr near Geelong. We could be
in for some fun and games.
The warning notes possible winds to 95 km/h.
However, you would never know this was happening if you were listening
to FM radio in Melbourne. I have been doing some channel-surfing
since the warning was issued at 1555 and no FM station has yet
mentioned the severe squall warning in their weather reports, 50
minutes later. In the light of the Sydney hailstorm kerfuffle this
is a singularly inglorious performance by the media. (The ABC,
commendably, broadcast the warning 15 minutes after it was issued,
which is the sort of timescale I'd consider reasonable).

Hi all!
First to Chas: the radar sequence, I have compiled from BOM radar.
Therein lies my problem. I need to find a Gif animator that uses Gif
files - can anyone help me? I currently have converted the sequence to
an AVI file 230Mb in size, though I still have the original radar
pics(the AVI file is obviously way too big!)
Cheers Peter.

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com
Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com
Hi everyone for the ........th time,
Just an additional note to compliment Daniel's message. The meeting was a
success. There were 28 in attendance at the meeting. Some important notes
in terms of the meeting are summarized.
-A general overview of thunderstorms was discussed and also severe
thunderstorms. Some of the simplified theory was also covered such as LI
and CAPE.
-Three case studies of supercells including the Sydney supercell was
discussed:
28th October 1995 Classic supercell CAPE around 2300 LI I think -8 or
thereabouts
18th December 1998 LI -10
14th April Sydney Supercell hail event
In this supercell event, Robb Webb suggested that even though 9cm hail
was the only one measured, it is now accepted that hail size in the most
extreme damage areas was probably 10 to 11 cm in diameter.
Another important point (and perhaps people should reflect on the radar
images in the report), the second major cell is being investigated as a
possible second supercell. This is unusual as this almost followed the same
path as the first major supercell. Normally, once a supercell goes through,
the energy used up by the supercell eliminates the possibility of other
storms developing let alone supercells.. We will see what the findings are
of this second cell. Incidently, it was the second cell which most of the
media footage would have centred on. There is only brief home video footage
of the massive hail chunks splashing in a pool from the first supercell.
Obviously the hail kept in the freezers and shown afterwards on people's
hands were from the first cell.
It was the best Weatherwatch meeting in terms of enthusiasm from those in
attendance and attendance numbers. And a good showing of 9 ASWA members.
Thanks guys for your efforts. I think the AMOS committee really appreciated
it.
Jimmy Deguara

Imagine if Michael Bath had moved in 1993, without the friends and
connections that the AWSA has provided Jimmy would really be stuck for a
chase partner. I wish Michael all the best in his move to wetter and
stormier pastures.
Regards
Michael
