Hi everyone,

I have seen some lightning overnight, it was in the South to the
Adelaide hills. Few CC and CG. Nice lightning so far. But it died out 20
minutes later. Weather change has gone thru after that before midnight.
I am so exciting and happy to see it again since August.

Hope we might get some more thunderstorms in October.

From Nathan.

Firstly I live in a 2 storey house which makes spotting thunderstorms easier 
when they are almost on the horizon.  I live just to the south east of the 
CBD of Adelaide as well.

I was about to head off to bed last night when some rain started to fall.  
I(Just after 11:00pm) looked outside and to the west, must have been just 
off the Adelaide coatline I saw a fairly large flash of lightning.  The 
lightning strikes had large gaps between them but increased rapidly as the 
thunderstorm hit the southern Adelaide Hills, (at around 11:30pm or so) it 
moved quickly east inland after tracking south east, must have occurred down 
near the further most Southern Suburbs.  The thunderstorm then slowed 
rapidly with more frequent lightning strikes, could only just here some 
faint thunder.  Both horizontal and vertical lightning then occurred at one 
stage covering horizontally the whole hill top excellent show!  At this 
stage I was viewing the far back of the storm got some video footage but not 
of the good lightning just a few flashes.  There was a considerable gust of 
wind at one stage that ripped a few twigs off some trees as the storm hit 
the hills.  Then the thunderstorm died out and no more lightning was could 
be seen.  I had an enjoyable night even though the thunderstorm just missed 
Adelaide!  I have been really craving some lightning activity and it was a 
great display

Great to see you had something to smile about thunderstorm wise. By the 
way, I might have missed it, what is your name and tell the list a little 
about yourself and how you got into the weather.

Thanks

For those interested in records NT, WA, Queensland and NSW could be worth
watching today and tomorrow for record high maximum temperatures. Already
there have been numerous date and (not so numerous) month records in this
event (for historical records see
http://www.earthsci.unimelb.edu.au/~blair//extremes/extpage.html). What has
caught my eye with this event is the extent of the warmth and its duration
(eg see http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/tempmaps/weekmaxa.shtml ). The month
as a whole will probably come in with the second highest maximum temperature
anomaly on record behind the exceptional September of 1980 (which was nearly
1C warmer than any other September since 1950).

Cheers,

David.

Can't believe that it is so sunny at Homebush right now, Friday  29th,
9.05am, for the Mens' Walking Race. Here at Mona Vale we are experiencing
fog. A quite rare experience for Mona Vale.  The fog is now lifting a little
but was at tree top height about 30 minutes ago.

Good morning,

A band of thunderstorms has persisted for the better part
of the night between Swan Hill (VIC) and Renmark (SA) in extreme NW VIC.
Along the surface the storms occur in the NW corner of a
surface moisture tongue extending N from MEL, and right along a baroclinic zone
that locally extends E-W.  According to the AVN initialised 
12Z on 28 September, a strong mid-level/upper-level jet is nosing into the 
area (at 21Z) which might explain the longevity (and hence organisation) of the electric action.

The AVN claims that the area of interest is (once again) CAPE-free,  and 
the MEL radar composite probably overshoots most of the stuff
as evident in the faint radar reflectivity.  This goes to show 
that there is a possibility that radars do not clearly show *existing* storms,
and that storms can exist in zero-CAPE AVN atmospheres (the same
is probably true for other models).  

Does anyone in NW VIC have some surface obs to report??

Cheers, Harald

    The line of of storms was exactly that, a line. Looking at it from the 
front of my house (looking West) it kept to a pretty straight line 
throughout the morning and early afternoon with sporadic lightning 
increasing to 2-3 a minute around 12:30pm.
    The line was running approx W to E and was pretty uninteresting looking 
underneath. There were moments of mammatus, but these would quickly 
disappear. It probably looked better viewing from Wollongong as Nth of the 
line it was clear with only Cu moving through.
    At about 12:30pm the line started to move NE and the lightning picked up 
in intensity with some heavy passing showers and one CG less than 500 mtrs 
away which got both my young boys screaming.
    It turned yellow on the radar for about 10 mins, with one bit just Sth 
of Nowra and two others near Shoalhaven Heads. No images as Video camera and 
No. 1 camera were in car with wife and other son in Nowra.
    Come lunch time (1:00pm) it had cleared and there was a back shear to be 
seen as it moved out to sea. Nothing then until around4:30pm when there was 
some NICE building going on to the W & SW. But,alas, these quickly built, 
got an anvil and disintegrated.
    Perhaps some more action this afternoon or evening looking at the front 
moving through Eastern Vic at the moment.

Hello everyone,

New storm pics, though not recent - they have been 'stuck' in my old Apple
Quicktake for a while, which is now happy again.

They are of the one and only storm of note in the Elimbah area (north of
Brisbane) this year - date? Brisbane folks may know it - same day as major
storm activity through there.

http://www.schools.ash.org.au/paa/newimages/image06.jpg (perhaps the best)
http://www.schools.ash.org.au/paa/newimages/image07.jpg

SEQ SCH folks are welcome to use any of these on their web site.

These pics from my back yard - plenty of open area up here for great pics
and hilltop lookouts to capture the action from high up, which I've yet to
try.

Folks chasing storms are welcome to venture up this way, drop in and say
hello, perhaps take me along for the ride and/or stay overnight if needed.
Just a quick email or call 0408 746 696.

Hi Harald.
Interesting obs. The prefrontal trough passed my home (Leopold,Geelong.) at
around 0600 this morning with patchy rain ,but was typically composed of
very high based alto cu alto st some embedded "altocumulonimbus", i
estimated cloud base about 13.000 to 14.000ft all of this mid level stuff
was occurring above the FZL which I guess was around 11.000ft. The actual
cold front passed my location at 1110hrs local with only a narrow band of
congesting cu and low top cbs but a wind gust of 85kph.There appears to have
been marked dry air incursion below 10.000 with inflow ahead of the pre
frontal trough rather common in this area. regards Clyve Herbert.

Hi David.
Yes it appears possible for significant heat over northern NSW and QLD
,especially with the northern extension of the deep mid latitude trough
pushing close to the tropics and a marked area of warm advection to the east
of this system.regards Clyve H

A very brief thunderstorm passed just to the north of here at 12.10pm.
Possibly centred just over the border, and heading easterly. About a half mm
and only saw the one bolt of lightning but a little bit of rumbling.
Barometer dropped just slightly since. The wind direction has changed to all
four points of the compass in the last couple of hours. Currently NW at
about 20kmh.

G'day All,

Having an interesting morning along the NW Coast of Tassie. While driving
into Burnie from Devonport I noticed a bright "patch" along a section of
scud cloud moving in from the sea - it lasted around 5 - 8 seconds then
disappeared. I thought it may have been an area of sun light peeping
thru...but about 2 seconds after it faded a lightning bolt blasted it's way
sea ward!! The storm never really took off but seeing that has made my day!
I can only assume that what I seen was "St Elmo's Fire" either that or I
need more sleep!

Hi Harald,

RE - AVN CAPE:  From my observations, I've found it very unreliable,
even the anaylsis CAPE is often very far off.  I'm not sure why, perhaps
it's a lack of sounding/surface observations?  But when I use ARL
analysis/prognosis skew-ts and calculate my own CAPE, I get a fairly
good figure (IMO) - certainly much more accurate then the AVN CAPE. 
I've often found it underestimates by far - perhaps its the algorithm. 
I'm assuming it's not forecasting SFC CAPE either, simply just using the
bottom 100mb mean moisture - but still, even when I do that - I get more
accurate figures then they do...

3.30pm very lightning active, high based (with virga visible), LP storm 
currenlty passing over Canberra. Quite a few very close CGs and very loud 
thunder.

The strong NW winds have become light NW as the storm moves overhead.

Not expecting much general precipitation although there could be some 
localised heavy falls and possibly hail.

Sydney's temp at 3 pm this afternoon was 33.8; at 3.10 it was 34.1 and
at 3.20 34.4 degrees.
Sydney's all time record September temperature is 34.6 on 26 September
1965 - could be another Olympic Record coming up !!!

Lots of warm rain over the NSW and Vic alps as the trough moved
through around the middle of the day. 9 to 3 totals of 13 at Falls
Creek, 19 at Mt Hotham, 11 at Crackenback and 21 at Perisher with max
temps today of 8, 7, 7 and 11 respectively. 9am snowdepth was 170cm at
Charlotte Pass and 151 at Falls Ck, both down about a metre in the
past fortnight. Expect some more flood warnings.

Top temps of 37 and 38 over much of northern NSW west of the ranges
today, along with a gutsy 37 at Grafton.

Hi Clare & others

At 4.15pm Canberra is still going off with beautiful CG's taking direct hits 
on Mt Majura and Mt Anslie...a great sight from the 6th floor !! Very loud 
and long thunder adding to the spectacle....what a great week in The 
Southern Tablelands.

The continuing downpour is certain to cause 'wet conditions' as our BoM 
friends would say.

Let's hope some of our 'bright' ACT drivers take care on the roads 
tonight....remember there's free double bonus demerit points this weekend 
!!!

Looks like an interesting front is once again approaching the south east 
tomorrow.  I wonder if BOM will quickly update the forecast from a shower or 
two to more showers and a possible thunderstom for Adelaide, about a 1/2 an 
hour before the front crosses tomorrow like they did last night at 11:15pm 
when I actually saw the first flash of lightning. There almost seems to be 
no point of updating it at that time of night, although I do prefer an up to 
date weather forecast.  I mean the only people who are going to look it at 
that time of night are weather heads, boat operators and plane operators and 
there were already flashes of lightning around.  Couldn't they have 
predicted it early last night, lots of warm air, humidity increasing, active 
trough approaching plus what they called a significant cold front????  
Anyway not much did end up developing except the thunderstorm I mentioned in 
my last e-mail.

Wonder what tomorrow's weather holds in store.  Won't hold my breath for a 
t'storm or lots of rain but you never know!!!

Afternoon All !

Matt Smith is currently down just south of Gunning, around 30 kms north of 
Canberra , and as the other canberra people have out it, it is really going 
off. He is seeing Cgs every 10 seconds all round him and is having trouble 
which way to point the video camera ! He has also reported the extremely low 
amounts of precip with these cells, but when it has rained they have been 
extremely large drops.
Currently he has a very large RFB base behind him to the E . Looking at 
radar it doesnt look like anything special but the Lightning tracker is 
really going off.

Hopefully in Sydney later tonight we might see some action start to build up 
as the front / trough passes through !

James H

there appears to be two lines of rain on the radar, heading NE towards
Wollongong/Sydney areas. About to go chase onto escarpment behing Illawarra
now. Would appreciate any reports of increases in activity heading my way,
or advice on which way to head if the storms die out before Wollongong.
Mobile number is 0418 671 851. Thanks in advance, and hoping for more than
just a spectacular sunset like last night.

Blackheath NSW 17.50 EDST.

Strong northwesterlies ahead of the front now passing through Sydney
have brought some remarkably sudden temperature rises on the coast
south of Sydney as they've blown out the seabreeze. Check out the
temps from Bellambi:

20.8 to 31.1 in 26 minutes -- probably less, as the 1600 report is a
standard time report, and the 1626 is a speci report generated by the
wind change and/or sudden temp change.

Wollongong Airport (Albion Park) was even more interesting with the
NWlies blowing out the seabreeze, which reasserted itself for half an
hour before being blown out again:

One (1) clap of thunder here 10 minutes ago; ominous but generally
featureless sky with about 3 drops of rain.

Wollongong 18:55pm,
Not much happening. Spent anvils and some high based cu around. Generally
clearing to the west now.

Noticed this change in temperature while riding pushbike home. In the space
of 100m, went from mod NE seabreeze, around 24 degrees, sudden wind change
and dry, hot strong NW wind. Probably a difference of 8-10 degrees in the
space of <500m on the cycleway. It heated up my water bottle from cool to
undrinkable in 9 minutes. Very warm, before the wind interchanged between NE
and NW the rest of the way home.

Probably our only hope is for a lightning display off the coast tonight.
Nothing else.

Andrew Godsman

I was able to provide a good weather visual lesson to my staff this
afternoon regarding this. It was an unhealthy smoggy day here in Wollongong,
but as the NW kicked in around 4pm it drove the seabreeze out to sea. This
made quite a marked line on the ocean - clear air than a curtain of solid
white smog at seabreeze front, a few staff started remarking and speculating
what it was - they had no idea, so they had a quick lesson about inversions,
etc.

The remnants of the storm clouds blew through about 6pm. Nothing of note.

Hello,

Olympic Park stats say 35.1 today...

http://www.olympic.bom.gov.au/olympic/products/IDN60024.shtml

Another gold medal performance, I'd say!

Cheers,

Sel.
