As usual Hobart did miss out on the rain. We had 5.5 mm in April, and none
so far in May.

Good rain has fallen across much of Victoria overnight, with the best falls
in Central, North central and Northeast Districts. Some of the better falls
to 9am were 62mm at Mt Buffalo, 58mm at Hunters Hill and 56mm at
Albury-Wodonga in  Northeastern Victoria and 53mm at Mangalore and 50mm at
Seymour in North central Victoria Around the Melbourne area most suburbs
received 10 to 25mm, I recorded 28.4mm in my gauge to 9am the heaviest 24
hour total this year while nearby Lilydale and Coldstream recorded 26mm.
Rain had eased now (11.20am) and only 1mm of rain rain has been recorded
here in Kilsyth since 9am. Dane Newman (Kilsyth) Melbourne.

Hi again,

Verbal reports this morning seem to suggest Wycheproof's 16 mm. was about 
the lowest in the area. Two students from outlying farms told me they had 
"over two inches" as did a teacher from about thirty kilometres NE of 
here...

Kevin from Wycheproof.

<x-rich>Hi everyone


Here are a few chase accounts and photos from James Harris from 1999.
There are 3 here so far, but give me time and I will add the rest he gave
me, another 5-6 i think... but he certainly has plenty of nice photos.

September 26-27 Storm Chase

And if you missed it last time, dont forget to look at his photos of the
likely supercell he chased in the hunter on December 30 last year:

Chance of storms in NSW tomorrow, I think pretty much wherever there is a
good clearing and the sun can do its work, storms will form. Plenty of
instability and moisture out there.

Two very very interesting radar images are to be found on the following
page.....

http://www.rubix.net.au/~cadence/04_05_00.htm

The top image shows a band of showers moving southwards off the coast
and then then ?diverging? (is this the correct terminology?).  The
bottom image shows the low pressure system that developed in the Bight
early this morning which is moving northeasterly....stay tuned weather
watchers - it ain't over til it's over methinks <g>

Many thanks to the Bureau of Meteorology for allowing the use of these
amazing images!

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com

Hi all,


Been a pretty average day today, nice morning, not much cloud but enough to 
keep the temps a little higher. About midday I was lucky enough to see some 
hail!! yes thats right Hail!!  Wasn't much to look at if you can think of 
the smallest hail you have seen and halve that, thats about the size of it :)

As you can guess it didn't last very long on the ground, almost straight 
away it melted. The cloud it came from looked like the average winter type 
cloud, dark based with pretty crappy edges on it but one thing I did notice 
was at the rear of this cloud it seemed to be either rotating or rolling 
was kind of weird to look at probably because I haven't really took much 
notice of winter type clouds before.

Now though I think I will be taking much more interest into winter seasons 
as I have learned that almost every year Adelaide has Cold air Tornadoes 
during frontal squalls. I learned this from the Bureau of Meteorology who 
were very helpful in answering my queries about tornadoes in South 
Australia. They gave me two booklets about cold air tornadoes and about a 
tornado which went through Adelaide in May,1965. very interesting reading, 
which also has maps, pictures, soundings, and damage description and 
atmospheric conditions at the time. Unfortunately no images of actual 
tornadoes. I told them of a picture we have of a 1935 tornado which touched 
down near Appila in the stated mid north, they seemed to be very interested 
and I will be supplying them with the reference to the book from which it 
came. One thing that caught my eye in one of the booklets was on the 12th 
of August 1992, during a severe squall that went over Adelaide, a tornado 
touched down no less than 1km from where we live now, which came as a shock 
to both Kathryn and myself. I think both of us were thinking DAMN!!!! wish 
we lived here then.... Out of the same line of squalls a tornado touched 
down a bit further north near Angaston. So some very interesting reading!! 
I can copy this information and put on a web page if anyone is interested 
in reading it.

Anyway thats about the longest email I have sent to the list so I will 
leave it there.

regards

Andrew

Yes Andrew!  I for one am convinced that if we just watch the clouds more,
sightings will come!  This is not a culture, particularly in the city, that
watches the sky much - I'm sure that for every tornado that touches down
there are dozens of funnels out there waiting to be bagged.

*Now to the serious question*.  I've noticed that in passages of good old
fashioned STRONG cold fronts [all too rare lately], that the initial short,
sharp storm, squall line/roll cloud, gust front, hail etc etc is often
followed within half an hour by a clear, sunny 'slot' that can last for
some time before the deep cold sector post frontal air starts dragging cold
air CB's up from the south west.  What's going on here?  Is there a region
of large scale subsidance immediately behind a frontal surface?  Is it a
matter of lower relative humidity?  Some kind of jetstream action??

All theories will be read avidly......
