Hi All
 
Thanks for all the replies. Once i start getting more knowledge of javascripts i will have its as my picture gallery with smaller thumbnails (6 to 10 perpage) and larger pictures also thinking of having animated gifs for the larger pictures and you put you mouse over a dated or sequenced picture and all the pictures taken on that day or that sequence will cycle through changing every 1 minute or so and having a short discription at the bottom (currently where the TEST, Email me....are) but this is a long way away, ive still got to write my report and setup up the links page first!!!.

Hi Matt

Standard seems even higher than usual.  The standard reached a low a few years back when they included the photo of clouds taken from a plane by the director of the BoM.  Wonder when the Beechworth tornado took place.

Michael,
 
Although I don't know TOO many details I can say that the Beechworth tornado was likely to have occurred in November last year when a broad trough was quite persistent through VIC/NSW.  I remember that whilst I was chasing on TDU last year that the DP's in Vic were hitting the 20's with some even reaching as high as 23C and I know that although we had quite weak shear during most, if not all, of that time there was a tornado reported to be in the Beechworth area.  I would say that this is the same event.  I cannot remember the date but i'm sure the guys from the BoM could let us know.  If I find out i'll post it here.
 
Regards,
 
Macca

I guess those wanting to partake in TDU in a few weeks are hoping it will liven up considerably by then. Meanwhile, W Cuba is preparing for the onslaught of Hurricane Michelle, which after forming as a tropical depression over land, was tropical storm strength by the time it moved offshore, and has quite quickly developed to hurricane intensity. Areas around the US Gulf Coast, particularly those up the Florida end, would do well to keep an eye on what could become a major hurricane. The satpic at http://hydra.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real-time/atlantic/images/xxirg8.GIF shows it to be quite an impressive system.

Hi Everybody
 
I'm experiencing quite a delay with my emails to the list.
This has happened with the few I have sent todate.  By way of example an email I sent to the list at 1536h sun 28th has still not appeared.
This I am sending now 1830h Mon.
All I was attempting to do yesterday was to give a report on current conditions which of course is not terribly relevant now.
 
Perhaps I am doing something incorrectly, any ideas.
Thank you,
 
Ashton

This morning there is a good crop of cb about and north of Northland. Here in Auckland we have had some CG action with persistent rain. But the best of the

Hi Stephen, Good to see you back on the list Re: storms, it's been absolutely pathetic down here with regards to this low pressure trough system moving over NZ at the moment. Once again the northern part of the North Island copped the best as far as storms go with this system.I have just heard reports of a tornado near Whakatane. Anyone on hand to record the spectacle ??? Maybe the NZTS should have a more northern base !!!????? We did have some thunder along the Canterbury Fooothills last Monday but nothing really all that startling. I didn't bother going off to investigate, relying on reports from contacts I have in the area. Raining now with the southerly about to freshen.

I know that they arent the only things i should be looking at but i want to learn some other forecasting tools that you use, and hopefully someone can explain how to interpret them!

While i'm writing this, outside my house there is gusts of 24 m/s and the situation has been almost the same in last 15 hours. I'm living some 150 kilometers off the coast, where the wind speed has been much higher, up to 37 m/s in gusts. The maximum 10 minutes average windspeed has been 29 m/s in some weather stations in the coast. In central Finland, the rain turn to wet snow, and the result was a heavy snowstorm. Some 40 000 households have been suffering from power blackouts last 24 hours in that area. Also the whole Aland Isles area between Finland and Sweden have been suffering from long blackouts, not because of snow but because of trees falling down to power lines. An iranian cargo ship is in deep touble in west coast when it lost all powers. The waves have been about 10 meters high, and the coast guard is rescueing the sailmen.

Hi All
 
Thanks for all the replies. Once i start getting more knowledge of javascripts i will have its as my picture gallery with smaller thumbnails (6 to 10 perpage) and larger pictures also thinking of having animated gifs for the larger pictures and you put you mouse over a dated or sequenced picture and all the pictures taken on that day or that sequence will cycle through changing every 1 minute or so and having a short discription at the bottom (currently where the TEST, Email me....are) but this is a long way away, ive still got to write my report and setup up the links page first!!!. For those of you who have not seen it look here...
 
Test page www.geocities.com/simons_tdu2001/javatest2/  Pls check this out and tell me what you think.

Weatherzone still has GASP charts (MSLP, RH, Temp's, etc) - the black and white format ones, not the colour ones like the ones that existed on the link above. Anyone else have any more info?

Is this correct ? How come. I am afraid I haven't been >watching what's happening there... was more than 1 event involved?? Don, I presume you are quoting from the Lonsdale Site - number 086338, which "had" 7.8mm. Even this figures, which fell on the 9th is incorrect, as the official (86071 site - Exhibition Street) ob had 0.2mm on this day. More interestingly, site 86338 does not have a rain gauge attached to it... so my suspicion is that the rouge observation is due to a power surge or similar... Eventually, quality control procedures will remove this observation, but these take around 3 months after months end to be finalised (the delay is chiefly to allow the receipt of manual observations, received in the post). The official Melbourne site (86071) came in with a figure 0f 70.6mm for the month, very close to average, depending on whether you use the ~150 year or 30 year normal period. On Lindsay's remarks about AWSs... this is a very real problem for rainfall. Even if these function correctly (say) 95% of the time (pretty good for a complicated set of instruments, often left for months without a service), one would expect at least one days rain observations to be missed in an average month. This is not a problem for temperature etc. for which you average, but for rainfall one takes the sum and so the introduction of an AWS to replace a human may results in a decrease in rainfall at a site by ~5%, amounting to 25-50mm over a year. The potential seriousness of this problem is highlighted by the AWS observation for October (2001) from both Dunns Hill and Scoresby which had their wettest October on record, but both missed a rain observation on the 5th - about 5mm at Scoresby and 11mm at Dunns Hill. BTW Lindsay, my suspicions are that the "powers that be" will say "thanks but no thanks" to your offer. Rather than trying to slot in "better" data for the Geelong observation, the totals will be flagged in the data base as suspect/incorrect. Currently, there are no audit systems in place to allow replacement data to be used to patch incomplete records. There is a number of projects currently underway to improve this situation... one called Rain-QC (quality control) envisages a human operated computer guidance system which will flag all suspicious rainfall totals and estimate corrected values based on nearby rain records... this will essentially do what you are proposing. Unfortunately, this is still some time off being implemented... such a system may seem "trivial" but with huge relational data bases even a simple change is not simple!

Why? VIS from 2:32 UTC (1:32pm) shows a broken line of impressive storms, with the best individual cells NE of Hay (3 cells) and SE of CBT (1 cell). GPATS at 15:15 EDT confirms these locations with good lightning rates. This morning's soundings from SWG, CBT and BCV all show a very nice 150+ mb of decent moisture (= 8 g/kg). Ahead of the trough we have the lifting component taken care off, and insolation is quite good ahead of the forming line. Using this morning's CBT sounding and the 0300 UTC surface flow, the 0-6 km shear values across C NSW should be around 30 kts with a disorganised wind field throughout the column. It would be nice to have a special 6 Z CBT sounding to check on the mid-level cooling and the flow. Hank, Jonti (or others), can Regional Offices request special soundings if the atmosphere looks suffciently appetising? Radar doesn't see any of the storms as they run riot in no-mans land. I am guessing that some of these storms might rotate - if I'd live in C NSW, I'd take a look.

Michael,
 
A Uniden 510XL is the base model with 7 watt transmission power which gives it a range of 5 - 15kms which works well for intercar communications (and occasionally 65kms + under the right conditions). $150 will set you up with a 5' antenna - which works well (I had mine tuned - it receives better than it sends) - and this setup is really all that you need without going technologically crazy. Easy to fit!!

Hi list,

I have been looking around for the past few evenings on the net, trying to find average rainfall figures for the Wollongong University AWS site. I'd like to get these down to a monthly level so I can begin to compare rainfall amounts given I live about 2kms closer to the sea (about halfway from escarpment to the sea) from this station. If someone could point me in the right direction, or else give me the monthly averages that would be great. BoM guys??

Anyway, hoping for a good day of storms today. Hopefully I'll get some rain to christen my rainguage and we could do with a little more rain anyway. There is certainly plenty of lower level humidity this morning, with a good haze in the Illawarra. Something akin to the storms that formed from SW Qld down through central NSW wouldn't go astray. They looked absolutely spectacular on the satpic at around 7pm last night. I assume the high level winds weren't all that strong given there seemed to be several near circular storm tops near the Qld border, rather than the usual anvil streaks.

Cheers
Andrew Godsman

I think it was either a tropical storm (and under-estimated) prior to development or not a hurricane at all (being over-estimated). Tricky as I don't think this one had tropical origins. Interesting to see the disintegration of Michelle (very rapid). Still lots of hurricanes in the Atlantic this year. Will we get another ?

HI all.
 
Well what a night it was in NSW..  I have only just arrived home from work, its 11.44pm.. I have been there since 9am this morning.  I knew there were storms forecast for today, so before leaving for work, had modem and pc unplgged from wall, wasnt that a wise idea.. Bx had a massive storm come through around 8pm. It all really was firing out west earlier in day, from 12pm.. Had 2 lightning trackers, radar, then of course GPATS from work to look at live tracker.  All day the phones were really quiet as it was Melbourne Cup day.  We had a nice lunch, chicken and salad, brilliant.. It wasnt until after the Melb Cup was run that we noticed the storms picking up, 4pm I logged into emerg no for work and helped in dispatching, slowly one by one we had outages all out west, Cobar was first, followed by many towns, Trundle, Condobolin , Lake Carg, Parkes, Forbes, it was moving east, slowly but eventually. 
 
The calls were coming in fast and by 6pm we needed more staff. 8 more staff were called to handle the constant flow of calls. Many more towns reporting trees down, lines down, sheds, fridges, you name it.. The way this storm was moving, like NE, i had this feeling we were going to cop it, no Storms warnings were issued for Central Tablelands, but i can tell you it hit.. The first sign of us getting storm was when Yeoval was hit, then Orange, Borenore, Blayney, Lucknow all around Orange, the radar proved it, so did lightning tracker. Then as others were arriving at work, said you could see hitting bx. Outskirts of Oberon, Burraga, Isabella, all calling with lightning strikes, I could hear the scary crack of static over phone as customers called in. 
 
At one stage there were 35 towns listed on our message system with faults, each fault were quite individual, no time limit when power would  be restored.  By the time it reached the otherside of Bathurst, we had lightning flashing around outside the control room and call centre for Country Energy. It was an amazing site.  Bathurst had 20 mm of rain in the small outburst, 8-9pm 11.4 mm, 17mm upto 10pm, a total of 20.8 to 11pm.
 
Rain received in towns below upto 11pm.
 
Young 49.6 mm
Condobolin 46.6 mm
Dubbo Airport 43.4mm
Thredbo 35.8 mm
Orange 28.4 mm
Goulburn 28.8mm
Canberra Airport 20.2 mm.
Bathurst 20.8 mm
 
After all the storms in Bathurst area, seemed to quieten down and we had tea break, we talked too soon.  Started getting some more calls for Orange areas with more reported lightning strikes. Coonabarabran, Mudgee, Nyngan, Warren, all having their turns again. At this stage some 900 odd calls had come through the call centre emerg no. Slowly some other towns were coming back on, but many will  be off until early hours of this morning and midday tomorrow since transformers blew up, and poles damaged.  Finally was able to leave after calling back many customers to ensure supply was back. 
 
All in all, when is the next storm.. Bring it on again !!!
 
Dave

Hi all, it has been a very good last 2 days for storm action in NSW, and now a third, :)  :)
Lightning tracker has been active all night with storms shifting north, so for all you in SE QLD/NE NSW you could be in for some action later today As the trough continues east.
 
The SE of the state could also have more action today with the trough clearing and still a bit of moisture around, how ever it depends on the cloud cover, even if there is cloud cover T'storms could develop but if it clears we could see simalar sittuation to the 2/10 when severe storms fired up in the riverina after the through cleared.
 
Canberra forecast still has a chance of late showers/storms, i will updat through the day, but i have to work from 8am to 12midday and then i might get some sleep as i haven't 'slept' since waking up yesterday morning at 11:30, i have doozed off for an hour though.

For once it is a person's Christian name rather than a fruit, vegetable or animal. I know several girls named LingLing. It is a very common girl's name here. To translate the Chinese directly into English it actually means "very pretty". I am flying into Manila tomorrow so expect to be under its northern cloudbands and to have plenty of rain but probably not much wind at that distance from the centre. The Philippines of course already have their storm signals hoisted. I have a bunch of links on my page at http://www.drdisk.com.hk/cyclones.htm for anyone who might be interested in following this system. There is speculation that it may intensify quickly once it clears the Philippines and gets out over the South China Sea. Unless something unforeseen happens, it won't affect Hong Kong at all. I expect it will head for the Southern part of Vietnam. If it stays far enough South it may even cross into the Indian Ocean (Bay of Bengal).

I'm also experiencing the same problem Don.  I haven't had very much luck at all on the list.  Thought I would give it another try to see if things have improved.
I'm with Ozemail as well so it may be that the problem is with that particular ISP, however, I find the service absolutely excellent so it will really surprise me if it is the fault of Ozemail.

Hi all..
sorry for this but some e-mails I have recently sent to this list have
appeared days late despite all other e-mail I send arriving as they
should.
I am sending this at 5.33 pm DST on 29 October... Interest when it first
appears.

Thanks

PS the RH in Sydney of 13% at 3 pm was as low as I can remember  or am I
getting a short memory. Any comments??

(Although please feel free to offer a different opinion if you like!) This was videod from Grandchester, looking SW - it's about 5km away from our farm! All up it lasted a couple of minutes, it's clearly identifiable by the dust underneath. It looks as if there's one main funnel, with some "scuddy funnelly stuff" (excuse technical jargon!) wrapping around, extending a multi-vortex down to the surface. Also note another possible funnel forming to the right. This descended from a nice rounded/curved lowering - but became absorbed into the rest of the storm, 'exposing' the funnel.

Well I headed out to Condobolin. Was interesting to note that it became quite dry around Parkes - dew point about 9 in comparison to 14 or so earlier. But things began to change as the winds picked up from the source area with more moisture - towards the north. I also noted a significant change in comfort as I head to Condobolin - nearer the trough. Storms fired quite quickly in the area but as expected from the dynamics, there was insuffficient inflow winds. The rear flank downraughts were excellent and if there was some interaction from other storms, it could have made the base interesting for possible rotation. But the storms were forward flank driven - excellent wet microburst conditions. I have only some footage of the early stuff before it became cluttered - lack of a cap. As to lightning, there was lightning, but nothing really overwhelmingly spectacular. I think what you find is that the strikes were over a large region and storms were not fast moving so the density was higher. I await reports from Nick Sykes who was out there as he may have been at Condobolin after I left. I remained ahead of the first main storm and ended up at Parkes. Overall, to me a disappointing chase but with potential. Always seem to be some ingredient missing.

Oh how things have changed.  Gone are the days where people would chase and be happy with a good forecast, a nice storm and pleasant company.  It all seems to be changing to the way of the US where it is all tornado, tornado, tornado.  If you don't see one you've failed and if you do you are a king.  Personally, I do not have this fast spreading disease of the chaser and I hope I can avoid it in the future.  I love nothing more than heading off of a morning to an area I have forecast to have storms, and then watching as the area does or doesn't produce storms.  I enjoy the time I spend out in the countryside and the company (if any), as well as mother nature.  This doesn't mean I have to see severe storms everytime I chase.  I'm happy with a nice photogenic Cb or even a nice sunset at the end of a stormless chase.  Severe storms are nothing more than a bonus for me and yes, they are fantastic but they are not the end of it all.  The way some people have been posting reports in the last few months they make it sound like they went chasing and saw nothing but clear blue sky, when the case really was that they have been chasing, seen some fantastic storms and spent a day out with some great friends with whom they were able to share some fantastic weather moments with.  The day I chase and am not happy unless i have seen a tornado, somebody shoot me please because I don't want to be like that. As the late Roger Jensen, a well-known vetran US chaser once said when asked what he thought of the storm chasing mania which has takes over the US plains each spring, "I hope they are out chasing for the same reasons we are out chasing," and I too hope that we are all out chasing for the same reasons.
 
Bring on TDU where we can forget the world and do nothing but chase and have a great time - storms or no storms.

Chase Tuesday Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi Andrew, Sorry - I will try posting again. I was starting to get excited when storms developed just west of Condobolin. Nice rear flank downdraught, forward flank downburst, reasonable contrast base, some nice lightning bolts though occasional. This lasted the best part of an hour or two. Then it all got clouded in - lack of a cap. Sure the lightning did continue amongst the rain and random... There was also This was the so-called missing ingredient and so was the lack of inflow :((((( To me, this is a fizzer. I suppose with the amount of strikes recorded per hour, one would have expected in their mind a different picture. And this is my point. The picture of what you anticipate is part of your chasing - well part of my chasing. Sometimes the picture is better than you observe which is what happened on this day and why I felt gloomy. Let's put it this way, I didn't have to worry about conserving battery power :)))) Oh are the video footage and photographs what chasing is all about? To me, they are a visual record of what happened on the chase - some look at it as proof. How does that sound Macca - a have tried to be more positive... As to Nick, great stuff. I contacted you to meet up but Condobilin was out of service area and I was in Parkes. Nick or anyone save me a little time and supply direct links to this system? Thanks. And Anthony, congrats on the multi-vortex!!!! Great to see a chaser in the right place at the right time.

Cells took off after 2-2.30pm, and I sat and watched as a line of very nice storms developed to my N and drifted S. Some of the updraughts of these cells were fantastic. As the stroms approached lightning became frequent (not as fequent as the SA New Year). Got some very nice CG's and loud thunder. Thinks started to get interesting when one of the updraughts showed signs of rotation and there were some lowerings, one getting close to the ground. There was also some nice greenage in this storm and it looked like hail. Anyway I will write up a more detailed report once the cable is done.

Hi Andrew and all chasers.
I even like the driving to a location, and the anticipation of what may be!, and meeting up with everybody and the excited talk of what has been. I best of all like the humour that can be stitched into  a story and only weather people can understand, but just to see the first rising CJ that flairs forward and glaciates...now this is so good and too wait for the unexpected,I love the analysis in the morning and playing a chess game with potential,its all pure clean fun, I cant wait to head up the highway in a few weeks and escape to the reality of fantasy that really exists!...and a tornado.. well its a matter of time and all of us will see one, one day.regards Clyve Herbert.

Hi all!
        Macca, you have hit the nail on the head! I am not a great contributer to this list, but I too take pics - and pleasure -  of things like a single congestus cloud lit by the setting sun, whether from home or miles from anywhere:-)) I ashamedly have succombed to the fear of being labelled a hippy or a greeny, and have not voiced my wonder at the beauty of it:-((
My few cents worth:-))
Cheers Peter

It now looks like the SE "could" experience a very significant out of season cold-outbreak, with thickness values over the Vic/Tas/SE SA/NSW progged by all models to approach 530 or even lower Saturday evening into Sunday. With the temperatures in Bass Strait and Port Phillip/Western Port Bay now well inexcess of their winter minimum, such very cold air would support very vigourous cold air showers, thunderstorms and hail for Victoria, while snow levels should be significantly below the 1000m level in Tasmania and Victoria (and in the more extreme scenarios (GASP, US, and EC)should approach 500m. The biggest question mark on this system seems to be whether the cold pool will track NE (near central Victoria) or further west (near Mt Gambier). Anyway happy weather watching.

A line of showers and weak thunderstorms is stretching from NNW of Lilydale to W of Seymour. The Seymour ``cluster'' is of reasonable size and has reflectivities exceeding ~50 dBZ (pink) on the 0.3 deg. 01:00 UTC scan out of Laverton. Ooops, back to 'yellow' at 01:20 (S of Seymour) with the cell N of Lilydale up to 'pink' - the nature of pulsing. I suspect that the line of storms is forced by surface convergence along a weak SW change that might have undercut those storms as per the 00:30 UTC VIC surface obs (the change seems to be ahead of the storms). That means the storms are elevated which will strongly limit their potential intensification. If you are reading this email from near one of those storms (and outside any outflow regions) and if you are experiencing W or SW flow, you might consider moving E or NE. One possible scenario is that the undercut storms die while new ones form (way) ahead to the E/NE seemingly making the storm jump eastward.

The morning soundings had a decent shear profile suggesting the convection has been/ might still be severe. The flash rate is certainly not to be sneezed at. Given the storms are no longer isolated any large hail/tornado potential that might have been there would have dimished somewhat by now (diminshed .ne. 0). But, these storms can certainly water your garden ... Moisture ahead of the MCS/squall line looks good, so the show should go on for a while. Harald PS: VIC -- the change has pretty much pushed through the state which might explain the disappearance of the storms N of MML earlier. Extreme E VIC and SE NSW have some lightning left to enjoy, but those storms are not exactly breathtakers. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Harald Richter BMRC PO Box 1289K Melbourne VIC 3001 Australia ph: +61 3 9669 4501 fax: +61 3 9669 4660 email: h.richter at bom.gov.au url: http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/wefor/wfstaff/hrichter.htm --------------------------------------------------------------- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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: "Simon Angell" To: "Aussie weather" Subject: aus-wx: Canberra Guster 6-11-01 Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2001 19:39:31 +1100 Organization: SIMONS Thunder Down Under 2001 (www.geocities.com/simons_tdu2001) X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 09 Nov 2001 08:41:37.0025 (UTC) FILETIME=[57FAC710:01C168FA] Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com hi all I have 1 photo af the canberra guster 6/11/01 and more to come later tonight.

Extremely interesting and extremely correct (not that i'd expect otherwise). I chased today after being alerted to the potential of this system last night by Nick Sykes and again this morning by Clyve Herbert. Some very nice, crisp updrafts took off this morning to the N and W of Melbourne and I couldn't resist (I also wanted to get in a warm up chase for the upcoming TDU). I was out the door within 20 minutes (i left home at about 10:45am). A cell pulsed into the pink near Seymour whilst I was getting ready but I managed to restrain myself from heading for that cell. Taking the Western Ring Road to the Hume Hwy I picked up petrol for 74.9c/L (!!!! - cheapest in over 12 mths here) before stopping at a rest stop near Wallan for a piccy or two of the solid updrafts. The AM radio was now picking up infrequent static and over the next 10 mins it increased to one burst every 10 seconds. I had no idea where it was coming from as there was too much Cu around. Eventually I spotted the culprit - a nice Cb over the Lancefield area (NNE of Melb). I kept heading up the Hume Hwy with the base in view (which had been looking somewhat turbulent and suspicious) and a dark rain area. A few CC's ripped across the rain curtain as I drew along side it and the base was producing some interesting scud action. I was now between Kilmore and Broadford - some of the worst storm viewing parts of the entire Hume Hwy so I was only getting brief glimpses of the cell. In one of my brief glimpses I spied what looked like a smallish funnel extending about 1/4 of the way down (smallish as in length - it wasn't needle narrow but it wasn't fat by and standards either). Due to the brief glimpse I didn't want to make a confirmation until I had a better view. Two more brief glimpses still had me unsure but the third time I saw it I was far more interested. It had grown slightly longer and there was a secondary segment which, although wasn't attached to the main funnel, seemed like an extension of the funnel. This made it 1/2 way (if not more) to the ground. I skidded to a halt in the Emergency Stormchasing Lane and then had to do some creative parking in order to get another view. By the time I had done this the part of the funnel attached to the cloud base was gone but the lower part remained for a few seconds longer (i managed to get that on video at least). I'm still not sure if it was a funnel as no rotation was observed but it looked quite convincing. Soon after this the precipitation area intensified and was reportedly red on radar. I headed closer to the cell towards Broadford but it weakened considerably after this. I headed north to get out of the rain and ended up in Nagambie (20km N of Seymour) and watched a few more Cu produce weak showers. At this point I was ready to call it a day but Nick Sykes rang and said he was sitting under a nice updraft near Yea and that more stuff was developing (note the "jump" east of the cells as mentioned by Harald). I raced ENE to Euroa and then SSE to Merton to intercept these new Cb's and managed to finally catch up to one cell just on the outskirts of Mansfield. A quite solid updraft base crusied over Mansfield without dropping much rain but inflow into it was quite strong - up to 20knts at times. I managed to follow this cell by heading NE to Barwite and things just started to get more interesting with nice scuddy lowerings but the trees and mountains arrived and dictated the chase. I attempted to follow it but lost the cell in the ranges. I knew it was over so I just sat back and enjoyed the awesome, mountainous scenery between Barwite and Tolmie (which, incidently, is likely to be covered in snow by Sunday arvo) and the fantastic winding road. I wasn't too sure of where I was going but saw a sign for Benalla so I headed off down a winding dirt road which proved to be 15km of sliding fun. Once clear of Wrightley I was able to see back E to the ranges where cells had again "jumped" ahead but were still very solid in terms of updrafts. Back on the wrong side of the trough, I was able to enjoy the magnificent sunshine and occasional glimps of the Cb's to the E whilst driving home. Overall a great way to not study for my upcoming exam and a good warm-up chase for TDU. 600km and a few nice photos and some short video sequences later and I am home. Thanks to Matt Smith (who luckily got to hear a clap of thunder whilst on the phone ), Nick Sykes, Clyve Herbert, Anthony Cornelius and Jane O'Neill for the updates and encouragement throughout the day and also to my uni friends for hanging crap on me for chasing instead of studying (although they were sitting at home watching the cricket yet still hanging it on me......hehe). Harald's description was so true for what was happening in the field today. Outflow from the cells killed anything trying to go up and anything W of the trough was never going to make it. Was great to read his email and I hope my report and observations somewhat verify his email.

Scored a storm around 4pm near Wallaga Lake, lightning wise quite tame, but torrential rain and some small hail. Left home at around midday. The cumulus around the Illawarra was already flattening into rather dry looking clumps that you normally associate with desert scenes. Past Nowra and things were still looking grim. Ulladulla and at last a brief glimpse from the top of the hill at Milton to the far south revealed some weak convection. This looked very like the line of the SE wind change. Winds at Ulladulla were strong NE. It was Moruya before I came nearer the action. Here there was still a humid NE wind, with low cloud with bases around 700m was streaming in from the NE ( yes NE ). A weak Cb could be seen further South, but I lost sight of this after Moruya as I past into total overcast. Not exactly what I expected. At Narooma and it was quite dull, winds here were swinging East. Again the total overcast made chasing difficult. I put on the AM radio and immediately heard a spark, close too. However, it was lucky timing and the sparks were at least 2 mins apart, hardly active. I could see rain further south so I headed for Bermagui. Here the SE wind had established and was around 30 knots. Rain was steady. I decided that this would be as far south as I would venture. I sat at the Bermagui headland for about 30 mins, it was very cold and raining on and off. The sparks on the AM started increasing in frequency. I had no idea where the storm was. It was very dull with a 700m cloud base that covered the top half of Mt Dromedary. A patch of sky to the NW become rather light and the sun was straining to poke through. On a hunch that this may close to the rear outflow of a storm I headed back towards Narooma. I was right, just up the road at Wallaga Lake the rain became very heavy. At the causeway I watched as a whiteout of rain and small hail made its way across the lake. This lasted about 10 mins with torrential rain before rapidly moving SE. I headed home. At Tuross Heads I had some dinner and heard a couple of rumbles. Again activity was very sparse. Some more rain near Moruya, and a nice sunset cumulus near Batemans Bay ended the day. By Nowra I was ahead of the SE wind again. I had hoped that the activity would ride the SE change up the coast, but it was firmly anchored on the far south coast. In fact no action occurred ahead of the SE wind, it was all well behind it. A report with pictures will follow shortly.

(a local BoM forecasting person was seen playing amidst the snowflakes also - insider information? ) The second series of images are from Mt Dandenong in the eastern suburbs, watching Cjs move up the Bay & glaciate (I have no idea why you get such strange looks at the lookout when you have a video, a digital camera, an SLR & a mobile phone - and are using all 4 continuously for 2 hours.........) - a little sleet at one stage & some small hail - and the temptation was just too great - I went a explored the hail & heavy rain & flash flooding at ground level in the Scoresby area.

Nice to have a chart for the time of the event. It passes over fairly quickly but about 5 mins past 6, ie, just after I sent the e-mail, then the cc's got close and frequent. Flash to bang between 1 and 3 seconds, so got nervous and pulled the plugs. I went down the street to the park and had a look though (staying away from trees). The rain got heavy for about 10 minutes and I had to duck under the eve of the toilet block, the wind went from 27005 to calm to 15005 with a few gusts 10 but nothing significant. The cloud line was fairly well formed almost NS at the lower level with base about 1500 and very dark. It looked like it might fire but nothing happened. There was very little motion evident on the leading edge so no inflow to speak of. A bit to the north, over the Campsie to Burwood area it looked a bit heavier with rain curtain visible intermittently. Overall, a bit of a fizzer.

Wrap around bands coming onto the coast of Vic (Bellarine Peninsula & SW coast) could drop some more significant totals today. The low actually appears to be moving slowly west along the coast. Melbourne has large Cjs about again this morning. Very photogenic & should make for another interesting day. PS: I added images from Andrew McDonald (Macca) & Ross Buscall (Bussie) to yesterday's images. There's what appears to be in interesting rotation almost overhead in one of Macca's shots............

Worth noting also in that particular forecast, which I believe was a great overview
 
"Fine and mild today with a mix of sun and cloud"
 
I feel the "sun and cloud" term makes the whole scenario "come alive".
I would be very interested to hear other opinions.

After dipping to 3C on Sunday morning with 19mm of rain (Ferny Creek) I decided to do a dash to Lake Mt. Leaving home in light rain and 4C, a V-heavy rain shower from the south caught us at the Ferny Creek general store (~450m) and promptly turned to heavy sleet, with ~10cm size slushy clumps. The sleet continued all the way along the ridge line as we drove north and turned to mostly snow when we detoured to the Mt Dandy summit (~600m)... My first ever snow in the Dandenongs.. and November of all months! Anyway back into the car, the sleet turned to all rain at about 400m... which continued to about Coldstream. On arriving in Marysville (~350m) it was a glorious morning with mostly sunshine, but an amazingly cold 7C on the Subaru thermometer at ~11am in middle November. Anyway, after stocking up with lunch at the Bakery, headed up the road to Lake Mt. We ran into our first snow flakes at about 900m, and arriving at the top the ground was mostly covered in between 5 and 15cm... but just not quite enough for a ski (had the X-country gear in the boot!). Anyway, had lunch and went for a couple of hour walk, in mostly light snow. Just before we got back to the car, the snow set in very heavy and within ~10minutes our car was covered in about 2cm of white. Driving down, the snow continued to about 900m and sleet down to about 500m. BTW those with radar should take a lookie at the Melbourne loop ATM. There is extraordinary cyclonic curvature in the flow, with showers moving NW then N then NE as they travel up through the suburbs of Melbourne. The set-up is ideal for heavy falls in the inner eastern suburbs and in the ranges to the NW of the city.

Tops couldn't have been more that about 3000m, with a high base too! It certainly felt cold. Suprising because most of the action form this change passed well to the south - we only had 1mm at St Peters, although parts of the hills got more. Almost 2 weeks into November, and I'd say Adelaide is sitting on a substantial negative temp anomaly for the month - again! [of course, could all change in the next few weeks, but certainly not this week] So I guess that brings to an end our winter-spring season here. A frustrating one. Lots of rain, but winter proper was almost devoid of good frontal/storm/hail action, with most of the rain coming from fat NW cloudbands. Spring has been better, with one great frontal passage and some nice cold Cb action, but now I'm more than ready for a 38 degree day, high DPs, a trough to the east, and congestus by 11am over the Mt Loftys. Please sir, can I have some more?

I had no idea we were going to get anything. Michael Bath and I went out for most of the afternoon. Saw numerous nice cells, but nothing locally until coming out of Casino back to lismore. A very small, but long lasting cell developed. We chased this to a lookout in Alstonville that overlooks Ballina and the ocean. While there action began happening to our NNE. We headed back to MB's house at McLeans Ridges and what a sight!! A beautifully structured supercell (it had to be due to it's rotating structure). After watching for a little while I decided to head to a lookout area just E of Alstonville where the plateau begins to drop off to be able to view the base of the structure we were watching as it has the most awesome structure as seen in the photos. I ducked home to pick my dad up to take him out for a look and then we went up to the lookout. What a site. A wall cloud with bandings up the side. Anyway, we were there for about 10mins when I noticed scuds forming. I grabbed the binoculars off dad (who was keeping an eye out for any funnels) and watched as the scud began to suddenly appear forming the shape of a funnel that then quickly descended down to the ocean. This cell was a long way away but we could certainly make out the funnel easily through the binoculars. I told dad to keep an eye on it as I tried getting a photo. My digi has much better zoom than the SLR I took out but I had to use the digital zoom to be able to pick up the funnel. This has greatly reduced the picture quality and the lighting but it can still JUST be made out. The cell was a fair way off the coast. Hopefully the image can be enhanced. It was hard to pick up rotation from that distance but it certainly looked for real. There was certainly roataion in the wall cloud. About 1-2mins after phoning MB to let him know, the funnel quickly disappeared. After this the cell rapidly collapsed, also noted looking at radar later. This cell had split from another and was heading in a SE direction. Anyway, I'm no expert but both my dad and I saw a large funnel shaped cloud touch the ocean. I'll let the experts decide this one! Photos are up here on the bottom of this page: http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/dave04.htm and http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/dave05.htm and http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/dave06.htm 85 photos are up but I reccomend the last photos on page 5 and page 6 as they show the supercell. The tornado photos are: http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/photos/2001/1111de81.jpg and the tornado is on the left of the photo extending down in a left direction from where it's attched on the base. You will have to squint but it's there. Also http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/photos/2001/1111de82.jpg The tornado is on the very right of the photo. Hopefully some better enhanced shots can come soon. All thoughts would be appreciated!!!!!!!!

A tornado was observed between 16:48 and 16:50 (local) approximately 25km out to sea east of Cape Byron. The parent supercell was part of a system that formed S of Beaudesert at around 14:30 tracking SE then splitting over the Tweed Coast between 15:50 and 16:00. The right mover was the stronger of the pair and had a slightly more southerly track to the right mover. I believe the storm was enhanced by a localised S-SE wind along the coast south of the storm. All the photos are taken facing ENE looking into the SW flank of the supercell. http://australiasevereweather.com/storm_news/2001/photos/1111de77.jpg 16:46 Rotating updraft, wall cloud with inflow bands on southern (right) side of cell and corkscrew feature on the left.

The airport is 7km south of, and 140m higher than, the town; my recollection of the local topography is that that would put it on a ridge, but I'm not 100% sure of this (anyone more familiar with the area?). In the ~4 months that both sites have been open, the minimum temperatures at the airport have averaged 5.4 degrees higher than those in the town. The difference is typically near zero on cloudy and/or windy nights, but many of the colder nights (presumably the clear/calm ones) see differences in the 8-10 degree range, with a peak of 11.8. Maximum temperatures are much more stable; the airport averages 1.0 degrees cooler (about what would be expected for the difference in elevation) and all days so far have differences in the range -0.1 to +2.0 degrees. This all goes to show what an impact local topography and cold-air drainage can have on local minimum temperatures. A similar situation exists at Inverell (between the PO and Soil Conservation sites) - which formed the basis for a paper I wrote (and a chapter of my thesis) - but the differences observed there were only about half of what we've seen so far at Coonabarabran.

Summary Damage track ~2km long, 50m wide, SSW - NNE, approx 500m from Port Phillip Bay. Walls knocked down, glass & seating thrown a couple of hundred metres. Good directional shear in the lower layers, upper winds increased to 30knots & possible low level trough went through the area as the Fawkner Beacon recorded wind shifting from SW to NW & back to SW at the time. 60dBz at ~1-2km with tops ~4km. Rating: F0 - weak F1 Laster 5 - 10 minutes Residents heard a loud wooshing sound, went out & saw a spinning funnel against the darker clouds. House next to a house damaged has an AWS - they are waiting on the reading from this. PS: keep your ears peeled for further reports of a f\possible tornado yesterday morning in Port Melbourne being investigated atm.

For my book, I think we should only include those captured on film or digitally by by(otherwise W.A. might romp it in!!!!). But as far as said supercell structure goes, if we are looking ENE at a cell moving SSE, is not the whole thing back to front? Should not the precip curtain appear on the right rather than the left of the wall cloud area?? Or is this a special structure associated with 'right movement'? I actually noticed on radar that a lot of cells that developed ahead of the main NW-SE line moved quite strongly southward in towards the line.

I guess most video is digital rather than film these days anyway. Yes you would expect the wall cloud to be on the SW flank in this setup, very similar to the LP supercell that moved ESE ahead of the Casino HP supercell - eg: http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/photos/2001/0117mb14.jpg which also shows the nice features on the SW flank and rain off to the NE.

I haven't got any data on this storm other than my photos and what I saw. Once the report Michael and I are doing is up it should give it a bit more of an anaylsis. For now here is my full account of what happened after I left MB's place. It's been difficult to recall events logically as it happened so fast, but I think this covers it all in order: What an awesome sight!! This supercell looked like it would have to have something attached to its base! I said to Michael that I thought it would be best if I headed to a lookout where the base would be visible. So I went off to catch a tornado (not really thinking there would be one at the time). I raced home to grab my dad who had been keen to go on a chase for sometime. He had been unaware of the storm and when I told him to look out the window he was pretty impressed! He grabbed the keys off me and said he was driving. So I grabbed the binoculars and we were on our way. It was about a 10min drive to the lookout from my place. The storm was off the coast of Cape Byron and was heading in a SE direction. It turned out later it was the right mover of a split supercell. Once there I couldn't believe the structure of this thing. It looked like something out of a book! So I pulled out the Kodak DC4800 (who was on his first storm chase) and started madly taking photos! By this time the contrast of the storm against the rest of the sky was low. I handed dad the binoculars and told him to watch the base closely for anything. After a few more photos I thought I could see something. But just barely. I got the binoculars off dad and could see scud forming under the wall cloud. This was at 4.46pm. I watched it develop quickly into a very thin line barely visible through binoculars. I spent the next 20 secs trying to get a photo of this structure but couldn't as it was too far away. I jumped into the car to check the photos I'd just taken on the LCD (the screen was too dull to view in the outside light). Whilst doing this dad said he could see something. I quickly turned around to watch scuds quickly from into a funnel. It didn't descend so much from the base. It just appeared, appearing to touch the ocean very quickly. I tried taking photos with the cameras telephoto lens on, and with digital zoom (all up 12x zoom). This was at 4.48pm. Then I rang Michael to let him know. He was watching the storm from his place but couldn't see the base or the funnel. Once letting him know I took a pic at 4.49pm and another at 4.50pm and then it disappeared, as quickly as it formed. We watched scuds form near the ocean for about 10mins after the tornado collapsed. From then the supercell collapsed both visually and on radar. So we headed back, both VERY excited, to our home in Wollongbar. I ran inside and told mum I had seen a tornado and her reply was 'oh, that's good'. After explaining to her what this meant she seemed a little more enthusiastic. Oh well. Dad scored alright for his first chase. Finally, the start of the season here in NE NSW!!

Are there any Ozzie firefighters on the list? We've got a request on uk.sci.weather for an Australian fireman seeking similar.

I've been asked by a Fire-fighter in Australia if I know of any workers
in the subject area with whom I can put him in touch. I don't - it's not
a factor of life here in the UK ... but I know it's of more relevance to
places like the US, southern France, Greece, southern Africa etc (as
well of course as Australia).

Can anyone suggest appropriate persons, sites, papers etc. I can relay
information as required.

On nearing Victoria, the sharp thickness trough substantially cut-off in association with the cyclogenesis which occurred near Bass Strait, and the coldest air eventually becoming "more or less" stagnant over Victoria, or more particularly showed a slow cyclonic rotation over the state...... for example the coldest air on Saturday night sat near Portland, on Sunday night northeast of Melbourne and Monday night directly over Melbourne. Going by the weekends news reports and rainfall figures, Victoria, and particularly southern Victoria between Cape Otway and Wilson Promontory saw the best of the action. RE this weekend... Still not sure what to make of this. It seems that the eventual outcome is totally dependent on whether the low currently developing over Western Australia is successfully captured in the westerlies by the cold front currently developing south of WA (the UK scenario) giving another strong cold blast in the SE (very similar to last weekends), and strong cyclogenesis near Bass Strait. This scenario looks as "interesting" in terms of snow/hail/thunder as last weekends, but most likely wetter as there is substantial moisture available to this system. The alternative scenario favoured by NOGAPS is for a failed capture, and a rather an anticyclonic change for the SE Australia. Yesterdays ECMWF sat between the two, while GASP is tending towards a significant system... I guess only time will tell. One thing to watch will be the possibility of heavy rain, as the catchments in southern Victoria are now saturated, and any significant rain could result in flooding (and on a positive note good inflows into Melbourne's dams).

Looking at the charts it does look as though there could be a fair bit of moisture accompanying this front.  That is, ofcourse, if indeed it does come off.  i would probably suggest sunday as the best bet.  As I say it is still a fair way off and there are a few if's but it could be a significant cold event (again) for us Islanders.  I'm at Collins Cap on the western boundary of Wellington Park.

On Saturday into Sunday we are looking at Southerly winds originating

this air stream be too dry to produce snow?

Here's a few more:

There are many organizations in the US with information on fire
meteorology on the net.

Just a sample.

http://www.ispe.arizona.edu/climas/fire/links.html#meteoro
http://forestry.about.com/cs/forestmeteorology/

 From Australia, it would probably be easiest to try to contact people
responsible for or mentioned by these sites by email.  He might also try
Monash University in Melbourne.  The person I know there is Graeme Ross
 (though I think he is retired now).

There are many organizations in the US with information on fire
meteorology on the net.

Just a sample.

http://www.nifc.gov
http://www.montana.com/ifsl/
http://www.ispe.arizona.edu/climas/fire/links.html#meteoro
http://forestry.about.com/cs/forestmeteorology/
http://www.cira.colostate.edu/smoke/webdoc.html

 From Australia, it would probably be easiest to try to contact people
responsible for or mentioned by these sites by email.  He might also try
Monash University in Melbourne.  The person I know there is Graeme Ross
 (though I think he is retired now).

Everyone,
 
Are there any Ozzie firefighters on the list? We've got a request on uk.sci.weather for an Australian fireman seeking similar.
 
*snip*
I've been asked by a Fire-fighter in Australia if I know of any workers
in the subject area with whom I can put him in touch. I don't - it's not
a factor of life here in the UK ... but I know it's of more relevance to
places like the US, southern France, Greece, southern Africa etc (as
well of course as Australia).

Can anyone suggest appropriate persons, sites, papers etc. I can relay
information as required.

Organization: Fidonet: Freeway Usenet <=> FTN gateway To: aussie-weather at world.std.com X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Guys, I found this on another list. I can see potential for storm chasing... A little background: APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System) is a data mode which allows people to track objects on a computer based map. Mobile stations can be equipped with a GPS, pacet radio TNC and a VHF radio and periodically relay their position to the APRS network, where the information will then be displayed on the screens of monitoring stations. The message below describes a system for using the BoM weather radar images as the maps for the APRS display, which will allow thew positions of all stations (e.g. chasers' cars) to be plotted on top of the radar image itself. Wonder if this can be of use. Issues: The monitoring station is no problem, it is possible to passively receive APRS data off air or via the Internet, so no licence is needed to operate a mapping display. The mobile "trackers" do transmit short bursts periodically. I would have to check the legality of an amateur setting up the tracker, then sealing it and leaving it in the chaser's car as an unattended station (I have heard conflicting opinions). Alternatively, those who want to try can get their ticket or convince a ham friend to come along for the chase (hmm, that might be a good excuse for me to go out one day ;) ).

The program places the WX Radar images in a nominated sub-directory, which can be your UI-View Maps directory. If you have a .inf map referance file of the same name as the image in the directory, UI-View will load the WX Radar Image as a UI-View Map and display it. Here is Johns anouncment..... ---------------------------------------------------------- Hi All I have created a new APRS related program which I call AWXRADAR. AWXRADAR stands for Australia Weather Radar. As such this program is of interest to Australian Amateurs only. What does this program do? It automatically downloads Radar Images from the Australian Weather Service Web Page to the users hard drive. The program is able to download the 128km and 256km radar images. Which radar image that is downloaded is user configurable. The use of this program is to be able to overlay the radar images on to your APRS programs Map display. Those in Australia who think that this program may be of use to them please go to http://www.qsl.net/kb2scs Thank you for your time in reading this.

The low east of Thursday island (which most of you have noticed) does show some interesting structure although a little on the weak side, there is better outflow towards the west with one almost detached band showing a nice anticyclonic curve through the Gulf of Carpentaria. The east side of the structure looks a little worse for wear with rather limited low to mid level convergence. Sea surface temps around the Gulf waters should be about 30c which is better than the Coral sea about 27c+-1c,the system is still being steered to the westward which is good, well worth keeping a look at over the next 12 hours, also in the northern hemisphere there is a tropical storm well south of Hong Kong with rather good outflow to the northeast. regards Clyve H. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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: "Paul Mossman" To: "Aussie Weather" Subject: aus-wx: Developing Tropical Low Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2001 13:58:49 +0930 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Importance: Normal Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi all - JTWC update.

I am going to need clear skies to observe the Leonid Meteor Storm in the early morning of Monday the 19th - about 2 am onwards. Can anybody on the wx-list that has knowledge of where we should aim to go in the chance that there is a clear sky within 2 hours travelling time of Bayswater, Victoria, send an email to me between 10 PM & 12 PM on Sunday. (18th)  
   From what I can gather, there could be a trough over Victoria at this time and the chances of a clear sky aren't good. I would appreciate any early thoughts on cloud cover in this time frame.

   Regards,

I thought about posting last night, but then thought of the flames that I would receive. However, seing it made the ABC News: Overnight storm to serve as a warning Northern Territory Emergency Services crews say a large storm which hit areas near Darwin last night, should serve as a warning for people to prepare their properties for the cyclone season. The storm swept through parts of Palmerston and Darwin's rural area early yesterday evening, causing flash flooding to some areas. Police say several trees were brought down on local roads, the Stuart Highway, and on a unit in Palmerston. Steve Twentyman from Emergency Services says the storm was very typical for this time of the year "It's probably a very opportune time to suggest to the public and the community to clean their own yards up as well because anything that's able to be blown down or blown around is going to become a potential missile during the coming cyclone season."

G'day all

Driving yesterday afternoon between Camoweel and Mt Isa, between 1.30 EST and 3.30 EST, I saw about 40 willy willys/dust devils/landnadoes.  They were about on average 150 - 200 metres high, lasting between 1 and 10 minutes.  They didn't travel very far (not much wind).  They were very narrow in shape, like a rope.  The first family, numbering about eight, that I saw were in a straight line.  It seemed that when they waned, they disappeared from the ground upwards.  Apart from the large numbers, they were much taller and unlike anything I have seen in the Southern States (where I'm from).

I captured about 5 minutes of footage on video with stills.  If I can't post them, then I'll show them at an ASWA meeting.  Temperature in the area was about 38 degrees. with one eight to two eights cumulus cloud cover.  All in all quite spectacular and certainly relieved the tedium of a long drive!

Michael

just having a bit of a storm here, lots of thunder, fair bit of rain, and a few flashes of lightning.  Last thunder clap was enough for my kids to say, might just stay inside.

I'm just wondering if anybody else is getting these storms. I'm just north of Newcastle, and we have just had 2 good-looking storms in quick sucession. The first brought about 12mm of rain, 45km/h winds and small hail (pea sized) with Vis <50m. The second (the most impressive of the two) moved quickly bringing heavy rain (Vis <50m) and was preceeded with a nice solid low gust front (which I recorded on my new video camera). I recorded another 10mm's of rain and recorded winds in excess of 50km/h. Did anybody else experience these? (or similar ones) With dew-point temps a couple of hours ago being around 20 C (now 17 C), air temp near 30 C (now 20 C), and air pressure still at 995 hpa, I think it's still looking good for this arvo. Looks to be still building to my far SW. Can anybody give me any updates of this activity? Grant http://shopping.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

Quite strong wind gusts swept through Western Sydney about an hour ago.

Hi everyone,
 
What a great day down in Wollongong. Awoke to very deep rumbling thunder at around 7am this morning and heavy rain. We had 6.9mm in a reasonably short period, but I was content to lie in bed and only listen to the thunder given it was a huge night after being a groomsman at my mates wedding.
 
Then at 1pm we had our second storm of the day which seemed to develop from a local scale convergence area. At first it looked like a quiet gust front but as i watched it quickly developed overhead into a good sized storm. There was an area of cloud only about 1-2kms from my unit that I was keeping an eye on. There was quite a bit of rotation both on the horizontal and vertical planes. I didn't really see anything to make me think wall cloud, but it was quite interesting to watch. At first it was scud rotating and lifting very quickly, but then all of a sudden this point became the focal point of the rain developing in the area. Just as the rain really started to fall within this area there was an excellent CG strike right in front of me. It was fantastic to watch it all occur from just in front of my balcony. I took a few pictures of this and then the tale end of the developing storm as it began to clear. I'm sure it seemed to be corkscrewing, but as this is the first storm I've really thought to look for this in I could be wrong.
 
Then again at around 4:30 we had a textbook classic 80's southerly buster come through. Lots of low cloud came racing through, very strong gusts and the temperature dropped dramatically. Just as I remember as a kid, and something we really haven't seemed to see too often in recent years. Just now we're getting a few rumbles and a little more rain, which is the third time we've had thunder today. It's been great. The storms are small and transient from the colder SE'lies lifting over the Illawarra escarpment. Keep it coming.
 
Cheers
Andrew Godsman

Evening all,
 
Just spoken to Anthony Cornelius for the 5th time today.  He picked up a nice supercell in the Warwick area earlier today and has just reported severe winds from N of Allora (near Warwick) from the squall line moving across the area with trees down across the hwy.  He's having a ball!  Lightning every second.  I'm sure he'll fill us all in on the details when he gets back later.

Its been a great day right up the east coast from Wollongong to Grafton to Warwick then out W to Charleville.  Some awesome storms and no doubt a few supercells.  Plenty of severe weather reports.
 
Look forward to hearing the reports of all who chased or got storms today.
 
Regards,

That storm near Warwick appeared to be a bit of a nasty rogue in front of the line. Red on radar at times. Has fizzed out now, but a line of storms is chasing after it and should swallow up its remnants soon.
 
That line is looking quite exciting.

Simon

Well I hate to admit this, but I'll be running away from the storms tonight instead of chasing them.

The media usually get it wrong in wx, and they also do so in astronomy. One of the peaks may be around 4pm, but there's not going to be much difference between 4am and 2am. And that's just a prediction, it's like predicting the weather. Looking at the clouds, I'm gunna head northwest, maybe towards Kingaroy.

Good evening all. 
 
I'm sure many people enjoyed todays action, I  hope no one was too badly put out from these strong winds that occurred today all over NSW.  It all started at 4am with lightning appearing out west, Bathurst, Dubbo and of course Parkes. Many staff were called in at 4am to handle outages once again.  I was not called in until 3pm, after Parkes had copped a huge wind storm along with lightning as well. As I was getting to work, the high winds around 50km/h, along with strong rain, I was drenched in seconds going from car.  Molong, Neville, Blayney, Cumnock areas all hit before Bathurst..  The winds did cause the most damage in all of Country Energy's area. So many powerlines reported down, aerial services mains to houses down in yards, trees completely blown over onto houses, cars. The calls were coming in thick and fast, Oberon areas also copped a battering around the same time Bathurst got hit.  A short time later is when Mudgee calls came in with high  wind reports, 135 km/h I believe was reported by BOM, 68 people waiting in queue to be answered by us.   A main 66kv line was directly hit by lightning causing most of Mudgee/Gulgong shire to go off. Along with many blown over trees to add to the problem once this 66kv line was restored.. As of 11pm many people were still off, and prob not restored until early morning from 6am.  We answered 3300 calls today from 4am this morning until 11pm tonight. I'm sure the SES crews are doing a great job helping customers who had their whole roofs ripped off in Mudgee, verandahs and many other strange things lifted up. 
 
Not only were we getting calls from our area, the phone lines into Integral and Energy Aust were so busy, people were calling us to help them as they only had recordings going and phones were dropping off.. 
 
Well as they say, an eventful day once again. 
 
Dave
Bathurst

Last time the Leniods metor shower occured back in November 98, here in WA we got a nice T/S, this time round it was a totally awesome kick ass event. Lightning off the coast was almost constant :):). I shot 4 Rolls of film plus nearly an hours of video footage of and on, Greg shot 4 rolls of film i think ? Greg ?.

Radar loops etc... I've just read this report in the SMH. At the Nelson Bay Golf Club, where more than 350 people were taking part in a charity fundraiser for the Angel Billy Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, one staffer said the storm sounded like 10 trains bearing down on him. "And we don't have a train line in Port Stephens," he said. I came out of a movie at about 4.00pm in the centre of Newcastle. I had heard thunder and rain whilst inside the cinema. I ducked over to the coast and had a look at an awesome line of storms that was now out to sea. When I looked north, there was a bright white cloud at the back of a storm in the Port Stephens area. The cloud had an inflow band leading into it and what could've been a wall cloud underneath that. From the distance though I couldn't confirm rotation. I was surprised though as both features would've been in broad daylight if you were under the cloud. In the news last night, there was an aerial shot of a dis-roofed house in the Port Stephens area with what looked like a narrow (roughly width of the house) damage path starting in the trees behind the house.

It then slowed down for a while. The clouds started to come from the west, so at 3:15am I moved to Scarbourgh, and got to see a bit more than I did from home. When the clouds came in at 3:30am it had built up to a rate of 1 a second. What made this even more amazing was that we could only see 2/8 of the sky because of the cloud.

We tried to get as close as we could, but with storms moving at such a fast speed there was no chance. Unbelievable supercell structure, knuckled backsheared anvil bulging out, huge constantly exploding dominant updraught going up on an angle into the anvil. Words cant describe, I think we were all speechless at such an incredible site, it would compare with some of the best supercell structure we have seen from the states, and i would have to say the best I have seen in Australia. Lightning was not all that frequent, but every CG I did see was into clear air. One dissapointing thing was a small rock kicked up from a truch comming the opposite way and put a large crack in my windscreen ... but it was so good to be back on the road ,doing big chases after such a drought. Arrived back in newcastle around 9pm, after leaving at 9am. Heard on the radio about a supercell near warwick, and i immediatly thought " I bet Anthony is on that" and he was :))) Also heard reports of over 100 homes damaged at Nelson Bay, roofs off homes etc. All in all an incredible day, photos up tonight/tomorrow.

Saw the afternoon warwick cell from the GC hwy & Logan Rd, great structure. Otherwise at Mt. Crosby nothing much, weak squall line passed through around 8:30pm, dumped 11.7mm. No CG's within at least 5km judging by lack of close thunder. Plenty of distant lightning to the south during most of the early evening. Seems the line was much stronger elsewhere, James reported 30mm. Strong N/NW winds developed after the line around 10:30pm and lasted for almost 2 hours. Winds terminated with a small cell which generated near Gatton and moved East around midnight, which produced a single CG 1.5km away around 1:00am. Gave up on the Leonids at 2:30am with still almost 8/8 cloud and a precip region moving in. Folks staying at Byron Bay said that the cloud cleared and gave them a brilliant show around 3:20am.

However there was quite a haze of pollution which unfortunately reflected the millions of street lights back down so that only the very brightest stars and planets were visible. I went to bed at about 21:30 (00:30 Melbourne/Sydney time) but slept through the alarm which was set for 01:00. I awoke at 04:50 (07:50 East Oz) and went out on the balcony. It was still pretty hazy so I wasn't expecting to see much, especially as surrounding tall buildings cluttered out most of the sky. However in the two minutes I stood out there, I saw half a dozen very bright, very fast meteors. Then I decided it was too cold to stay out on the balcony in just my underpants (remember it's winter here now) so went back inside. By the time I was dressed and outdoors it was already picaninny daylight at about 05:30 (08:30 East Oz). I was approached by the very excited graveyard shift security guards who came running to me saying "Rainstorm of stars! Rainstorm of stars!" Pretending to know nothing, I said, "When?" The answer came in their inimitable Chinglish: "Tonight, tomorrow, 'bout 1 o'clock, 4 o'clock". I said in Chinese, "You mean early this morning from 1 until 4 you saw a 'Rainstorm of stars'?" The response was "Three big rainstorms of stars". I therefore deduce that while I was asleep there were three peaks of the Leonids visible despite the brightly illuminated haze. I'm afraid my Chinese is not good enough and their English is not good enough for me to get any real details. A lot of people from here were going by boat to islands in the South China Sea, so I expect some good reports when they get back later this morning.

We started off driving out towards Lancelin north of Perth and got a fairly nice show up there with some big CG's, some of them quite close. We headed inland after another cell hanging around New Norcia but didnt get there before it started to fall apart so after some rather indecision we finally decided to head back towards the coast. We ended up back in Perth on the beech at Pinnaroo Point about 5 mins drive from where I live. We were greated with a really impressive lightning show off the coast, almost constant flashes. Most of the lightning at this time was CC stuff so was just good to sit back & watch but as the system started getting closer the CG's started getting more & more frequent making for awesome lightning photography conditions. I quick radar update from Jason Bush told us that the cell we were watching had a massive area of pink in it and that there was a Severe Thunderstorm Warning out for the metro area, looks like me made the right decision to stop where we did :)). I shot off nearly 3 rolls of film on this one cell.

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi Matt and others,

Todays addition of the Newcastle Herald shows a nice picture of a vortex on the front page traveling across the water at Little Beach near Nelson Bay. Port Stephens copped the worst effects of the storms anywhere in the Hunter yesterday. The Nelson Bay Coastal Patrol had there anemometer smashed when the winds hit 75kts, but it was believed the winds were increasing when this occurred. Damages were very typical of wind speeds between 65-100kts winds. Trees were uprooted and snapped, houses were uproofed, walls on brick homes blew in and weak structures such as sheds collapsed. Many boats at the marinas had suffered damages.
I took some photos of the damages at Port Stephens yesterday afternoon and when I went there I found that the trees had blown over in a irregular direction indicating the possibility of a tornado or some kind of vortex. The photo on this morning Newcastle Herald shows what I think is a strong gustnado. My brother (who was in a boat at the time on the water) spoke to some who witnessed the storm when it first hit. Many described seeing waterspouts approaching them across the water!!! What I have worked out is that this has occured as a result of a prevailing 25kt NE'ly wind that proceeded the westerly microburst.
One thing about the day that has really stuck in mind, is the radar image for Williamtown when I looked at it around 1pm. I was amazed at all the red spots (rain intensities >100mm/hr) that were scattered across the map!!!!!!!
Anyway, better get going. I am suppose to be doing some work. :o) I will try and get some of my photos up on the web as soon as possible.

Cheers,

angle into the anvil. Words cant describe, I think we were all
speechless at such an incredible site, it would compare with some of the
best supercell structure we have seen from the states, and i would have
to say the best I
 have seen in Australia.

Lightning was not all that frequent, but every CG I did see was into
clear air. One dissapointing thing was a small rock kicked up from a
truch comming the opposite way and put a large crack in my windscreen
... but it was so good to be back on the road ,doing big chases after
such a drought. Arrived back in newcastle around 9pm, after leaving at
9am.
Heard on the radio about a supercell near warwick, and i immediatly
thought " I bet Anthony is on that" and he was :)))
Also heard reports of over 100 homes damaged at Nelson Bay, roofs off
homes etc.

All in all an incredible day, photos up tonight/tomorrow.

Was fortunate to have about half an hour reasonable viewing in the gaps in the clouds between about 2:20 and 2:50, and observed the numbers increasing from about 4 or 5 a minute to about 20-30 a minute, with at times perhaps 6/8 of the sky clear mid-period, although much of the time it was 6/8 or greater low cloud from the NNW. Some of the meteors were so bright you could actually see them as glowing patches through the low cloud before emerging in the clear patches. A slow moving rain cloud was moving in from the W gradually restricting the viewing field. After that I did not get any more opportunities. Heard a report on ABC radio from an astro-person visiting Winton saying it was spectacular out there, with crystal clear skies and meteors streaming in 'like heavy rain' at times, peaking several times, with the best peak being at about 3:50 EST with 4-5 per second. He said several were about half as bright as the full moon with tracks lasting many minutes gradually being sheared by the upper winds, with one really brilliant one just before sunrise.

I haven't heard any snow reports from that area (and I can't imagine that the Gelantipy Road/Barry Way would have been exactly overwhelmed with traffic at 4 this morning), but the above figures from stations with elevations in the 600s would suggest a snowline somewhere between 600 and 900 metres in this area. Quite impressive for the second half of November! (although not as much so as the 22 November 1996 system). Any news from Jindabyne?

Greg Stewart ---------------------------- Trick your address book! Who among us doesn't know someone who has experienced the embarrassment of unknowingly spreading a computer virus via their email address book? It's time to STOP this from happening by TAKING CONTROL of your email program! For those who are unaware, many computer viruses spread themselves by sending themselves to everyone in your address book. Imagine how you would feel if you were unknowingly infected with a computer virus, and worse yet, your friends, family, and business contacts were being targeted by your computer! Well, if you want to avoid this sort of thing, here's a great tip: This tip won't prevent YOU from getting any viruses (you have to scan those attachments yourself before opening them to do that), but it will stop those viruses from latching onto your address book and sending itself out to others. To avoid spreading computer viruses, create a contact in your email address book with the name : !0000 with no email address in the details. This contact will then show up as your first contact. If a virus attempts to do a "send all" on your contact list, your pc will put up an error message saying that: "The Message could not be sent. One or more recipients do not have an e-mail address. Please check your Address Book and make sure all the recipients have a valid e-mail address." You click on OK and the offending (virus) message would not have been sent to anyone. Of course no changes have been made to your original contacts list. The offending (virus) message may then be automatically stored in your "Drafts" or "Outbox" folder. Go in there and delete the offending message. Problem is solved and virus is not spread. Try this and pass on to your email contacts. The more people that use this technique, the less vulnerable we will be to viruses that spread in this manner! --- This is an eNikken E-Mail Broadcast message.

Storms were firing in Sydney (the southern edge of the same stuff) as I left just after noon. By the time I made it to Brooklyn, static was constant..Cgs started appearing just south of Gosford and I rang the Weather Co. for an update from Matt Piper. I was stuck in driving rain and hail (only to 2cm max) near Qurimbah, some very intense winds and flangs all the way to the end of the F3...over an hour of it. Just couldn't get out of the core. Still I had taken enough of a beating so gave up the chase and watched some of the most impressive back end structure move east. With things to do at home I headed back only to learn that a most spectacular storm fired up right were I had been only an hour earlier. Still, it was a great chase for being in the weather but not so for the photo album! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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: "nandina morris" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: FW: Trick your Address Book and avoid spreading viruses!

heyas!!!
storms were abundent yesterday over parts of australia yesterday.
here is some of gold coasts' action.
the huge cell that had a large part red SW of Warwick earlier on looked like this in later stages
before it died to barely a dark blue when it crossed the coast, not happy jan!!!
the main line of the system hit the gold coast pretty late in the evening, but the fireworks started early when i heard a massive party of some sort with thousands of dollars worth of fireworks, for those interested see these
 
then the fun started with these lightning shots
 
got  some nice cb on film today off the coast, might post pics later tonight
hope you enjoy these.

Hi Matt and others,

Todays addition of the Newcastle Herald shows a nice picture of a vortex on the front page traveling across the water at Little Beach near Nelson Bay. Port Stephens copped the worst effects of the storms anywhere in the Hunter yesterday. The Nelson Bay Coastal Patrol had there anemometer smashed when the winds hit 75kts, but it was believed the winds were increasing when this occurred. Damages were very typical of wind speeds between 65-100kts winds. Trees were uprooted and snapped, houses were uproofed, walls on brick homes blew in and weak structures such as sheds collapsed. Many boats at the marinas had suffered damages.
I took some photos of the damages at Port Stephens yesterday afternoon and when I went there I found that the trees had blown over in a irregular direction indicating the possibility of a tornado or some kind of vortex. The photo on this morning Newcastle Herald shows what I think is a strong gustnado. My brother (who was in a boat at the time on the water) spoke to some who witnessed the storm when it first hit. Many described seeing waterspouts approaching them across the water!!! What I have worked out is that this has occured as a result of a prevailing 25kt NE'ly wind that proceeded the westerly microburst.
One thing about the day that has really stuck in mind, is the radar image for Williamtown when I looked at it around 1pm. I was amazed at all the red spots (rain intensities >100mm/hr) that were scattered across the map!!!!!!!
Anyway, better get going. I am suppose to be doing some work. :o) I will try and get some of my photos up on the web as soon as possible.

Cheers,

Does anyone know more about the storm which hit the Nelson Bay area?  Radar
loops etc...

I've just read this report in the SMH.

At the Nelson Bay Golf Club, where more than 350 people were taking part in
a charity fundraiser for the Angel Billy Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service,
one staffer said the storm sounded like 10 trains bearing down on him. "And
we don't have a train line in Port Stephens," he said.

I came out of a movie at about 4.00pm in the centre of Newcastle.  I had
heard thunder and rain whilst inside the cinema.  I ducked over to the coast
and had a look at an awesome line of storms that was now out to sea.  When I
looked north, there was a bright white cloud at the back of a storm in the
Port Stephens area.  The cloud had an inflow band leading into it and what
could've been a wall cloud underneath that.  From the distance though I
couldn't confirm rotation.  I was surprised though as both feat
ures would've
been in broad daylight if you were under the cloud.

In the news last night, there was an aerial shot of a dis-roofed house in
the Port Stephens area with what looked like a narrow (roughly width of the
house) damage path starting in the trees behind the house.

Grateful for any extra info.

Andrew

I waited in Western Sydney and after rapid storm development near Windsor made the blunder of heading up the Putty Road. Small cell after cell along the road, occasional glimpses at beautiful storm structure, but for anybody that knows this road it is 160km with about 2 photo opportunities. Cleared briefly in the Hunter where I met with Jimmy, Matt, Mario and Geoff at Scone. I kept pressing north, but always seemed an hour behind every storm. Lots of tree damage from Tamworth - Glen Innes. Hail drifts on side of road at Ben Lomond. Storm with hail, constant rolling thunder ( no kidding no silence for about 1 hour ) and torrential rain at 3-4am in morning at Glen Innes. Monday saw breath taking congestus near Glen Innes at 7am. Cleared to dull overcast and cool SW at Warwick by noon. Storm line was now pushing towards Capricorn coast - too far to chase. Headed from Toowoomba back towards coast and NSW. Warm and sticky at Murwillumbah at 4pm. Weak storms in area. SE change encountered near Byron Bay. Storm at Coffs Harbour with torrential rain at sunset. Today I headed back dropping by Port Stephens. Damage largely confined to town itself - particularly Soldiers Point and Corlette. All the big trees that I saw had fallen pointing E/NE. However there was a section of more severe damage at Corlette. I will have a chase report up some time tomorrow.

Been a bit slow on posting about this system, but probably the most interesting thing to me was the unusual distribution of temperatures in the lower atmosphere (see http://weather.uwyo.edu/cgi-bin/sounding?region=pac&TYPE=TEXT%3ALIST&YEAR=20 01&MONTH=11&FROM=1812&TO=1812&STNM=94866) Notably, there was very strong ridging which came in imediately after the trough/front, and saw a marked subsidence inversion near 10,000 feet develop at the same time as the coldest air came through. Below the inversion the temperatures were very cold for November, with (I would estimate) the freezing level dropping to about 800 metres in southern Victoria in the early evening, and snow possible to about 600m as Blair mentioned... The Cbs around Melbourne were glaciated to very low level on Sunday, but at the same time had tops at only ~11,000 feet. Certainly, in the Dandenongs both I (at 400m) and a Friend at 550m observed hail and graupel showers on Sunday afternoon/evening, but our temperatures during this event were marginally to warm for sleet or snow (I 3.9C, friend 3.3C). Interestingly, in the event of a Sunday a week ago we got to 3.3C and observed heavy sleet showers, and I saw snow proper falling to about 600m... yet the 1000-500 thickness values coinciding with the coldest air (this time) were around 540gpdm compared to 530gpdm a week before (which SHOULD translate into a temperature difference of about 5C not 0.5C). For those of us who dabble in amateur snow forecasting, it just goes to show the dangers of relying on thickness values only... BTW Tina keep the snow reports coming. Those of us who "can" get snow love to hear about the fortunes and miss-fortunes of the other snow buffs on the list.

Hi Peter,

It certaibnly is gusting down here in Wollongong at 1:30pm. The winds seem to be as strong as this time yesterday as we had a few rain storms (light rain only though) cross the coast during the later afternoon. It'll be interesting to see just when things do start to calm down or is this due to some new development somewhere along the coast? Some light drizzle starting again now for the first time since yesterday evening. And the ocean is churning the best I've seen it for a while as well.

Cheers
Andrew Godsman

At this stage, we will most likely head west tomorrow, and take our (slim) chances on Friday (Charleville-Augethella), before something more definate/substantial looks like happening for the weekend in S QLD at this stage. Of course, no chasing plan is ever set in jelly, let alone concrete!

It was on Tuesday when we arrived back at Darwin airport from Melville Island and were waiting around for a taxi. Luckily it didn't arrive as it enabled me to video the storm that was coming in from the southeast. I've put some captures of the funnel here: http://www.maths.monash.edu.au/~robert/Weather/Dawex/Day18/today.html I still have to go through the rest of the tape for the lighting which was going off after the storm passed. I have never seen lighting like that before! In addition we had clear skies for the Leonid meteor shower, although it didn't storm to the same degree that some people have already indicated. On Monday morning from 2:30am to 5:20am I was able to count 1070 meteors with a pretty constant rate throughout of 6 per minute. However there were times when there would be 3 simulataneous meteors steaking through the sky, and in one instance I saw 8 meteors within 2 secs. There were a few fireballs which cast shadows, and one which left a train which was visible for a few minutes after the meteor burnt up, and you could see the upper level winds distort the trail. The whole event truely was spectacular!! As for Hector, well it was bloody huge to say the least. Not only were there storms during the arvo, but there was plenty of convection at night giving spectacular light displays. Consequently, I averaged 4 hours sleep a night during the whole trip in order to try and see everything. I'll be doing the report and putting up pics over the next couple of weeks.

Half a week later the moisture component of the convective smorgasboard ((C) a certain ( ) forecaster) looks good only as far S as BTL (Townsville) with a juicy 12+ g/kg in the lowest 150 hPa. The 23Z BRK and BBN soundings show no convincing signs of moisture return thus far. Any place further inland is worse off in term of good moisture. My hope is that the good juice N of 20 degrees S will make it S far enough to connect with the dynamics of the next system (see below). SYNOPTIC STORY: --------------- The surface wind change associated with that system is hiding in the data void between the Eyre Peninsula and N WA, so is there is some time left for the moisture to get moving to the place where it ought to be, further S. The latest AVN run has the corresponding slow-moving mid-level cut off cyclone sitting S of the Bight at the longitude of the WA/SA border at 06 Z this afternoon. Particularly SW SA has some convection on the cool side of the surface change ATM, but I doubt any of the convection has reached severe levels. The W/C VIC soundings (MTG, MML) have started to cool slightly at mid- and upper levels, evident from the "murky-fication" of the skies over Melbourne, for example. Yours truly waiting ...

My father inlaw was based in Darwin during WW2  flying Catalina flying boats and he says you have never seen a thunder storm untill youv'e seen one up there.
Interesting coment on the upper level winds in regard to the long lasting meteor trains.It may give some of the blokes in the Astronomical Society of Victoria an indication of how deeply some of the larger particles penetrated the atmosphere.
Do you mind if I pass on your report to them ?

Well we have only just back power here. What an eventful day it has been!! After awaking to wind squalls, rain and thunder around 6am, we had a beautifully humid morning, with the first storms firing overhead and dumping a tidy 15mm in 15 minutes ( at Blaxland). Then at 3:30pm I saw the STW out for my area, which was a surprise as it had dried substantially from the 25/22 at 11am to 32/11 at 3pm. As I was outside checking out some rather nice looking dark bases, we lost power, which was a sign of things to come. We had been receiving solid 15kt NW'sters most of the afternoon, but at around 3:40 it all went silent. Then, as some big drops started to smack into the ground, my father remarked on a large "train like roar" he could hear from the gully to the SW. We silently stood on the back deck of our house and listened to this huge roar as the winds belted up from the WSW. I have always heard people liken ferocious winds to 'freight trains' and now I can fully appreciate the similarities. As it got closer and closer, large pieces of debris were being tossed around some 50 metres overhead. It didn't help that tomorrow was the councils large rubbish collection, so most residences had old pieces of wood, furniture, fridges stacked neatly for this collection. The noise of the roar had reached such a volume that a persons yelling voice was bearly audible in the open.. As pieces of corrugated iron were cartwheeling down the street, one couldn't help felling a little scared at what fury these winds would bring. The winds hit at around 3:50pm. There was a dozen loud cracking noises as trees around us were broken under the shear pressure of the onslaught. The winds were persistent. Not short sharp gusts, but long exasperated forces. I watched trees in the gully bend and bend as there was no relief from the incessant winds, no time for the tree to straighten up in defiant preparation for the next gust. It was strong, hard relentless energy, which many trees simply did not cope with. Most of the damage occurred on the SW side of our ridge. We are on the SE side, so we were protected somewhat. Some of the houses on the SW side had roofs blown off. One house had a trailer flipped right over, and another endured a patio cover being ripped off the house and blown into the street. The day did not end there. As my fiancé and I drove to her house in Blaxland we encountered quite widespread damage from these winds. Large trees down everywhere (and I mean everywhere), especially around Emu Plains and Glenbrook. Lots of local businesses with fences quite literally blown out of the ground and smashed windows. There were powerlines down and trees through shopfronts and supermarkets. I have never seen such widespread damage before, even the big southerly buster that we experienced in March of this year wasn't as widespread and hectic as this was. dann __________________________ Daniel Weatherhead Blaxland, NSW weatherhead at ozemail.com.au SYDNEY STORM CHASERS www.sydneystormchasers.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Carroll" To: Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2001 5:55 PM Subject: aus-wx: Sydney winds > HI Mal.. > > Keep those reports coming in, they are great....

Yes, good morning Dave, earlier there were over 2000 strikes in an hour across the central west!  Not bad...The BoM issued a severe storm warning for the area...

Water evaporates. Even a block of ice contains heat energy. At zero degrees it still contains heat energy. When someone tells you that for the first time you think, ‘Wow. Not ice. There’s no heat in ice’. But there is. There’s a lot of heat in something that’s frozen solid. At absolute zero, which is minus two hundred and seventy three point one five degrees Celsius, there’s supposed to be nothing. Nothing exists at minus two hundred and seventy three degrees Celsius. Now there’s an idea. Nothing. That’s a space with absolutely nothing inside. A pool evaporates water, a river evaporates water, an ocean evaporates water. Even on the frozen wastes of Alaska some evaporation still occurs. A tiny molecule escapes its field and rises up into the air as a vapour. From a liquid to a gas. And as it rises it cools. It loses energy. That’s the way it goes, generally. As air rises it cools. As a molecule rises it cools. And if it cools far enough it condenses. Then, it becomes a liquid again. Condensation is a gas or a vapour turning back into a liquid. A sweet idea, really. And this, this is the beginning of milky white clouds. That tiny molecule though needs something to condense around. It needs dust or smoke particles, salt, anything. It needs something. If the air is pure, if there is nothing, then supercooling can occur, and condensation might not occur. But to get a cloud forming we need something in the air; some particles. We need something. On a sunny day we sometimes see a single cloud in the sky. A single cloud, motionless, in a sea of blue. Beautiful. But, of course, it’s only an illusion. Not the beauty aspect. The colours. The sky is not really blue, and the cloud is not really white. Take a jar up there for a sample. Try to get a jar full of colour. There is no colour. It’s an illusion. It’s colourless. It’s just a trick of light. Somewhere else the sky might be red, or orange, or green, or salmon pink. Somewhere else it might be a rich and heady mix of damson, violet, maroon, and indigo. There’s not many colours the sky can’t be. But how come, how come in all that blue, in that sea of blue, in that trick of blue that’s not blue, in all that immensity, how come there’s just a single little cloud? Well maybe that cloud is like a magnet, and when all those tiny drops of water evaporate, rise up through the air, cool and condense, well maybe they’re drawn to one another like bugs to a light. Maybe that cloud is just a water magnet in the sky. You know, scientists have tried to create nothing. With all the technology they can muster, with the equipment and brains that have put people on the moon, sunk them to the bottom of the oceans, exploded atoms and cities and peoples lives. With all that technology they still can’t create nothing. It’s incredible. It’s a joke. It’s a bloody funny joke. But, of course, for some people, the inability to create nothing is a problem. That’s when a nothing becomes a something. Try creating nothing. A space containing nothing; absolutely nothing. The mother of all vacuums. A vacuum to end all vacuums. A space free from the rest of the universe. A space where absolutely nothing from anywhere can be. A nothing like no nothing you can imagine. Not a jot. An idea-less space, a heat-less space, a dust-less space, a light-less space, a cloud-less space, a history-less space, an everything-less space. A nothing inside of a something. You see, the thing is, we can’t evacuate a space, not totally. They take a box, and try to suck out all its insides. That’s what they do, scientists. They try to suck the insides of things. They get the most powerful pumps you can imagine and draw out the air. Then they get the most powerful coolants you can imagine, and take out the heat. They want to get it all out. A box with nothing. An empty box. A soulless box. What a present that would be. A box that if opened it’d suck you in at the speed of light. They’ve been trying for years, you know. Day after day getting it further and further down towards nothing. Minus two hundred and seventy Celsius, minus two hundred and seventy one, then two, then three. Fractionally closer and closer. But they still haven’t arrived. Not yet. With all the will in the world they still haven’t arrived at a space with nothing inside. Minus two hundred and seventy three point one five degrees Celsius. Nought degrees Kelvin. That’s nothing. They’ve got close though, real close. They’ve got to nought point two eight millionths of a degree away. Nought point two eight millionths of a degree away! That’s 0.00000028 degrees away from nothing. It’s a squidge. But in terms of getting there, they may as well be a million miles away, a billion miles away. It’s more difficult than putting a man on the moon. Than exploding the atom. More difficult than, well, anything. Perhaps it can’t be done. Maybe nothing does not, cannot, exist. They talk about space being a vacuum. A vacuum. I suppose it’s how you define it. If it’s a space entirely devoid of matter, then space isn’t a vacuum, not in the true sense. It still has heat energy, for one thing. So it has something, and a vacuum, really, should have nothing. Space isn’t a vacuum. There’s no space entirely devoid of matter. Seems like some things are impossible. You know, the vast majority of clouds in the sky are not rain bearing. Over ninety percent are not rain bearing, they just float along; drifting in and out of existence. Gas liquid, liquid gas, sometimes solid to liquid to gas. They’re classified under three different types. There’s cumulus; fair weather clouds, stratus; sheet-like clouds, and cirrus; high level clouds. Cumulus clouds are the ones we get on a summer’s day. They’re the ones that sit lonesome in the belly of the sky. Stratus clouds are the ones that spread themselves across the sky in a huge chalky mass. They’re the ones that give us overcast days, the ones that you think might bring heavy rain. Cirrus clouds are the ones we see high up. They’re the ones that look like little wisps in the air. The ones that look like horses tails, or flicks of paint. Cirrus clouds are frozen. They’re composed of ice crystals. That’s the three. Three layers. Low, middle and high. It’s a bit generalised, but that’s the way of things. As soon as we classify anything it’s in danger of becoming a generalisation. Give it a name, then abuse it. But what the hell. Let’s generalise. Ken opens the fridge and feels a blast of cold air. He takes out the tin of condensed milk and studies the label. He holds it up, close to his face and reads; slowly, clearly. ‘Carnation Condensed Milk.’ He tilts his head and drops some sweet white liquid into his mouth. He moves it from cheek to cheek, then swallows. Ken has the can in his hand as he looks into the empty fridge. It’s a cold, empty space with nothing inside. He stares, blinks, then closes the door. He lifts his mug from the draining board, moves to the table, sits and sips his tea. It’s early morning. Outside it’s grey and overcast. He thinks it’s probably going to rain. --------------------- Extract from ‘Weatherman’ Available from Amazon.co.uk Anthony Cropper _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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: "Carolyn" To: Subject: aus-wx: Hunter Storms Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2001 08:39:11 +1100 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com
Hi All,
I awoke at about 6.30am to heavy thunder here, and then some rain.  The thunder has started again, so looks like it is going to be an interesting day here.  I have no access to my browser, so can't see the local radar.

I must agree it is going to be an interesting weekend in the Hunter. This morning started out very similar to last Sunday, that is thunder and light rain and clearing by about mid morning. Already there is some Cu forming.
There is a NNE wind blowing at the surface right now, the AVN is predicting Li's lower then 0 across a large area of eastern NSW and 500hpa winds of around 45 kts!!! This all means that it may end up very exciting!!! Just bring more heat at the surface.
Fingers crossed.

It certainly has been very interesting weather in the last week.
Yesterday (Saturday 24th) I chased a storm near Branxton which dumped 2cm hail at Elderslie. The conditions today aren't as good as yesterday as there is a WNW wind blowing. But there is still some good convection and would say that the Upper Hunter would be the pick for this afternoon in the Hunter.
Cheers,

Hi Carolyn and others,

I must agree it is going to be an interesting weekend in the Hunter. This morning started out very similar to last Sunday, that is thunder and light rain and clearing by about mid morning. Already there is some Cu forming.
There is a NNE wind blowing at the surface right now, the AVN is predicting Li's lower then 0 across a large area of eastern NSW and 500hpa winds of around 45 kts!!! This all means that it may end up very exciting!!! Just bring more heat at the surface.
Fingers crossed.

Hi All,
I awoke at about 6.30am to heavy thunder here, and then some rain.  The thunder has started again, so looks like it is going to be an interesting day here.  I have no access to my browser, so can't see the local radar.

We were going to head to Grafton but decided to go west. That cell crossed near Woolgoolga, so it would have been too far. We got to the top of the Richmond Range (elev ~450m) 50km W of Casino at about 4.30pm. It was not encouraging at this stage. Weak high based cu to the S and SW, but through the haze we could see distant anvils further west. Winds were blowing about 25knots from the NE, temp about 33 and DP about 17. We decided to visit one of Rodney's friends nearby and wait for the activity to get closer. By 6pm it was looking very nice to the west with the anvils spreading over and development occurring on the ranges. We headed back to the lookout at Mallangenee. All the local radio enthusiasts were on the airwaves in force so we were able to get updates on storm position. We had an awesome 90 min display as the line of cells approached. Actual storm features were poor, apart from the mamatus, but the lightning was just amazing! Pulsating CGs and these squiggly anvil underside crawlers that stretched from the SW horizon to the NE ! I've never seen so much electricity showing at once - unfortunately, impossible to fully capture on the video. Around 8pm the first spits of rain occurred, then shortly after a huge CG to the immediate west with overhead anvil crawler told us it was time to go. The lookout is also a radio repeater station with plenty of wires and towers close by. We could hear the crackling sound in those wires when the bolt struck ! We headed back east and home, but the show continued for another 4 hours. CGs in all directions, pulsating many times and lighting up the whole countryside. Rain had set in, only light at first by picked up a few times later. I recorded 17mm, though Casino had 49mm. Quite a night !

Didn't notice any mention of this, but anyway... Yesterday, a mate and I went up to the top of Mt Macedon to participate in a CB radio exercise (which in itself was a bit of fun :) ). We arrived around 5PM in mild and humid conditions. Around 7PM, a line of showers and storms threatened to head in our direction and put a dampener on the radio exercise, and one of the stations, who was at Mt Blackwood, reported some mean looking lightning about 10-20km away from his position (I was unable to see this myself, due to the sun being in that direction). As luck would have it, the storms slid to the south (and later I also got a report of storm activity around St Arnaud as well), and a little after 8PM, while working on some of the longer distance contacts (around 200km to Mt Fatigue, near Foster), I was treated to some spectacular CG lightning displays around the Geelong area. At one time, there were 3 simulatenous CGs which lit up the southern half of the sky. Very spectacular! :) All in all, there were numerous flashes as the storm crossed the southern half of Port Phillip Bay. It was a spectacular sight from our mountain perch. Back on the radio, many of these lightning discharges were clearly audible on 27 MHz CB, despite being some 70-80km away, so it sounded like a mean storm. It was a nice "bonus" to an already successful afternoon/evening on the radio. :) Did anyone else catch this storm, perhaps from a closer vantage point? P.S. I was thinking of posting advance notice of our trip to the list, as I knew the vantage point would be excellent from a weather point of view. Now I wish I had, calls from Melbournites seeking weather reports would have been appreciated, we talked about just the weather a bit as it was. :-) P.P.S. The sun stayed out almost all the time while we were on the mountain, despite the stormy weather around. We were prepared to be in the thick of it, but that didn't eventuate.

It was the best setup I have seen in Australia this year. I am (almost) amazed that there weren't any tornado reports. The 0500 UTC surface chart shows a clear moisture boundary running from Sydney to Moree to Charleville, with good surface dewpoints (15 C upwards) E of that boundary. Generally the surface winds shifted from NW to NNE when crossing that boundary from the W, i.e. I'd expect some low-level convergence. SSY showed more than 200 hPa of 8+ g/kg of moisture at 0400 UTC (special sounding !!??) with the winds turning from 25/010 at the surface to 65/270 at 500 --> that is a potent hodograph and a ~70 knot shear vector! Mid-level lapse rates were close to dry adiabatic accounting for an eyeballed 2000 J/kg of CAPE for the 50mb mean surface parcel. The wind field had no weaknesses. The only caveat was some capping at low levels, requiring deep lift to get parcels to their LFC. The 2300 UTC MOR sounding also showed deep moisture, great turning of a consistenty stout flow and promising lapse rates. 2300 UTC BCV had a hellofa cap at 850, but had 150 hPa of 12 g/kg leading to an eyeballed 4000 J/kg of CAPE. Gasp! In other words, BCV had LI = -7. The cap obviously broke later with a line of supercells stretching from N of Newcastle all the way Charleville and beyond. Why do I think supercells? The shear in the soundings is sufficient, the CAPE is ample, good turning of the winds, enough ll moisture and all cells had 55+ dBZ reflectivities. The cell N of Newcastle was a classic left-mover, consistent with the 0400 UTC anticlockwise hodograph out of SSY. VIS showed large cold anvils. Maybe there'll be some more reports trickling in ...

There was significant storm damage at Warialda near Inverell on the NW Slopes - some structural damage to buildings. The 03z to 06Z satpics show explosive growth, but it seems to have turned more into large storm complexes rather than isolated supercells from 06z - broad scale radar from this time shows widespread precipitations with little separation. Prior to this time, the Newcastle left mover, and the Armidale to Coffs cells certainly stand out. I recall the amazing setup on 29/9/96 when there was excellent separation between almost all cells, though not sure whether they became convective complexes later. Three tornadoes were filmed that day, who knows how many there were ! But still, you'd expect some more reports from Saturday . regards, Michael At 10:58 AM 26/11/2001 +1100, you wrote: >Storm connoisseurs: > >NSW and QLD had a classic severe weather setup last Saturday (24 Nov 01). >It was the best setup I have seen in Australia this year. >I am (almost) amazed that there weren't any tornado reports. > >The 0500 UTC surface chart shows a clear moisture boundary running >from Sydney to Moree to Charleville, with good surface dewpoints >(15 C upwards) E of that boundary.

Compared to the previous 3 days the surface dewpoints have dropped a bit, but are still workable NE of a line running Newcastle - Moree - Charleville. The moisture depth in BCV is below my comfort level and I'd expect the surface dewpoints to mix out over the next few hours. The wind field S (WLM) is getting too weak, leaving the NE NSW/SE QLD area with the best combination of deeper moisture and remaining flow. Caveats: (1) soundings are convectively processed, which would suggest weaker storms a la squall line that is currently approaching MOR from the SW. Insolation is a player, and as of 2332 UTC the general area NE of MOR was doing OK. \begin{hunch} (2) The westerly surface flow in SE QLD makes me nervous, and I have a sneaking suspicion that some mesolow is hiding SSE of MOR. If that low exists (surface data don't show it) I would further imagine an improved shear profile SSE of MOR, with some deeper moisture wraparounds. SSE of MOR has no decent insolation, though. \end{hunch} Is anyone out there chasing today?

That put an end to storm development in Sydney. I watched and waited at a lookout and suspected there was a cap stopping development. This was confirmed after arriving home and checking the PM Sydney sounding. Obviously the cap must have been weaker further north where the storms eventually developed. You might be interested to see the sounding if you missed it.

We had 8mm of rain, no storms Friday and Saturday started with Scatured and messy but large Cu. While playing Cricket the Cu started to get some structure and I thought hmmmm the BoM said yeah Chance of a late shower in the afternoon which we had a few spots during the game, yeah but ummm hmmm, as I looked to the West, what about that big Cb!! Cbs started going off at about 5pm and a rather large Cell was heading straight for Ballarat. Having had a good day playing cricket, making 11no and 16-5-5-45 with the ball and one catch I thought a storm would be a nice way to end the day but I forgot I couldn't go chasing because I was going to a party! But I watched it all brew while I was getting driven to the pub. Lots of nice CGs and many booms of thunder although when I was in the pub you'd never think a storm was raging outside with gust of wind to 80km/h! The storm gave my gauge another 5mm. Sunday pretty much started the same as Saturday but the Cu looked even messier. But once again late int he Afternoon, Cbs grew up but I didn't think these would be as electricly active as the storms Saturday afternoon. So I took my mate, who doesn't know much about storms, for a drive around the country side of Ballarat giving him a basic run down of storms and the differences. Although I only saw one Cg the storms where no where near as good as saturday's but there was more rain with this lot, adding 8mm to the 13mm for the weekend. I took some shots on the digi so I'll get them on the net when I have some time to get them on cheers Les Baxter Ballarat Weather _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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: "Steve Baynham" To: "weather" Subject: aus-wx: PICS: 27/11 lightning!!!!

The rain was belting down sidways! Lightning was fierce too... I managed to get out to take a quick panorama just before it struck - it was truly bearing down on us at a great rate. Note the smoothed outline of the top of the approaching shelf...haven't seen it that distinct for some time...

At the same time near record warmth has descended on SW WA (37C at Perth Airport yesterday) with a well developed west coast trough, while much of subtropical and tropical parts of the country are cloaked in very humid air with precipitable water values approaching 50mm. Surprisingly, the models are relatively consistent for the next couple of days with a strong early summer cold blast for Tasmania, a near miss for Victoria, and a gradual accumulation of moisture over the continent. An interesting scenario which is being played out by the models by about day four (UK, US, and lesser extent GASP and ECMWF) is that of a developing baroclinic zone (and eventually cyclogenesis) over southern Australia early next week as the large dome of cold air associated with the high currently south of WA spreads across the Australian Bight. Still, with such an unusual set up at present, one cannot discount some surprises and rapid scenario changes.

They used the domain name world.std.com, as all of the mail came from the server that they called "world". They are slowly changing their domain name to theworld.com in part to be more standard in their naming convention. Right now world.std.com is aliased to theworld.com. You should be able to send mail to aussie-weather at world.std.com or to aussie-weather at theworld.com and it should behave just the same way. Every day I receive mail from both addresses. Because Dann was having problems with his mail getting delayed I suggested that he try theworld.com in case there was any problem with the aliasing. It seems to have made no difference at all. In the meantime, and for the foreseeable future, feel free to use either address.

This would explain why various people who received infected emails from Adam Cole yesterday all had different subject lines, i.e. their own subject lines from previously sent emails. More news about W32/BadTrans at MM: Although this virus attacks the Outlook Mailbox to propagate, it will infect a PC not running Outlook and will install a 'back-door' trojan that allows the virus originator to gain access to the PC via the internet. It will also install a keyboard snoop to detect key-strokes and collect passwords, financial account numbers and the like, which it returns to the virus originator.

Ah. That explains what the strange message I got from him was. To me it just appeared as a whole lot of gibberish on the bottom of the message, encoded in MS's standard method of encoding attachments. Of course you realise that Linux users are invulnerable to Microsoft viruses. But seriously, maybe it would be a good idea to install some sort of virus scanner on the machine that runs this list. All it would need to do is delete any message that contained a *.vbs file, *.exe, *.scr, *.bat or *.pif file. This can be acheived quite simply using procmail with the sendmail mailer-daemon. If the person who runs this list isn't sure how to do it, please email me, and I'll be sure to pass the info on.

As this version of BADTRANS has only been in existence for about 48 hours and is spreading like lightning and does not need the e-mail to be opened to cause infection, and as most people only update their virus-detection software about once a week, I am afraid we may see a lot more of it before it is eradicated. My e-mail server virus scanner is only detecting it because of "virus- like" behaviour, not because of a specific identification. Today's pattern update should fix that. As I have already received it through other e-mail accounts as well, I am not even certain yet that this computer is free of it. It is being scanned as I type.

I never contribute as I am unaware of the technicalities that you guys speak of, but am very interested in this amazing weather we have been having ... hence my subscription :) Anyway, here are some details that may assist you with that pesky virus : BADTRANS.B is a new and particularly nasty virus. It has an "auto execute" feature which does not require the recipient to open the attachment in which it is hiding. You only have to view the post for the virus to be activated. Another of its features is that it can forge the return address so the identity of the sender is masked. Everyone should update their antiviral software virus definition list immediately AND, for everyone using MS Outlook, contact Microsoft for the security patch which prevents the virus from auto executing. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/ bulletin/MS01-020.asp I run Outlook Express and have enabled a pop-up screen that asks if I want to open an attachment ... this prevents the attachment from auto-executing. I will list here some details to help you get it cleaned. *** I highly recommend PC-cillin.

Yes nasty viruses running around everywhere. Been keeping up to date with my anti- virus software (and detecting viruses) but yesterday upgraded to Nortons System Works 2002 and this is doing an extra special job – very pleased with it. Really hammering those viruses.

 

Weather forecast for Friday – Saturday – Thunderstorms.

 

Best wishes

A bee keeper out at Alice Springs says that central Australia is going to receive a lot of rain over the next few months. He is estimating 3x normal. His bee's are plugging up everything down low and really working overtime storing food. He says that he hasn't seen that sort of thing since 1988. That was the last time we had a strong La Nina event from memory - (I was living in Sydney and I remember 26 wet weekends in a row). Yes - the insects seem to be pretty good at this. Earlier this year we had floods on the north coast. I spoke to an old bushy and he told me that there were more floods coming as the insects were climbing and building nests high up etc out in the bush. 10 days later we got a second lot of floods. Point lookout near Dorrigo go 144 inches of rain in 7 days! Anybody seeing other non - scientific indications.

I'm sure many of you have already notice, but the weather patterns are taking on a very unusual form (for late November) with a strong high (1033hPa, see http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/national/charts/synoptic.shtml) near 50S to the south of WA, and an attendant cold pool at similar latitudes with core thickness values below 520hPa. At the same time near record warmth has descended on SW WA (37C at Perth Airport yesterday) with a well developed west coast trough, while much of subtropical and tropical parts of the country are cloaked in very humid air with precipitable water values approaching 50mm. Surprisingly, the models are relatively consistent for the next couple of days with a strong early summer cold blast for Tasmania, a near miss for Victoria, and a gradual accumulation of moisture over the continent. An interesting scenario which is being played out by the models by about day four (UK, US, and lesser extent GASP and ECMWF) is that of a developing baroclinic zone (and eventually cyclogenesis) over southern Australia early next week as the large dome of cold air associated with the high currently south of WA spreads across the Australian Bight. Still, with such an unusual set up at present, one cannot discount some surprises and rapid scenario changes.

It is located S of the half-way mark along a line between Gladstone (QLD) and Emerald (QLD). The 23:32 VIS image suggests that this MCS is part of linear forcing along extending S through Tamworth. Further S (unless significant backing of the low-level flow occurs) the moisture depth looks scary. At 2300 UTC, MOR moisture was too shallow and the wind field was weak (despite LI=-6.4); BBN had slightly better moisture with weak winds, BRK had decent moisture with bad winds and bad lapse rates. The compromise might lie in the Roma to Moree region. The latest radar seems to suggest a line of convection (running NNW - SSE) forming W of Roma (2:10 UTC) and down to W of Narrabi (2:50 UTC). Further S the shallow moisture worries me a little, despite the current better reflectivities. The MCS further N is moving NE into good moisture (towards NRK), but bad winds.

It also shows some healthier anvils along a line segment running Narrabri (NSW) N to Roma (QLD). The largest convective mass flux is occuring along the N part of that line segment (derived from VIS), while the strongest radar echoes are within 100 km of Moree (I wonder why :)). Adding surface data to the equation, the N part of the line segment has better moisture to work with (which squares nicely with the bigger anvils in my simple conceptual world). Despite less moisture, the S cells still exceed 50 dBZ (with 55+ dBZ on a cell just W of Narrabri). I imagine these S cells are currently fairly high-based, as suggested by this morning's MOR sounding. Roma has easterly surface flow, enhancing the deep layer shear vector. ENE of Roma the surface moisture looks better, as well.

Dear All,
 
Just before the big Southerly hit Sydney last week, we were walking at Bayview and found a seagull and her very young chick in a nice sheltered place near the walkway wall.  The baby was probably only able to fly a very short distance at a time and was just getting its darker feathers on its wings.  We walk there almost every day and have never seen a seagull with a chick before.
 
Well last night we saw her there again, the baby has grown considerably, and its darker feathers were very much in evidence,  but it was still hoping for food from its mother. 
 
The point is, does this bird know that we are in for some more extreme weather in Sydney.

The UK model has not been available before, to my knowledge, on the web. Thanks to the good folk at Uni of Wyoming, you can now produce do-it-yourself charts for Australia out to 72 hours from the UK model selecting any 4 of 12 parameters at once, including rainfall and lifted index. The same site allows similar plotting of the AVN model. Go to http://weather.uwyo.edu/models/ I also haven't seen mention of the joint NCDC/FSL site at http://raob.fsl.noaa.gov/. Though the Skew-Ts aren't as nice as Wyoming's or the Bureau's, the site makes it easy to get to all Australian soundings from 1998 to current. If you select radiosonde sites by country and a time period from the initial menu, then "Australia" and "Yes" (<--IMPORTANT) on the second menu, you can then select multiple locations on the third menu. This gives you a list of links, one for each station and time, which you can then open in multiple windows and make some nice comparisons by clicking between them.

Std.

Going by the radar overnight, much of this fell from thunderstorms. Barcaldine PO recorded their highest November 24-hour fall in 114 years, with 99.2mm in the gauge -- the old record was 80.3. Quite a few locations in the Qld Central Highlands, Central West and Maranoa, and the NSW NW Slopes and Plains with 24 hour to 9am falls in the 50 to 90mm range. Heavy rain has continued through to 3pm on the NW Slopes, mostly in the Macintyre basin, where Glen Innes recorded 69mm 9 to 3, with most of the flood telemetered raingauges in the catchment showing between 25 and 80mm. The evolving Bureau Web flood warning system is showing its usefulness in situations like this. It's worth a play if you haven't yet tried it. It's at http://www.bom.gov.au/hydro/flood/, but I get rather impatient with the amount of clicking needed to navigate the system, and have constructed my own set of links at http://www.australianweathernews.com/rain_index.html (also accessible from the Australian Weather News front page) which takes a short learning curve to drive, but is then much quicker, particularly in accessing the real time rainfall data. Yesterday's heavy rain in Tasmania has produced minor to moderate flooding in the northeast, and a record November 24-hour fall on Mt Wellington, where the 69mm to 9am yesterday (Saturday) beat the old record of 32.8 in an admittedly short period of 14 years.

Hi all, 2 times daily i recieve a forecast in my email from US based "the weather channel" (www.weather.com)
 
It has been quite accuarate since i have been getting it, perhaps the temps are 1 or 2 degrees off but so was the BoM for today(friday )(forecast 27 and chance of late t'storm)
 
My first one today (9:05am) had this
Today    Partly Cloudy 27°C  11°C 
Sat    Partly Cloudy 24°C  7°C 
Sun    Partly Cloudy 25°C  10°C 
Mon    Partly Cloudy 24°C  9°C 
Tue    Partly Cloudy 24°C  9°C 
NOTE it says partly cloudy for today which it was!!!!! it also had nothing of a late storm today unlike BoM, and there was no storms.
 
My Second One today has this (9:11pm)
Today    Partly Cloudy 26°C  8°C 
Sat    Partly Cloudy 27°C  6°C 
Sun    Partly Cloudy 26°C  12°C 
Mon    Scattered T-Storms 26°C  12°C 
Tue    Scattered T-Storms 26°C  12°C  
 
See thy difference, if this has been accuarate so far im really looking foward to Monday and tuesday. What a difference 12 hours make!!! BTW it got to 29*c here today so they were off 2-3 degrees, BUT the "party cloudy" conditions were correct.
 
*Cheers*
