It could be an interesting evening tomorrow.  I'm supposed to be doing live
relays of our radio club news, but might end up having to shut down and watch
the live entertainment outside instead.

We'll see what happens, though this corner of town (Niddrie) has had a lot of
fizzers lately, where other parts of town have had good storms.  Last good one
was the one which carried the Airport West tornado.  That was one mean storm,
and I was walking home from the tram stop, watching it approach and thinking
there was something different about it.

Ahh, that's the Murphy Effect, a well known property of many devices, which
tends to miminise the probability of a desireable event occuring.  There have
been many documented cases of this effect, but it is still porrly understood.

However, persistance can beat the Murphy Effect, as can someone else (e.g. a
newcomer or non chasing family member, in the case of storms) holding the
camera.  This tends to cause a Reverse Murphy Effect, the intensity of which is
directly proportional to the amount of frustration and / or embarrassment you
are about to experience. ;-)

(tongue planted firmly in cheek ;) ).

The way the Murphy Effect works, it would _attract_ hail, which would be
sufficiently intense to destroy the camera, leaving no visual record. :-)

Hi Dennis,

> situation over victoria I think would be a great situation for big =
> thunderstorms. Am I right or wrong? Can anybody help me?

You mentioned three (out of many) ``ingredients'' conducive to
deep moist convection.  Surface fronts provide low-level lift
and focal boundaries for convective initiation. 
High RH is increasing a parcel's buoyancy.
The jet stream organises convection so that it becomes
longer-lived and, in some cases, develops rotation.
Transverse flows across accelerating/decelerating flow in jet streaks
also lifts air from above.

Cheers, Harald

Hey People

Up nice and early today on my day off, and looking forward to an active day

Listening to the BOM on the radio this morning they are sounding almost as
excited as I am about this trough system moving through the state. The
latest forecast has widespread thunderstorms with locally heavy falls and
flash flooding.

Looking at the models eveything is looking pretty sweet. A very slow moving
trough, associated with a low to our west is entering the state. More that 2
days of easterly and north easterly winds have pushed humidity levels quite
high. An upper level low is also out west. LI's are forecast to go below -5
in western victoria this afternoon with CAPE of 1100 at 6Z.

Visual Obs here today are mostly cloudy, mainly high level stuff with a bit
of altocumulus around :)

A fresh NE wind is blowing and this combined with the cloud has kept the
minimum up near 19 overnight. Radar has some patchy rain to the W and NW of
Melbourne. Lighting tracker shows active storms in NW Vic.

My fear today is that the storms will degrade into areas of rain further
east.

Well it's my day off today and dont have access to a car so if someone is
going to chase in Victoria get in contact with me.

Ph.  (03) 9540 3037

Nick Sykes

Maybe we should all be a bit less harsh on the media when they report 
"mini" tornadoes - after all, if the official forecasters from the Bureau 
are using that terminology, the media could reasonably expect that it is 
correct!  "Typical" tornado? I always thought "typical" meant "average", 
but  I imagine that statistically, the mean wind speed for tornadoes is 
less than 200km/h - anyone?

Care of Macca

Hey pples, If there are any Victorians out there with nothing to do today
for god's sake chase.  This is looking pretty nice ATM (but I can't see
  anything from  sitting in the office!!!!!   ggrrrrrr) and I think people
should get out and chase if they can.  Check the radar before you go, take a
  mobile phone and  get out there!!!!  Oh - AND DON'T FORGET THE CAMERA!!!
People  are always saying how they want to chase when its good - well - its
good
  - its damn good.  There is a severe storm advice out for the NW of the
state so going by that I would initially head for somewhere like Bendigo.  A
  good place to stop and lookout is at Maldon.  There is a fire tower on the
top of a hill which gives AWESOME views in all directions.  Its called Mt
  Tarrengower (spelling??) - there are signs to it in the town of Maldon.

 From "a very frustrated at being stuck at work"

AVN still has Rockhampton pegged tomorrow.... -10 LI's and 3000+ J/kg CAPE.

Very impressive, although I know how easily LI's can be affected by other
factors. Should be an interesting day tomorrow nonetheless...

Anyone on the list live close by?

Looking at the lightning tracker at weatherzone, there is lots around the
NSW-QLD border. Any chance of this moving towards the coast today, or
tomorrow? What is the current lifted indexes?

I wouldn't bother trying to sell them to farmers Michael.  If what happens
to you is just like what happens to me.  It will only happens when you are
actually holding said items.

Next time there is any chance of fun weather happening do a little
experiment.

First, go outside with your camera gear and wait.  Nine times out of ten
nothing will happen.

Then try the same thing with your cameras safely away in their bag and low
and behold, you will have CG's within 200 meters almost instantly.

Regards,

Chris

Hi David,

ASWA is currently compiling a database, in fact there's a small
committee dedicated completely to setting this up!  It'll be put online
in the ASWA members' section, however you'll need to be an ASWA member
to view it.  It is anticipated that this list will list things on
directions, ammenities, mobile phone coverage etc.

That baby was responsible for at least 5 tornadoes and one microburst at
Selsey, four on the Channel Coast and one at Hull, note the sharply defined
back edge of the CF - that's a rearward sloping anafront. Unfortunate loss
of life due to falling trees.

It's caused at least 500 million UKP worth of damage, mostly on the south
coast.

Well it is certainly a candidate for one of the immutable laws of storm
chasing.

At the rest of being wrong as it is still early, the models appear to have
the trough running into very light upper winds in eastern NSW over Friday -
Saturday. Methinks that there will be activity but confined to pulse storms
over the ranges. These can unload large hail, but tend to be short lived.

Get on a plane to the Gympie - Bundaberg -Rockhampton area for Thursday -
Friday , the jet stream is perfect there.

have the day off. Now if you are in that category, and would like to meet 
up, please contact me and express your interest via phone tomorrow 
afternoon or leave a message on my mobile phone. You could also send an 
e-mail by tomorrow night. John cannot be contacted but will contact me 
tomorrow night to see if people might go on Friday. Basically, you would be 
meeting in the city somewhere.

my contact details:

e-mail   jdeguara at ihug.com.au

phone   96271943   before 9pm please

mobile   0408 020468

Thanks. I had a talk for about an hour on the phone and had never talked 
before.
