Moderate to heavy showers are hanging about but a few small sunny breaks have developed.

I went for a drive just after lunchtime as a line of showers appeared to approach the coast, the outflow boundary of the showers looked quite nice, and had mammatus underneath it 'inside.' I enjoyed darting in and out of this boundary, with a cool 10kn breeze inside, and temperatures sitting around 13.8-14.1C, and then on the outside temperaurews were sitting just above 15C. No heavy rain, or strong winds - but while taking some video at Murrarrie Reserve, I was shivering away in a shirt, jumper, jacket, and snow-jacket, temperature was 14.1C and the 10kn wind was enough just to make it feel like a freezer (not to mention the light rain). I followed this a little further, before going home. Last night, I noticed some of the lightning active showers (from the Energex lightning tracker) appeared to be coming slightly closer to sure. So at about 12:15am I set out in the rain to see if I could find anything. The drainage in the Redland Shire appears to be quite poor compared to the Brisbane shire - as there was a fair amount of water over the roads, giving you the odd aquaplane. Most of the rain was moderate, to moderate to heavy - but near Capalaba (where the koala speed limit zone goes from 70km/h to 80km/h) I ran into a 20-40 that gave a flash of lightning overhead. A little later while talking to Matt SMith, near Cleveland Point I saw another (blue) flash of lightning out to sea. I contined to Cleveland point and drove around slowly, before deciding to let the rocking cars have some peace and quiet :-) I had a midnight (well, 1am) snack at McDonalds, and headed back home. Better then nothing I say :-) Currently 13.4C, light rain and COLD! John Woodbridge wrote: > > Hi Ben, > > 26.0mm to midnight at Mt.

Up to midday I had another 2mm or so: 35.2mm all up. Of course when was the most intense/heaviest rain? During last night's Broncos V Cowboys NRL match. I was in the Eastern Stand getting soaked, and it was a chilly 12C also. You can't stay dry even with 4 layers of clothing on (including jackets). Nevertheless, it was a pretty good game. I tell you what, it was great to get into the car and turn the heat on!! Of course, that was after I fiiiiiiiiiiinally got my spray jacket off - the zip was stuck and driving me insane. Oh well...at least my team won and we had some pretty good rain. Currently 1.45pm or so and we have light rain, which looks like it'll go on all day judging by radar. It's also interesting to see that in the last 2 hours, a thunderstorm has been drifting *just* off the Gold Coast. It had 40-100mm/hour intensity for 50 consecutive minutes and some CG strikes on the Energex Tracker. Latest radar shows quite a nice area of pink SE off the Gold Coast.

It would be ever so helpful if we had animation and more details about the situation synoptically and on the mesoscale. In the absence of anything else, with just these images, I would have to guess that this was a central rain and/or snow shower. The cloud is very shallow and it would appear that the air surrounding the shower is very near saturation with some compensatory rising motion on the edges of the precip shaft. But all this is speculation. Les ************************ Leslie R.

One point i would like to clarify..... , Last night, I noticed some of the lightning > active showers (from the Energex lightning tracker) appeared to be > coming slightly closer to sure. Aren't 'lightning active showers' storms? By definition..... I mean thunderstorms are thunderstorms because of one vital ingredient....thunder, which denotes some type of lightning stroke, hence the showers that are lightning active are and have actually become storms. dann __________________________ Daniel Weatherhead Blaxland, NSW weatherhead at ozemail.com.au SYDNEY STORM CHASERS www.sydneystormchasers.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2000 15:57:36 +1000 From: Anthony Cornelius X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Subject: Re: aus-wx: Queensland Rain Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi Dann, Well folks - you're dammed if you do, and you're dammed if you don't :) dann weatherhead wrote: You're totally correct Dann and I couldn't agree more, but for a few months now, I've been getting people asking me "how can you call a shower with a few rumbles of thunder/flashes of lightning a storm, it's just a thundery shower." I do refer them to Doswell's pet peeves page, but I don't know if they do. Basically - I just said that to keep a few people quiet - not having a go at anyone, but when I typed the title "Queensland Storms and Rain" I thought that I simply couldn't be bothered arguing the point again and again, and again. I guess perhaps a few very lucky and fortunate people are too spoilt, and have been too spoilt and would like to think that if they're reading about a "storm" it at least has lots of lightning, thunder, heavy rain and strong winds in it. Rather then the other option of a storm being just some precip and the odd flash of lightning. I'm not having a go at anyone here at all - please, I don't want to sound as if I'm complaining about people doing this. Everyone is entitled to have their opinion - the only reason why I'm saying this is because I was asked about it - and hence my first sentence :-) Still cold here! 15.3C brrrrr Anthony Cornelius +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ To: "Australian Weather Mailing List" Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2000 23:05:50 +1000 From: "Michael Powell" X-Sent-Mail: on X-Expiredinmiddle: true X-Mailer: MailCity Service Subject: Re: aus-wx: Cold in Queensland X-Sender-Ip: 202.139.226.20 Organization: MailCity (http://www.mailcity.lycos.com:80) Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hello Tony + List I remember seeing a news report about snow at Ayers Rock a few years ago. The television news piece showed amateur footage taken by a tourist. The snow looked more like sleet. The Musgrave Ranges (around 1300-1400m elevation) to its south just inside the SA border should be capable of receiving snow if there is enough moisture. The furthermost north in Queensland which recieves snow is an area in the Granite Belt which stretches from the NSW border to just south of Stanthorpe. Here the snow rarely settles for more than a few hours. Michael Hi Blair, Do you or anyone else know what the furtherest north location of snowfall in Aust.?has it ever snowed at the summits of say Bellenden Kerr or Bartle Frere in north QLD?I know that it can get surprisingly cold up there (1600-1700m,QLD highest peaks)even though they are in the tropics.I assume this would have to be an overnight event with an eyewitness account,but it would be interesting to know. >From: Blair Trewin >Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com >To: aussie-weather at world.std.com >Subject: Re: aus-wx: Cold in Queensland >Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 10:09:25 +1000 (EST) > > > > > Apart from the chill of 56-16, it was only 18 in Townsville and 17 in > > Mackay yesterday and 15 at Charters Towers.
