Hi all
 
Even though I hate sending offtopic emails, I thought this may have been of interest to some, given the preoccupation with The Cloud a few weeks back...
 
As seen on the Qld policy statement this morning:
 
An upper trough will amplify over Qld late Sunday and Monday
generating a cloud and rain over the state.
 
Love those clouds covering the whole state :)

In southwesterly flow aloft the Rockies frequently induce lee cyclogenesis. A surface trough sets up just E of the Rockies, and W of OK. Southerly or southeasterly trajectories off the Gulf of Mexico are pretty common in OK in these setups. There was a cold front sagging into the TX panhandle on the day, but the initiation of the tornadic storm occured on a very weak boundary / wind shift line running E-W. It required the OK Mesonet (station spacings are a few 10s of kilometres) to detect that boundary in the surface data. Last Saturday (28 Oct) I encountered an interesting cyclonic shear zone under the leading edge of a squall line moving E into OK. As I emerged from a dense precip core with moderate N winds, I saw raincurtains racing across the freeway from the S! Then, near Elk City (OK), the 18-wheeler trailer ahead of me starting leaning to the left at ~ 80 km/h, with its right wheels off the ground. A curtain of leaves (and dirt?) blew in from my right, just like in a bad movie script. The trailer stabilised, the leaves disappeared, and I am left wondering what that whole thing was. I'll check the Frederick 0.5 deg. velocity at 23:10 UTC and see whether it was more than cyclonic shear.

Authorities said at least four people were killed. A spokesman for London's Heathrow Airport, the world's busiest for international travellers, said many flights were delayed or cancelled because of the weather. British Airways alone cancelled 66 flights out of Heathrow and 22 from Gatwick - London's second-largest airport - by midmorning due to high winds. More flights were expected to be grounded, and some arriving flights were also diverted. All flights out of Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport were temporarily suspended and France's trains were running at half-speed. Much of Britain's rail network was brought to a standstill by the storms. The high-speed Eurostar rail service from London to Paris and Brussels was halted after winds gusting up to 145kph littered the track with fallen trees and debris overnight. A Eurostar spokesman urged customers to delay travel plans for at least a day, saying it was unclear when the rail lines could be properly cleared. Rail service from central London to Heathrow Airport was also cut. Road travel in Britain slowed to a crawl as well. Large sections of the M25 highway circling London were closed as drainage channels failed to cope with the sheer volume of water. Other arteries were also affected. One person was killed and two seriously injured last night when a tree fell onto a busy roadway in southern England, striking two passing cars. A motorist was killed last night in London and another today in southwest England after his motorcycle apparently hit a fallen free. In France, one person in a car was crushed to death by a falling tree this morning in the Seine-Maritime region near the English Channel port of Le Havre, officials said. At sea, six ferries were forced to seek shelter in a bay on the southeast coast of England after authorities at the Dover seaport decided that gale-force winds and high seas could make docking unsafe. Ferry service resumed later in the day. Off the coast of France, an Italian cargo ship carrying chemical products sent out distress signals as gale-force winds lashed the Atlantic coast. A Coast Guard official in Rome said that all 14 people aboard the vessel were taken ashore by helicopter. In southern England, nearly 30,000 homes lost electricity over the weekend and early today as winds gusting up to 145kph snapped power lines and uprooted trees. Severe flooding forced families out of dozens of homes in Wales and southern England. Two tornados - rare in Britain - were also spawned by the storms. A twister struck a trailer park in Selsey, 80 kilometres southwest of London early today, injuring two people and leaving a trail of wreckage. Eyewitnesses said the tornado came in from the sea and swept along the trailer homes, ripping off roofs and smashing windows on nearly 200 of the frail wooden structures. About a dozen were overturned. Another tornado hit the coastal town of Bognor Regis, a few kilometres east of Selsey, last night, injuring four people and damaging hundreds of homes. Britain's last recorded tornado struck Selsey in January 1998. British insurers fear that the storms could be the most costly since 1990, with damages already estimated to be climbing past STG2 billion ($A5.46 billion). The storm was expected to affect other parts of Europe later today and in the next few days. High winds were already disrupting some ferry traffic between Denmark and Sweden. Denmark's domestic Maersk Air suspended flights to the Danish island of Bornholm, located south of Sweden at the entrance to the Baltic Sea. The storm was expected to hit the northern part of Denmark's main Jutland peninsula later today. In Norway, gale-force winds were forecast for the west coast and flooding was expected in parts of the south. -- Mark Dwyer Storm Chaser, Photographer & Webmaster of: Downunder Severe Weather http://dsw.au.com and a Member of the Australian Severe Weather Association Inc. http://www.severeweather.asn.au +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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------------------------------ From: "Les" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: Storms rip through Britain and France Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 19:31:44 -0000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6600 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Dwyer" To: Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 6:35 PM Subject: aus-wx: Storms rip through Britain and France Yup well nasty - small area of deep LP travelling up the English Channel...

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Blackheath 8:45am, Tuesday. Hi all, Quite cool yesterday in Blackheath, with only 9.5 degrees at my place as the max. Not much rain though, so far. Coming up to 9am, there's only about 1.5mm in the gauge for the last 24 hours. Currently its still in single figures (around 9, haven't checked the screen temp) with spitty rain. On another note, I had just about the worst new computer disaster yesterday, it was laughable, after I cried, initially. Wrong software came with the computer (computer came by courier), forgot to include speakers, floppy drive inserted crookedly and then the computer blew up as I turned it on, after following the installation instructions perfectly! Turns out, the factory forgot to set it to Australian voltage! It was on the American setting. So power supply amd maybe other things are fried. And this is from one of the biggest and best computer companies in the world! Hmm, at least the support line has been great and they've thrown in a few freebies...like a half share in the company :-) As a result, I will only be online periodically with this old computer until the techie comes to install the new power supply/or take away the computer for more repairs. Apologies to those personal emails I haven't responded to as yet. Unfortunately, computer problems are the least of our personal stresses just now...we are still laughing though, what else can you do! Cheers, from a cool and lovely Blackheath. The best place in the world to be stressing out...

An upper-level disturbance currently located WSW of Adelaide should be able to put that PBL moisture to good use later today by increasing the lapse rates through some upper-level divergent flow NE of its centre. The model I looked at showed a vort max stalling out at the coast by 06Z, and little in the way of synoptic lift. Once again I do not believe the overly pessimistic model. Rather, I see a chance for convection over W VIC and W NSW later.

Hi Everyone,
 
I have uploaded a report on the system that effected QLD over the last few days.  It includes a summary of significant AWS observations, rainfall amounts and also the pictures i took this morning
 
 
Satellite pictures etc etc will be added by this evening.
 
If you look at anything, then let it be this:
 
 
While i am not disspointed with the picture, it is very hard to convey the scene with a few words and a still picture.  The catchment area for that dam had over 200mm dumped on it in the 24 hours to 9am, and the sound of the water slamming down into the creek bank below that spillway was just mind blowing
 
October has been excellent - roll on Nov/Dec (the best months of our severe storm season)
 
This LI forecast from AVN is encouraging
 
(thanks to James Chambers for pointing it out)
 
-10!!!!!! While i don't know what the moisture profile is like etc, AVN is obviously forecasting some extreme instability.  Knowing my luck it'll either be heavily capped our their will be too much moisture, as i just gave my old digital camera to my sister in Rockhampton so she can take weather shots for me :D

After i saw the report on channel 10, i called them an asked where it was (they didn't say in the report) and the person i spoke to said it was just east of Charters Towers - i call again a day later and i get a whole different story. Using this site http://www.auslig.gov.au/mapping/names/names.htm You can see that there actually is a town called silver valley east of Charters Towers, along with what they have dubbed a "park or reserve" for the location you have pointed out. I have to wonder if (presuming it was a tornado that caused the damage) this thing stayed on the ground the whole time - i figure people up there are the same as they are down here. Unless damaged is done to their house or farm buildings, they probably not going to report it - or if they do it'll be thrown in during a conversation with the local policeman at the pub a week later. That is not meant to offend anyone, it's just the way it is. (that actually happened earlier this year - a next door neighbour of my dads property at gympie suffered extensive damage to bushland in a long and narrow stretch after a severe storm, and i only found out about it because he threw it in during a conversation with my dad at the pub) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl Smith" To: Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 4:24 AM Subject: Re: aus-wx: 2 more possible tornadoes > Hi Ben and All. > > >Hi Everyone, > > > >Some interesting reports starting to filter in now - those who watched > >channel 7 or 10 tonight would have seem some very nasty damage in the > >northern QLD town of Silver Valley, which is just east of Charters Towers. > >The damage included a house very badly damaged/pretty much buggered, an area > >of forest with it's trees stripped of leaves, and a small plane blown 30m > >from its original location.

With regard to the Tornado..the front page of the Cairns Post today shows a coloured photograph of the damage to the home at Silver Valley. Text reads, in part: "Tornado wrecks rural home" by Lea Blakesley A silver Valley couple yesterday said they feared for their lives as a ferocious mini-tornado ripped through their home. The rare weather event hit the isolated small community, west of Ravenshoe on the Atherton Tableland, at about 5pm Saturday, wreaking a path of destruction in about five minutes. Hank Peeters and Sandra Brown bore the brunt of the 200km/hr-plus winds which destroyed an outhouse, comprising two bedrooms and a storeroom, and ripped off the roof of the main part of their fibro home, which was flooded with more than 12cm of water. The couple, who had farewelled visitors just before the tornado hit, were forced to spend the night in nearby Innot Hot springs before returning to their home on Sunday. Neighbours reported some minor structural damage while vegetation along the road also was damaged. Hank and Sandra said they watched for 30 minutes as the tornado, initially thought to be a storm, approached. "We are used to storms here but we never anticipated it was going to be as severe as it was," said Mr. Peeters, who had never seen anything like it in his 18 years in the valley. "I remember thinking the house was going to go". The couple was dumbfounded and shocked when they saw the devastation after the storm had passed. Roofing iron and firbreglass were strewn more than 200metres away from the house, with some sheets pierced through and wrapped around trees. Trees, demarked and stripped of their leaves, were uprooted and twisted while thick, timber pickets were embedded in the ground. "We'd had some good wind before, the type you get from a storm but this was completely unexpected." Ms. Brown said. ............................................................ SES disaster operations officer Bob McZLagan, who was among the helpers, said the hail was phenomenal. "It was one foot deep in some places" he said. "I have never seen the explosive type damage before." Cairns Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Mike Marrinan said mini-tornadoes - which develop at the base of severe thunderstorms - were reasonably rare in the tropics. Mr. Marrinan said a typical tornado would have wind speeds of more than 200 km/h. End of Quote. Hope you found that little bit of local interpretation interesting.

Ravenshoe is about 25 miles or so S of Atherton, and is high on the W slopes of the W range of the Atherton Tablelands. It is in the transition zone between the very wet tablelands climate and the much drier inland climate - it more frequently rains on the E side of the town and is far drier on the W side - the transition over 3 or 4 km is quite startling. It also boasts the highest pub in Queensland, which has nothing to do with the amount of weed smoked there......:-) Regards, Carl. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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 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: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 19:21:13 +1100 (AEDT) From: Jonty Hall To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Subject: Re: aus-wx: pics + report + LI forecast Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi Ben, The MRF has been consistent with this LI peaking at -8 to -10 for several runs now - CAPE is progged to peak at over 2000 J/Kg in the area. GASP is very similar as well. Even better, the winds look pretty good, with sfc-600 shears of 45 knots - if the surface holds northerly, then helicity would be in the hundreds. Upper jet is well positioned over central Australia and running >100 knots. Plenty of moisture with low level dew points in low 20s. Capping may be the only problem as you say, but it doesn't look too strong on the current model runs, and they have reasonably strong low level convergence associated with this fairly sharp trough approaching the area. Certainly worth keeping an extra close eye on for Thursday and Friday in Wide Bay/Burnett and Capricornia areas. I move back up to Brisbane in about 2 weeks - I wish it was 2 days!!!!

The interaction of the jet stream with fronts in a high humidity situation over victoria I think would be a great situation for big thunderstorms. Am I right or wrong? Can anybody help me?
I live in Nth. Bayswater Vic. Aus. and and would love weather emails from anybody when there are thunder storms in our area.
