Hi Ben
I can access the site now at 10.20 EDST Friday, but a check of the hit
stats for the past couple of days indicates traffic is down by about
15% on normal. I think the problem may lie with internet traffic
issues unconnected with Ozemail. I've had problems getting on to some
common sites in both Australia and the US over the past week.

GASP, LAPS and the latest AVN all have the low over SA moving SE
through about Melbourne late tomorrow morning, with a broad,
slow-moving band of rain amplifying east across Vic, NSW and Qld over
the weekend. All 3 models are looking at 50 to 100mm over a wide area.
There's good upper support for this system, too, with cold air
swinging north around the western side of the low as it moves to the
east of Tasmania, with GASP predicting thicknesses of < 536 and 850
temps < 0 over all Victoria by 1200z Monday.

I've just been guided to the NPMOC website and the BoM sfc chart - it all
looks excellent for severe storm development in most of S and SE Australia -
thanx Matt for that little lot.
Watching with a lot of interest from thousands of miles away....

Hi Les and all

SW QLD is also looking good - although some of the cloud might inhibit
some of the convection there, but AVN is forecasting the LI's to dip
below -10 in a fairly large area, and a with a very large area of 3000+
CAPE, getting up near 3500 in some areas. Shear is quite strong too,
increasing from 20-25kn at 850mb, to 100-120kn up to 2000-300mb, becoming
quite divergent during the latter part of today, and into tomorrow. The
winds don't quite back with height to 180 degrees though, but from last
nights forecasts, about 120 degrees. Still quite significant though.
We should get this system by Sunday...although as Laurier mentioned, it
could turn into rain. But the models have this petering off as it nears
SE QLD, so we'll see what happens. AVN Skew-T's for Sunday are looking
like rain, but interestingly they're only going for 23C at 4pm, giving
us LI's of -5. If you plot 30C onto this, you get LI's in the order of
-11 to -12. And that's only with a DP of 21C, there's the possibility
DP's could be higher if we get rain o'night on Saturday, and it breaks
up with a nice N'ly present. MRF is going for 100kn+ jet, with maximum
divergence values. Providing the rain breaks up, and we get some good
heating, Sunday is bound to be a great day (which is typical as I have
two major exams the next day, both Physics and Maths - and one of them
is worth 75% of my course!!)

With the forecast development and movement of the low it certainly is
looking good for severe storms - somewhere in NSW/QLD - the question is
where.
Given the NSW ASWA meeting on Saturday night I guess we (Sydney people that
is) are restricted in chasing too far from home - unfortunate as the
nortwest slopes and plains looks the goods. I suggest that if things do look
promising locally (ie we dont get rained-in) come Saturday morning, then
interested Sydney chasers / storm spotters congregrate at Rooty Hill
sometime mid-morning/lunch; with any luck well get a live session b4 the
videos later on.
I guess we'll see :)
David

Does anyone know a good way to get rid of that beaded effect in mercury
thermometers? I dropped my max/min thermometer (only a few inches onto
the floor of my screen but it was enough) and the minimum side has a
little ball of mercury about two degrees above the main line of mercury.
I managed to get the maximum side back to normal but the minimum side
still has that little ball of mercury in it. Have I explained the
problem clearly enough?
Thanks,
Lindsay Pearce

Dear all,
I had the same problem with Laurier's site (404 Not Found). So I
eliminated the index.html off the end of the URL address and got in OK.
Don't know why!

No doubt that it will be another Narrabri / Gunnedah special this weekend.
With Sydney my main worry is the cloud mass and the wind direction, we could
be out of the main divergence area and just get winds that are part of the
low circulation. The other problem may be too much cloud.

I hope the MRF performs in the southern hemisphere better than it has here!
After about four days it is a blind chicken over the US. It gets a

Hey Les, everyone..
You can choose to plot over 100 different variables from the site
below.. unfortunately helicity is not one of them.. LI and CAPE are
there though..
http://sgi62.wwb.noaa.gov:8080/cgi-bin/disp_avn.sh
If you have trouble using the site then sing out as i have written a
page on how to use the site, but it's not 100% complete yet and i have
not uploaded it.. but there would be enough there to give a general idea
on how to use the site..

I'm sorry for not replying this sooner...I've just been burried under
with work/study at the moment.
Your email was excellent Leslie, I was particularly interested in one of
your comments (which I was eventually planning on emailing you about).
It's great to have some one that holds extensive knowledge in this
subject That is this:

Given that the original question (back in April) was related to why
coastal showers, that give the same, if not higher precip rates as
thunderstorms do, do not show up with as high precip rates on radar.
>From what you've written here, I was given the impression (essentially)
that lots of small drops, will have the same reflectivity as one large
drop.
Given that coastal showers generally consist of intense small drops of
rain, over thunderstorms with large drops of rain - one could perhaps
conclude that the central reason for the difference on radar
relfectivity is simply because radar sees one 1/4 inch rain drop to have
the same reflectivity as 64 1/8 inch drops.
Is this a correct assumption?

I thought MRF stood for Medium Range F...up.
Although it doesn't appear to be too bad 0-72hrs days as a general rule,
(probably because it's built on the AVN model, and is normally very
similar to AVN 0-72hrs) but normally after that it tends to do as it
pleases.

Mmm.
Well the models may look promising, but we are still evidently sitting in
the sights of a distinctly non-tropical SE airstream originating somwhere
South of NZ. Overnights are still hovering around the 12/13C at Mt. Crosby
with max's well below average. Humidity is not really that high either.
Just returned from lunch (at the pub as is traditional on Friday) where it
was unpleasantly cold & windy - more so than in at least the last 6 weeks
or so. Without measuring, I would guess the current outside temp as being
in the low 20's despite a broken cloud cover. So my guess is this will
just turn into rain as the upper system approaches, unless we lose this
cool SE influence real quick.
John.
>snip
Chilly for November in Brisbane that is.
Mt. Crosby min last night 12.5C, max yesterday 22C, today 23.5. That's
around 5C..7C below average for this location.
John.

Hello Everyone
This is not a good sign if there is rain in Brisbane!
There is a cricket Test match on and if we lose a day with rain this means
Australia is batting last on a deteriorating wicket after Steve Waugh won the
toss. Obviously Steve Waugh should subscribe to the aussie-weather mailing

LOL........that is a new one on me! But it often fits! I like the ECMWF

now about the best model around. Even the ETA has not been performing
well.....not as far as convective precip or soundings.

Anthony and all:
Thanks for your reply to my question.
Yes, the coastal showers apparently tend to be more tropical or stratiform
in nature and therefore have smaller drop size distributions than do the
interior thunderstorms. For those mathematically inclined, the equation is
Z = N (D to the 6th power),
where Z is the radar reflectivity and N is the number of drops in the radar
pulse volume of a given diameter, and D is the diameter of those drops
raised to the 6th power (exponent of 6). Actually this is a summation over
all the different drop sizes.
Again, put more simply, the diameter of the precip particles dominates
reflectivity. Thus, it is possible (highly probable in fact) to get far
more rain from a tropical shower than from an interior thunderstorm with
the same radar reflectivity. For this reason, those rainfall rates listed
for the colors on the radar display are only very rough approximations.
There is another factor I will mention here that you need to keep in
mind.......the coastal, tropical, and stratiform rains are lower topped
than interior thunderstorms. Therefore, the more distant radars may
overshoot some of the former type or detect them as much weaker than the
latter type. (This is made even worse because the former types of rains
have their highest reflectivities very near the ground while the interior
thunderstorms will have elevated [often near the - 15 degree C level]
maximum reflectivities.)
I do hope this is not too confusing to most. If so, I will stop giving all
this detail.

Thanks Lindsay. The thought crossed my mind today while I was away
from my computer that the html extension on index.html may have been
truncated, and that is what has happened. I have just started using
Frontpage 2000 as my main html editor, and Mr Gates, in his great

Lindsay -- I presume you have a six's thermometer, i.e. the
thermometer is u-shaped, min to the left, max to the right, with a
bulb at the top of the minimum side, and alcohol filling the gap
between the bulb and the mercury, and sliders that stay at the min/max
temps. And the blob of mercury is sitting in the alcohol, going up and
down infuriatingly above the main body of mercury.
The safest fix is to cool the thermometer to the point that the blob
and the main body of mercury *just* begin to enter the bulb, but
you'll probably need dry ice for this. The mercury will spread out and
rejoin. If you use this method, be careful to allow the thermometer to
reheat gradually.
A second possibility is to tie a rope firmly to the top of the
thermometer, then swing it around your head (standing well clear of
obstructions!!!) to generate enough downward force on the blob to
encourage it to rejoin its mate. This can have the effect of upsetting
the callibration of the thermometer, however, though if the mercury is
fairly evenly balanced on the left and right sides this is less of a
worry.

Hi everyone,
I suppose this is some worthwhile cause for people to help if they want. I
was sent this and it reminded me of how lucky I was but I suppose that this
person still finds some enjoyment in severe stormy weather. Any suggestions??

On my way to the dentist yesterday afternoon, I visited Solar Flair, a
company that distributes Davis weather instruments like the Weather Wizard
III. I'm trying to negotiate a deal with them to get ASWA members (and BTW
he's interested in joining ASWA!!) a reasonable discount (between 5 &
10%!!!!). They are happy to send equipment all over Australia ($10 per
delivery) and all goods are in regular supply.
If you have been wanting any 'weather watching equipment' and might be
interested in purchasing something for a heck of a lot less than you can get
elsewhere like Dick Smith - please let me know by emailing me at
cadence at rubix.net.au so I can give them some figures to work with. The more
interest we generate, the greater the possible discount for all of us.
If you'd like to see the range of equipment that is available from Solar
Flair, please visit the Davis site

Les,
Your comments regarding the radar are very useful and informative, and I
am sure that a lot of people on the list feel the same way. It is good that
a professional person such as yourself can take the time to explain things
like this to a group of people, of which a large percentage, such as myself,
are amateurs.
Regards,
Rod Aikman

Deniliquin AWS 22 from 3 to 9. Widespread moderate falls (3 to 10mm)
across all Victoria, patchy in NSW, and in SW Qld.
