What models are you looking at Les ?
All the AVN models I know of only go out 72hours. The one at
http://www.sexa.com/mz23/7.ht has CAPE at approx 1400 on the north coast of
NSW for late Tuesday, drifting into QLD overnight and probably ( model runs
out ) rebuilding in SE QLD on Wednesday.
The MRF has Total Totals of 55 on Wednesday for NE NSW.
GASP at http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/medr/mslpTH8.html is still going for
storm chasers heaven this week, even after a few updates since they first
picked it up.
Regards
Michael

Then there's "The Great Flood" of biblical proportions with Noah's
ark said to be found some considerable way up Mt Ararat...
P.S. This is not intended to be offensive or to start a debate.
It is designed to point out that even with today's technology,
we can still get the positions of ships and aircraft disasterously
wrong as Air New Zealand aircrew found out far too late when trying
to negotiate around Mt Erebus in Antartica:-( Is it not surprising
that biblical accounts could also suffer from an excess of
"jounalistic license" and "navigation errors"?

Hi
That AVN link is rather interesting. Make it ".htm" instead of ".ht" and
yeah.. we just might break through the CAP today ;).

Hey Michael, E veryone..
Geeze i don't mind the look of what AVN is forecasting I'll have to
make the effort to be in the north coast of NSW if those forecast charts
are anything to go by.. although it looks like cloudy conditions could
cover the best parts

As widely reported in the media, there has been severe flooding, from
what seems to be a near-stationary front, in southern France.
I have seen a report of 222mm in 24 hours from Perpignan (on the
Mediterranean coast near the Spanish border). There were media reports
(posted on uk.sci.weather) of falls of 400+mm in 12 hours, but I don't
know how much credence to place in them. The Meteo-France site, not
surprisingly, isn't a lot of help.
It certainly isn't the first time that the Mediterranean coast has got
a great deal of rain in this time of year - there were falls of 800mm
in a few days in southern Spain in November 1989. Still an impressive
effort, though.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ADVICE
BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
NEW SOUTH WALES REGIONAL OFFICE

This advice affects people in the following weather districts:
North West Slopes and Plains
Central West Slopes, north of a line Peak Hill to Sofala
Central West Plains, north of a line Nyngan to Peak Hill
Central Tablelands, north of Sofala to Molong
Hunter
Thunderstorms are forecast within the advice area over the afternoon and

Some of these are expected to be severe, bringing destructive winds and

Some nice congestus over sydney earlier, it seems to have died off,

All of it seems to be north of Sydney :(

Yep, that nasty west wind just took all surface moisture away.
The AVN CAPE model had it right again as it saud Sydney would be just too
south.

The Williamtown radar that shows the spiral shaped echo north of Maitland
I have put at: http://hardy.ocs.mq.edu.au/~m3052695/williamtown.gif Don't
know whether it is anything significant since the resolution isn't quite
down to the storm scale and there doesn't seem to be a very well defined
clear echo region. Non the less, I thought it was worth putting up.
Anyone care to comment?

What do ASWA people think of the following idea...Because broad-
scale radar (1024km) lacks most of the individual storm detail,
should I drop this from the ASWA radar archive and include most,
if not all of the narrow-scale (256km) radar sites instead? If
so, given that I archive all capital cities with narrow-scale
and grafton, what additional sites are a priority due to their
access by storm-followers and severe-wx potential?
What made me think about this idea was two factors;
1) Most (95%) radar archive requests are for the small-scale.
2) Paul Graham's post today about the Williamtown radar "spiral
echo" was only covered in the archives by the Sydney broad-scale
radar and thus, could not be easily seen.

Here it is for all to see - posted from uk.sci.weather.....
**
Torrential rain in SW France has led to serious flooding - with 18 people
reported
dead and 7 missing. The d�partements of H�rault, Tarn, Pyr�n�es-Orientales
and
especially Aude are the worst affected.
Aude
Floodwater up to 2 metres deep swept into L�zignan-Corbi�res in the early
hours of
the morning after a river burst its banks. French TV News on Saturday
evening
showed firemen chest-deep in fast-flowing water rescuing people from their
homes.
In L�zignan some 25% of the population - 2000 people - have been affected.
The
area is said to have had around 400 mm rain in 12 hr overnight - some places
may
have had up to 500 mm.
The village of Villedaigne between L�zignan and Narbonne also suffered damage.
All roads north from Narbonne are blocked by floodwater.
4 people were found drowned at Davejean - SW of L�zignan - after their car had
been carried away by floodwater. Another car containing a woman and her 2
children was also swept away. The children were able to escape, but the car
and
the mother have not been found.
Another person drowned after falling into the water at Villeneuve-Minervois -
NE
of Carcassonne.
Tarn
A mother and her 3 children died during Friday night at Labastide-Rouairoux -
east
of Mazamet - when their house was overwhelmed by a mudslide.
In Mazamet a fireman saw a car and its occupant fall into the River Thor�.
He
himself spent 3 hours holding on to a telegraph pole at La Richarde near
Mazamet
before being rescued.
Thousands of people have had telephones and/or electricity cut off. In some
places the drinking water supply has failed.
Pyr�n�es-Orientales
Perpignan has suffered extensive flooding following 222 mm rain in 24 hr
between
Friday morning and Saturday morning.
A young woman of 22 was killed at Laroque-les-Alb�res south of Perpignan when
she
was swept into the sewers after the pavement collapsed under her.
2 people were killed at Estagel NW of Perpignan when a wave of mud and water
up to
2m deep swept through the village on Friday evening.
2000 people had to be evacuated at Saint-Laurent-de-La Salanque NE of
Perpignan
when a dyke threatened to break.
In the Lot d�partement further north, 10 cavers are trapped in 2 cave
systems. 7
are trapped in a system near Gramat following a sudden rise in the water level
and
3 others have not been heard of since entering another cave system on Friday.
Information from the website of TV France 2
http://www.france2.fr/infos/sommaire-info.htm and Saturday evening's France
2 TV
news.

Just goes to show what you can find if you hunt around - Britain isn't
particularly on speaking terms with France so news is being somewhat
restricted - you guys probably know more than we do. Something about mad
cows, mad humans, politics, sewage and Frenchmen.
This kind of severe weather event can happen in France when a front
stalls.
However the trusty old BBC has this:

Yeah Michael,
Perth Broad would be needed for us WA chaser's, as there isn't much
apart from Kal, and Geraldton that are only scales, not loop's. Which is why
we need Perth broad loop to be continued. Thanx Michael.

I am happy with this, locally I would like Moree, Gympie and Williamtown.
Speaking of radar has everybody noticed how disgusting the Sydney broad
scale has been for a week now, like car windscreen after an outback tour.

One impact of the dry westerly winds in Canberra both yesterday and today
has been evident with the arrival of mid-high level rain bands around 4-5pm
EDT. The dryness of the air has meant that most of the precipitation
evaporated giving falls of only 1 or 2mm. The really interesting impact has
been the temperature drop of around 7or 8 degrees as the rain started -
falling from around 18 or 19 down to 11 - 12 in a matter of minutes. With
the strong winds the windchill factor has made it feel a lot colder.
Apparently Summer is only 2 weeks away.....??
On another tack I notice most models are promising a decent trough system
for late in the week and over the weekend. NGP is pretty spectacular for
Saturday with action for most of eastern and SE Aust extending to cover even
Adelaide. Hopefully this will be maintained as the week goes on.
Patrick

On the subjest of windscreens, I can recommend a product called RainX for car windows....it is great in heavy rain, and
it also seems to make it a lot easier to get the bugs off the glass too.
However, some people don't like it..probably a personal thing...but I can recommend it!
Regards,
Andrew Puddifer.
