Hi all

Been looking at the forecasts and it looks like SA could get a few thunderies today. There is a low combined with an upper level trough moving over the region. The BOM have isolated T'Storms forecast and the radar shows a line of storms of the coast. The BOM have issued a thundersquall warning for parts of the SA coast. You just never know, could be a repeat of the other day.

But offcourse as all things go it is expected to weaken as it touches Victoria, dammit.

Does anyone thing Melbourne has a chance of a storm out of this system.

Nick

Hi Everyone

Satrudays Sydney Morning Herald had an article titled "Huge Dust Storms
Forcast For The Coast",
Go to www.smh.com.au , scroll down and click on "National" and it is the
3rd story down on that page.

Anyone care to comment on this and its accuracy/predictions ?

I dare say not until September / October as most of this monsoonal deposit
should be a bit north of the current action. By then we could have seen rain
again that will settle the soil.

Micheal,
    I am contacting you because I am trying to discover a broad definition for the Central tablelands area. For example what are its boundaries? What approx. area does it cover?  Why is this particular area called the central tablelands?  You have drawn a map of the approx. area on your internet site so I'm guessing you have some idea of it's boundaries and what area it covers because nobody else I've tried calling seems to have any idea.  I would really appreciate any information you might be able to give about this.

Hi Sam

Some great images there, especially like the 8:44:43 image as it looks like
an open maw ready to bite something. Also curious about the time, I realise
I am at only 34'S and at the east end of a time zone, but still on December
4 here at 8:30PM it is already pitch black, not to mention 9:00 something
PM.

Michael

Matt, it all depends on how far you are willing to go for a day trip -
when I was a bit more fanatical I used to do Thredbo from Sydney when
the snow was worth it (ie not all that often). Unfortunately getting to
the snowfields from Ulladulla isn't much better going either via
Batemans Bay-Queanbeyan or via the coast, turning off just b4 Bega -
both can be done; maybe 4 hours or so each way. I think the
Brindabellas, near Canberra, is the only other area which is high
enough to be reliable and is considerably closer to Ulladulla.

On another note, unfortunately I missed the Sydney chasers Sat night
out due to the shitty little piece of RNA aptly named the Sydney virus.

Finally, whats happening with the e-storm report card which Paul put
together? We diuscussed this at the last ASWA meeting and I'm not sure
if anyone has since volunteered to manage it. If not, with the PhD out
of my hair, I'll gladly do it as this will provide ASWA with a detailed
database of Australian severe weather events - so long as events are
recorded.

Guess who had to work at 5.30 am in the morning on this day, carting 48 
boxes of fries, 30 boxes of meat and numerous other things into the walk in 
freezer at work, all without a jacket!!  Me!! I know Im crazy but Ill admit 
I enjoy it, just the getting out of bed bit is dificult.  The temp in the 
freezer was -18 to -23C and 4KQ said it was 5C in the city.  What amazes me 
is the amount of people up and about walking dogs and jogging etc at this 
time - it is quite beautiful when the sun comes up and there are no clouds 
in sight, but fog and frost so I guess thats why some people call it the 
best part of the day.

Hi Phil

You will need a program like Paint shop pro 5 that has the gif animator in
it, you can obtain a shareware ver of this program from http://www.jasc.com

If you don't want to d/l that program try looking for one called Gif
Construction set, very handy program to have, btw the psp5 version of the
Animator can take any file type from JPG's to GIF's to TIF's so it is very
useful..

Hope this helps Phil...

welcome, newbie - from an 'international' aus - wx subscriber based in the UK.

Did any of you see the Volvo advert with Gene Rhoden tornado chasing in it???? I don't know if it was

Michael (and Rossanne),

As you may or may not have noticed, the BoM has a map at http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/nsw/dist_map.shtml with districts and towns/cities marked to help work out exactly where the boundarys are. I would estimate, from the scale provided, that the Central Tablelands covers about 20,000 square kMs, but have a look for yourself...

I would suggest that basically it is named as Central obviously because of it's central position on the ranges with respect to NSW, and Tablelands because the Deviation (Standard Deviation) of the altitude of tops of hills/mountains in the region is relatively small (this is the requirement for tablelands isn't it?).

Hopefully this helps...

Andrew.

Micheal,
    I am contacting you because I am trying to discover a broad definition for the Central tablelands area.  For example what are its boundaries? What approx. area does it cover?  Why is this particular area called the central tablelands?  You have drawn a map of the approx. area on your internet site so I'm guessing you have some idea of it's boundaries and what area it covers because nobody else I've tried calling seems to have any idea. I would really appreciate any information you might be able to give about this.
Rossanne Holmes
