I am looking at getting a camera which takes high quality video that is easy to transfer onto a PC so that i can make streaming mpegs etc. i will be using the video camera for almost solely weather related video. I have narrowed it down to the two digital formats digital8 and DV. At this stage I favour digital8 beacause these cams have optical zooms of up to around 25X while DV is limited to about 10X. I've heard that DV is easy to transfer to the computer, you can just plug it straight into the computer, while digital8 is a bit harder and you require a capture card. The Sony DCRTRV330 has caught my eye, retails for around $1799, this is a digital8 cam. I will have about $2000 to spend. I would appreciate if i can have some advice on advantages of Digital8 or DV recommend video cameras what capture card is required (huge price range in this area) any other advice.

The flash flooding around Kembla Grange was similar to the 1997 event ( in that area ) , however Mount Kembla was on the margin of the 1997 event. I will have a report up shortly. Interesting to see the Lake about 1ft higher yesterday. Like you I received no significant rain too.

The choice between DV and Digital 8 in my opinion gets down to backward compatibility with you library of 8mm tapes. If you do not have such as legacy the choice in my mind is DV. The bit about the zoom does not make sense to me. Perhaps Sony are putting more options into Digital 8. I am fed up with the two Canon videos I have had. Why ? they both lacked any infinity lock. With the later one I could lock the focus, but as soon as you zoomed it would unlock. Trouble is weather enthusiasts have the camera pointing at the sky, not the best thing for a auto focus to cope with. Sony have a convenient infinity lock. Features to look for. * Infinity lock * Exposure lock. * Still images to seperate card or stick. * Night mode- less grainy night lightning. In my opinion the Sony's have it all over the Canon. I also would look at Panosonic which always rates well. Michael > Hey All > > I am starting to look at video cameras.

Hi all.
Its that time of the year again with the high pressure belt across southern  Aus: showing progressive strengthening over the past few weeks, the next high southwest of  Perth looks to gain further strength overnight infact the BOM has it up to 1036hpa later Tuesday (somebody please help us). On the more positive side though, the long wave trough over WA is persistent and may strengthen on Tuesday, there's a good mid and upper tropical moisture plume extending across WA in the baroclinic zone ahead of the  trough. That area of low level convergence in the north Coral sea seems to lack upper divergent support at the moment and is developing under a broad area of upper northwesterlies. Regards Clyve H.

I still have my Canon uc 4000, the lens is ok but the auto focus drives me nuts, it does not see clouds as infinity and will whirl between close up and infinity and will not settle, it also eats battery power, I only use it as a back up now. My other camcorder is a basic Sony vid 8, the auto focus is good and will focus on cloud, however it has a very sensitive dew detector and I have missed what I would consider very spectacular storm opportunities, on one occasion I actually had to use a hair dryer!! to warm up the video head to avoid completely missing a tornado, that was one occasion I still have nightmares about....regards Clyve Herbert. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Thompson To: Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 10:23 PM Subject: Re: aus-wx: Video Cameras? > > Hi Jimmy > > I must admit that my first Canon ( which was stolen ) was far superior to > the replacement.

In IRC a few of us were discussing the snow events of 1986. It was mentioned that there were report of snow on Mt Cootha around that time (or a few years earlier). There was also reports of snow from the Northern Suburbs of Sydney that year.
 
We were also wondering if Mt Bartle Frere near Babinda in northern QLD has had snow on it? Its 1622m high and i recall that it was mentioned on this list that it may have recieved a dusting or two of snow.
 
Anyone confirm these reports ? Does anyone have any other accounts where snow has been reported in places that are out of the ordinary?

Dating vs Married
 
When you are dating..... Farting is never an issue
When you are married ....You make sure there's nothing flammable near your husband at all times
 
When you are dating..... He takes you out to have a good time
When you are married ....He brings home a 6 pack, and says "What are you going to drink?"
 
When you are dating..... He holds your hand in public
When you are married ....He flicks your ear in public
 
When you are dating..... A Single bed for 2 isn't THAT bad
When you are married ....A King size bed feels like an army cot
 
When you are dating..... You are turned on at the sight of him naked
When you are married ....You think to yourself...."Was he ALWAYS this hairy????"
 
When you are dating..... You enjoyed foreplay
When you are married ....You tell him "If we have sex, will you leave me alone???"
 
When you are dating..... He hugs you, when he walks by you ...for no reason
When you are married ....He grabs your boob any chance he gets
 
When you are dating..... You picture the two of you together, growing old together
When you are married ....You wonder who will die first
 
When you are dating..... Just looking at him makes you feel all "mushy"
When you are married ....When you look at him, you want to claw his eyes out.
 
When you are dating..... He knows what the "hamper" is
When you are married ....The floor will suffice as a dirty clothes storage area
 
When you are dating..... He understands if you "aren't in the mood"
When you are married ....He says "It's your job."
 
When you are dating..... He understands that you have "male" friends
When you are married ....He thinks they are all out to steal you away
 
When you are dating..... He likes to "discuss" things
When you are married ....He develops a "blank" stare
 
When you are dating..... He calls you by name
When you are married ....He calls you "Hey" and refers to you when speaking to others as "She."

I think the best snowfall i can remeber for Qld was July 1984. Stanthorpe on the Granite Belt had  4-6 inches in the town and surrounding such as Eukey snow was reported to be 2 feet deep in areas. My source here is the "Border Post". I have a lift out on the snowfall...b/w of course but it looks heavy...... i wish 84 would return oneday.
 
Good Goast Bulletin July 1984... first snow falls for 18 years.... Regions heaviest snow falls were on the ridges near Uki, small town near Murwillumba... where 15cm were recorded .... At 3pm it was 5C at Springbrook after a low of -4C.  There is a video of this snowfall at Springbrook.. i will have to see it again. On the 27th July 2000... there was a brief snowfall at Springbrook..... It has some pretty mean frosts in winter...check out the photos under Tallai Weather on:
 
Toowoomba had it first snowfall since July 19th 1960.
Chronicle July 4th 1984... last night falls followed intermittent snow/sleet showers... Temperature at 3pm was 3C. This interesting here.... "Chronicle's Lockyer valley corresondent reported a brief snowfall at Thornton at 2pm". I am not sure of the elevation .....
 
Courier Mail July 4th 1984.
"Snowfalls up to 3cm deep were reported from central Qld well into NSW and west of the border. Hail and sleet feel in many towns and a dozen Brisbane suburbs....Highest snowfall report came from Bellthorpe west of Maleny... were 3cm was recorded.
 
Herberton on the Atherton Tableland had a min of -3C. So Qld highest peak Bartle Frere at 1622m. Herberton elevation is around 800-900 metres. So i think snow would've been possible at Bartle Frere. And also down near Mackay..... Euguenia ?? National Park... highest peak there is 1250metres.
 
cheers

I believe the farthest north that snow has been reported in Queensland (and Australia) is the Clarke Range, which runs from southwest to northwest of Mackay at about 21S and about 300km north of the Tropic of Capricorn. The date was 19 July 1965, when snow fell over much of the area from the Bunya Mountains in the east and beyond the Maranoa River in the west, northwards to the upper Warrego catchment NE of Charleville and across to within 60km of the coast in the Eungella National Park west of Mackay. It was the most widespread fall in Queensland history, with snow falling for the only recorded time to date at many locations. The same event gave much of eastern NSW heavy snow, also for the only recorded time in some locations. The snowfall at Eungella occurred just on dusk in the Dalrymple Heights area, around 700 metres a.s.l. and didn't settle. The heaviest falls were in an area from Chinchilla, Surat and Mungallala in the south to Wondoan and Injune in the north where snow fell for up to 3 hours between sunrise and noon. Snowflakes 2cm in diameter were seen in Surat, and drifts to 5cm were reported out of the town. In Roma, snow fell for half an hour just before midday with a temperature of 2 degrees, settling briefly on the ground in town but lying for around an hour in the nearby country. Northwards at Injune, snow lay down to 700m, persisting for a day in sheltered places. Farther northwest, snow fell for up to an hour in the Drummond Range just south of the Tropic of Capricorn, from Bogantungan west to Alpha and Jericho and southwest almost to Tambo. Information for the above is from Bureau Notes on the Weather and weather reviews, press research by Don White and my own data collection. I have seen a report of snow falling in the Cloncurry area early this century, though melting on reaching the ground. I don't have a date or any other information. Cloncurry is at 20.7S, so if verified this would have to be a contender for farthest north snow, though with an altitude of 200m it sounds dubious. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Norman. =================================================================== Norman Lynagh Weather Consultancy Chalfont St. Giles Buckinghamshire E-mail:norman at weather-consultancy.com England =================================================================== +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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------------------------------ X-Mailer: MIME-tools 5.411 (Entity 5.404) From: Rhett Blanch To: "aussie-weather at world . std . com" Date: Tue, 02 Apr 2002 17:52:59 +1000 Subject: Re: aus-wx: Snowfalls in NSW-QLD Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi Dann, Yes July 1984 was pretty amazing. I can remember lots of kids being late to school as their parents took them up to the Tamworth lookout to play in the snow. I seem to recall that it was a complete nightmare for the police trying to deal with the crowd up there (most of whom had never driven in snow before). I have some pics from this day of the snow south of Manilla NSW (45 km North of Tamworth) at an elevation of around 400m. My great aunt who took them is now in her 80's and has lived in the same location for almost her entire life, this is the only time that she can recall that snow falls have taken place at this location. http://www.wilgatree.com/reports/19840704snow_manilla.htm Rhett > dann weatherhead wrote: > > FROM SAM MCDONALD:: > __ > > I think the best snowfall i can remeber for Qld was July 1984. > Stanthorpe on the Granite Belt had 4-6 inches in the town and > surrounding such as Eukey snow was reported to be 2 feet deep in > areas.

In my experience wet hail and sleet look very similar and sometimes only the experienced eye can tell them apart.
Yet they are two totally different weather phenomena. Sleet (wet snow) requires much colder atmospheric conditions
than wet hail. I just mention this because I suspect reports of sleet in warm climat cities like Brisbane were actually
hail rather than snow.

Good to see one of us down here was on the spot. I didn't put too much effort into having a look around as the rainfall here at Blackbutt was so light, but enjoyed the distant rumbling at any rate. Great on the spot piccies.

Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 14:06:57 +1000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook CWS, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0) Importance: Normal Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi David, That sort of thunder is very common in SEQ and the tropics, it is the sound of what we call an "Anvil crawler", which are spectacular if visible at night time as they seem to creep across the sky sometimes from horizon to horizon, if you are positioned under the Anvil outflow of a large enough storm. Sometimes the source stroke can be a CG up to 50km away. An Anvil crawler is not a single stroke but a chain of short strokes with many parallel and diverging paths. Charge displacement by each stroke triggers the next series discharges in the chain - but all this happens so quickly you just see a flowing discharge move across the sky. Anvil crawlers are also usually high up (being in the Anvil), 5km to 10km or more, thus the thunder may be quite faint and well delayed after the flash - also the sound appears to travel very much more slowly than the source lightning due to the much slower speed of sound propagation. Regards, John. >snip Hi David, I was out at Lilydale Airport during the storms in question and while we don't have a rain gauge there, we did get quite a considerable downpour at around 7:15pm.

As the most intense part of the line of storms hit the Yarra Valley an intense cell developed NE of Wallan near Flowerdale and tracked SE over Healsville and Warburton with large areas of 100mm/h+ on the BoM radar (it may've had a slight deviation to the left of the steering flow although after reviewing the radar of the event it seems as though rapid backbuilding to the N saw this cell propogate in that direction and hence giving the impression that it moved somewhat left). This cell persisted strongly across the ranges but was not red on radar (this was possibly due to it being over 120km from both Melbourne and Sale radars). As the cell came closer to the Sale radar the LARGE area of red (100mm/h+) returned and eventually passed over Traralgon (giving 1.2cm hail at one location in Traralgon) and it continued out to sea between Woodside and Seaspray (still red) where this cell eventually dissipated. I watched the lightning from this cell as it passed over the area near Warburton from a lookout in Banyule and at the time it was producing about 1 flash per second with 2-3 flashes per second for short periods of time. I know the Severe Weather people at the BoM were keeping a close eye on this cell and would be interested to hear their comments at to its height and any other reports which they may've recieved from Healsville, Traralgon or any other township that may've been in the path of this cell. It could be mildly speculated that this cell could fall into the category of a supercell as I have very rarely seen a storm maintain this intensity and size in Victoria, and in such atmospheric conditions (rapid destabilization was taking place in the middle and upper layers and along with the shear which was probably adequate for rotating storms) without it being labelled and/or confirmed as a supercell. I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts. Anyway - I visited Healsville Sanctuary on Monday and it was clear that they'd had significant rainfall in a short period of time given the water ruts in the pathways. I didn't manage to speak to any of the staff members but I have other contacts in Healsville which I will eventually get around to talking to about this particular storm. Incidentally, that area around Healsville scored 4 cells that evening/night which were either pink or red on radar. Some of the catchment areas would have to have received close to 100mm of rain in that 24hr period.

Dear all
 
I am new to contributing to your forum and probably a bit basic in my description of a likely tornado event in South Eastern Australia, the evidence of which I have recently seen. Basically, I was driving to the town of Batemans Bay in Southern NSW from my home in Canberra on the 30 of March 02 and whilst driving on the King's highway to the coast and about 5 kilometres east from Braidwood, towards the top of a small ridge (dividing cleared fields from forest) to the immediate North of the highway, I saw significant damage to a number of large gum trees, some of which had been snapped in half and most had lost large branches. This pattern of damage seemed to occur in a narrow path (.25 km or less) and upon further viewing, I noticed that this swathe of destruction extended into the nearby forest area on the south of the highway as well (probably a km or so further along the road). The destruction was again in a narrow, clearly defined path through the forest. Also, further along and directly alongside the highway (probably between another 5-10 km) I identified another area of significant tree damage. From the obviously recent nature of both damage events, I would guess that this was the same tornado event proceeding roughly in a north west/south east axis. Later on that same day, I visited some friends in Long Beach (near Batemans Bay) who mentioned that a severe storm had hit their area late on the afternoon of the 27th March and which originated from the West (basically the same direction where the tornado damage occurred). They were concerned about damage from falling trees (none did), as the winds were quite severe for the area. I was wondering if a member of your group had known about this event from other sources and if so could they let me know with any further information.

I once heard that during the snowfall of 1984, Quirindi also had snow settled on the ground. Graziers out that way had lost sheep because of the extreme cold. I had also heard that snow had actually settled on the ground at Loomberah just outside of Tamworth. Do you know whether this was so?

Hi Dann,
Yes July 1984 was pretty amazing. I can remember lots of kids being late to
school as their parents took them up to the Tamworth lookout to play in the snow.
I seem to recall that it was a complete nightmare for the police trying to deal with
the crowd up there (most of whom had never driven in snow before).

I have some pics from this day of the snow south of Manilla NSW (45 km North of
Tamworth) at an elevation of around 400m. My great aunt who took them is now
in her 80's and has lived in the same location for almost her entire life, this is the
only time that she can recall that snow falls have taken place at this location.

I think the best snowfall i can remeber for Qld was July 1984.
Stanthorpe on the Granite Belt had 4-6 inches in the town and
surrounding such as Eukey snow was reported to be 2 feet deep in
areas. My source here is the "Border Post". I have a lift out on the
snowfall...b/w of course but it looks heavy...... i wish 84 would
return oneday.

Good Goast Bulletin July 1984... first snow falls for 18 years....
Regions heaviest snow falls were on the ridges near Uki, small town
near Murwillumba... where 15cm were recorded .... At 3pm it was 5C at
Springbrook after a low of -4C. There is a video of this snowfall at
Springbrook.. i will have to see it again. On the 27th July 2000...
there was a brief snowfall at Springbrook..... It has some pretty
mean frosts in winter...check out the photos under Tallai Weather on:
http://www.geocities.com/ratman6900/index.html

Toowoomba had it first snowfall since July 19th 1960.
Chronicle July 4th 1984... last night falls followed intermittent
snow/sleet showers... Temperature at 3pm was 3C. This interesting
here.... "Chronicle's Lockyer valley corresondent reported a brief
snowfall at Thornton at 2pm". I am not sure of the elevation .....

Courier Mail July 4th 1984.
"Snowfalls up to 3cm deep were reported from central Qld well into
NSW and west of the border. Hail and sleet feel in many towns and a
dozen Brisbane suburbs....Highest snowfall report came from
Bellthorpe west of Maleny... were 3cm was recorded.

Herberton on the Atherton Tableland had a min of -3C. So Qld highest
peak Bartle Frere at 1622m. Herberton elevation is around 800-900
me tres. So i think snow would've been possible at Bartle Frere. And
also down near Mackay..... Euguenia ?? National Park... highest peak
there is 1250metres.

cheers

Initiation should be along the ranges but I am expecting some severe thunderstorms based on the wind shear profile and a reasonable cap compared to surface heating. Dew points are not that impressive but it's obvious that some moisture is being fed inland with the change. I am ready to go. Temps in the mid levels from 700mb to 500mb show some pretty good lapse rates.

Hi Gregg

Which way(s) were the damaged trees scattered?  If the fallen branches/snapped off trunks fell in all directions, then it was more likely tornadic damage.  If the debris fell in the same direction then the damage was more likely straight line wind damage.

Michael

As far as Quirindi goes I'm not sure. Significant snow did certainly settle on the Melville Range*, you could see if from Tamworth for 3-4 days afterwards on Mount Soma (about 1100m) and Duri Peak (about 950m). *The Melville range is the line of mountains that run North-South on the opposite side of the Peel Valley to Tamworth. This range runs down past Quirindi towards the Liverpool range and out towards Gunnedah.

I am very interested to know this also. the most recent storm we had here was on the 26th of march, and it was a Moderate gustfron and i dont think it reached as far east as that... Perhaps it was from another storm that Built up over the area a few weeks ago?

The timing of the change is crucial and the setup of warmer air being separated by the cooler air near the ranges is an important factor in allowing more ideal breeding grounds for severe thunderstorms. The storms did develop late this afternoon and I intercepted it around Castlereagh. Some good lightning bolts of which I got one on camera but some nice "booms" on audio. The storm that I saw showed some form of organisation but it entered a region of no mans land north of Richmond so I called it quits. It was also showing signs of propagating NW due to the SE lower component. Some heavy rain with this lot anyway.

It was northeast of here, I'd say just west of Hornsby. It looked massive, but all glaciated..couldn't see too much because of trees and the low cumulus coming in on the southeaster. On the radar minutes later it was well and truly dissipating. An hour earlier I'd been watching it in the office and it was going severe then..I wondered 'would Seven Hills get a five-o-clock special'? No, a princely 1.6mm. Had this front lagged back ie raced up the coastal strip quicker than the inland/mountain areas, things might well have been different but it looked pretty weak on the 10am synoptic..a bit surprising we got anything really. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jimmy Deguara" To: Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 6:06 PM Subject: Re: aus-wx: Storms 4th April > Hi Keith, > > You are correct.

Most of this range is between 500 and 900 metres. Anyone else know of this or where exactly? Would it have been the 1965 event?

I have checked my Obs at Gilmore and note on the 25th  that I observed isloated Cb  to South and Southeast  with severe T storm(very heavy rain) at Cooma reported and I noted that this cell moved northeast towards the coast on BoM Radar .
On the 26th we heard Thunder with a shower  but not enough to record in raingauge.That event would have moved northeast and away from the area of interest. The only other event last month was on the 7th ; Isolated Cb tops  from Southeast to Northeast moving Northeast. With the exception of the  26th each of these Cb would have been in the area mentioned but I suspect it was the 25th that might have caused the damage.
I await more info. Also do send to Clem Davis at the BoM Canberra .He might also be able to cast some light on this event.

I am very interested to know this also. the most recent storm we had here was on the 26th of march, and it was a Moderate gustfron and i dont think it reached as far east as that... Perhaps it was from another storm that Built up over the area a few weeks ago?

Hi Gregg

Which way(s) were the damaged trees scattered?  If the fallen branches/snapped off trunks fell in all directions, then it was more likely tornadic damage.  If the debris fell in the same direction then the damage was more likely straight line wind damage.

Regards

Michael

>Dear all
>
>I am new to contributing to your forum and probably a bit basic in my description of a likely tornado event in South Eastern Australia, the evidence of which I have recently seen. Basically, I was driving to the town of Batemans Bay in Southern NSW from my home in Canberra on the 30 of March 02 and whilst driving on the King's highway to the coast and about 5 kilometres east from Braidwood, towards the top of a small ridge (dividing cleared fields from forest) to the immediate North of the highway, I saw significant damage to a number of large gum trees, some of which had been snapped in half and most had lost large branches. This pattern of damage seemed to occur in a narrow path (.25 km or less) and upon further viewing, I noticed that this swathe of destruction extended into the nearby forest area on the south of the highway as well (probably a km or so further along the road). The destruction was again in a narrow, clearly defined path through the forest. Al! ! so, further along and directly alongside the highway (probably between another 5-10 km) I identified another area of significant tree damage. From the obviously recent nature of both damage events, I would guess that this was the same tornado event proceeding roughly in a north west/south east axis. Later on that same day, I visited some friends in Long Beach (near Batemans Bay) who mentioned that a severe storm had hit their area late on the afternoon of the 27th March and which originated from the West (basically the same direction where the tornado damage occurred). They were concerned about damage from falling trees (none did), as the winds were quite severe for the area. I was wondering if a member of your group had known about this event from other sources and if so could they let me know with any further information.

I read somewhere in the Guinness Book of Weather Facts (or similar title) of snow falling in Mackay July 1965! Surely a sea-level fall in that area would be meteorologically impossible, outside of the Ice Age. The writers must have made an error in confusing the town/city with nearby mountains. BTW, the icy southerly storm over NZ has moved off, but high seas have continued to pound the east coast. Great for hard-core surfers, but causing problems for many others. Cook Strait ferries have been delayed, debris washing up onto roads near Kaikoura (and even seals using the roads to escape from the seas battering their rocks!), and properties damaged south of Napier. A King Tide has been a major contributing factor to this damage, as the storm has moved off a long way, and winds had virtually died away by yesterday.

Scientists have confirmed today that El Nino phase is coming in. I don't mind El nino winters in NZ
as they bring interesting weather with lots of snow, but the summers tend to be crappy.

Hi steven,
I was reading a new letter earlier on this week and the experts predicted the El nino effect to happen this year....They said that this event only happens every 5 years and the last was in 1997...
So I guess we can only see what happens.

Bussy, i think coastal Vic will get more rain in an El nino. Melbourne would get the same weather as Auckland.
Blustery W with showers. East coast cities would get hot and dry spring/summer with bushfires.

Scientists have confirmed today that El Nino phase is coming in. I don't mind El nino winters in NZ
as they bring interesting weather with lots of snow, but the summers tend to be crappy.

The dying-off of the trade winds hasn't occurred yet (to my knowledge) although the SSTs have definetely shown an EN tendency. Those regions of Australia that get their rainfall predominantly from the eastern quadrant tend to be drier but the correlation (statistically) is not certain. I don't like El Nino years for the previously mentioned dominance of higher than average latitiudinal anticyclones in winter...however since mid-latitudes tend to get their rainfall mostly zonally it's a big call to say either drier or wetter during winter....

Effects vary from area to area, as does the reliability of the probability. If you want detail, buy a copy of Australian Rainman, details of which you will find on the Longpaddock site. And yep, it's been dry here in Proserpine this year - only one burst of the monsoon.

The fall was clearly seen from the township, about one-and-a-half miles away.

More snow is forecast above 800m in the south island tomorrow with coastal hail/thunder.
The cold changes seem to be a month early this year. Today the weather in Auckland was

I can remember seeing snow on the ground from near Bowral right through to near Yass with snow on the hills as far west as Galong (near Harden) In some places around the Divide it must have been about a metre deep.It made quite an impression on me as I gather such widespread falls are unusual. Any other memories of this event?

SPAM on other lists I am on has been getting through at times, including one I did happen look at offering a list SPAMing software package that automatically subscribes to any list (or every list) in a huge database and also keeps changing the senders address by automatically opening new accounts on various servers to confound manual unsubbing! Personally, I think most people are turned off by SPAM so do not see the point in anyone reputable doing it as it would damage ones market reputation in any case. Anyway....back to the weather...

The formula works something like outdoor temperature - dew point and multiply by 400 will give you the approx. cloud base in feet. Sorry I can't account for the other 10 feet at Krambach maybe it is feet above sea level. Maybe the weather station incorporates some refined calculation.

No thunder with hail in Christchurch today as forecasted by MetService which was a bit of a shame for us in the NZTS who were anticipating a bit of a storm. A Dead Cb passed over about 1pm with a bit of rain but any activity mostly out to sea, then mostly fine and calm. No 'rodents' in the southerly flow to give us thunder 'bits' like last weekend's southerly but I had some reports of some activity off Banks Peninsula but nowt to write home about!!! No. I thought this would be bugger all. The borometer going up now with nothing happening. Blame global warming !! An intense anticyclone which lurks near Tasmania is heading into the Tasman Sea and New Zealand to cover us for most of next week and into next weekend hence pushing any interesting activity away.

There was widespread snow on the Southern Tablelands 9 to 12 August 1964, but I think the falls on 7 August 1965 were heavier and more widespread, and more likely to have produced perhaps a metre of snow. The NSW Monthly Weather Review says of the 7/8/65 event: "Extensive snowfalls were reported along the Southern Tablelands, Southwest Slopes and Central Tablelands. Canberra had what is believed to be the heaviest fall on record, causing many road accidents, blockage of access roads to the City, many blackouts and closure of the aerodrome." And, of course, that came only 3 weeks after what was probably the best NSW snow event of the second half of the century (17 to 19/7/65) when snow fell the length of the divide, two feet of snow blocked the railway across the Blue Mountains, snow fell in Sydney suburbs and to low levels near the coast in the Hunter and Illawarra.

Hi everyone,

Well so far it has been bit of nice weather with very cloudy during the day with mostly ac/as but there were embedded cu/cb in it. We had mostly light fall with thunderstorms occured in Adelaide. I saw 2 lightning and heard few soft thunder. It was high base though as it was embedded in ac/as.

There are some images I took today:

The formula works something like outdoor temperature - dew point and multiply by 400 will give you the approx. cloud base in feet. Sorry I can't account for the other 10 feet at Krambach maybe it is feet above sea level. Maybe the weather station incorporates some refined calculation.

Hello all.
Some nice altocu over Vic: this morning showing some instability in the Mid levels between 12,000 and 18,000ft, although stretching a wish forecast this mid layer may have some limited potential for enhanced development later today. The top end looks ok for storms with a good moisture loading just to the north of the NT. regards Clyve Herbert.

The formula works something like outdoor temperature - dew point and multiply by 400 will give you the approx. cloud base in feet. Sorry I can't account for the other 10 feet at Krambach maybe it is feet above sea level. Maybe the weather station incorporates some refined calculation.

Thanks for posting this message.
 
I had the opportunity to have a look at the damage referred to yesterday. The damage is certainly quite significant (including several trees uprooted with trunks in excess of 1metre in diameter) and seems to have occurred across a relatively narrow path which could be consistent with a tornado.
 
However, having looked at the debris over the two major areas indicated in your email, I have come to the view that the damage was not tornadic but rather from straight line winds. The reason for my view is that the direction of tree fall and debris fall from trees that survived is all in the direction of ESE - suggesting that the wind came from the WNW. This is the situation across the entirety of the damage region that I saw. I did not see any evidence of debris falling in any other direction.
 
Still it must have been some storm and there are a group of houses about 100m to the south of the highway that are only 30m from some of the biggest trees that were uprooted. They apparently survived unscathed and I would say are very lucky.
 
I have uploaded a number of images of the damage (apologies for the poor quality - I am just coming to terms with a new video camera). They are all taken looking north (ie west is to the left, east is to the right).
 
The images are below:

Subject: aus-wx: probable tornado event

Dear all
 
I am new to contributing to your forum and probably a bit basic in my description of a likely tornado event in South Eastern Australia, the evidence of which I have recently seen. Basically, I was driving to the town of Batemans Bay in Southern NSW from my home in Canberra on the 30 of March 02 and whilst driving on the King's highway to the coast and about 5 kilometres east from Braidwood, towards the top of a small ridge (dividing cleared fields from forest) to the immediate North of the highway, I saw significant damage to a number of large gum trees, some of which had been snapped in half and most had lost large branches. This pattern of damage seemed to occur in a narrow path (.25 km or less) and upon further viewing, I noticed that this swathe of destruction extended into the nearby forest area on the south of the highway as well (probably a km or so further along the road). The destruction was again in a narrow, clearly defined path through the forest. Also, further along and directly alongside the highway (probably between another 5-10 km) I identified another area of significant tree damage. From the obviously recent nature of both damage events, I would guess that this was the same tornado event proceeding roughly in a north west/south east axis. Later on that same day, I visited some friends in Long Beach (near Batemans Bay) who mentioned that a severe storm had hit their area late on the afternoon of the 27th March and which originated from the West (basically the same direction where the tornado damage occurred). They were concerned about damage from falling trees (none did), as the winds were quite severe for the area. I was wondering if a member of your group had known about this event from other sources and if so could they let me know with any further information.

Hi all.
I would like to announce that here in Leopold today I did not see a single cloud!...it does not happen often, otherwise, is this the final fling of the tail end of the north Australian monsoon?, some good moisture and storms over the north of Australia over the past couple of days and an interesting squall line moving southwest across the Timor Sea. The trough through SA is looking a little better too, may be some hope for us Victorians on Wednesday. regards Clyve H.

Hi all
i had the pleasent surprise this afternoon to photograph a small isolated Cb at sunset, some great colouring to it and i saw 1 Cg drop in the rain foot.
 
it moved over centeral Canberra and intentsifed a bit to start a nice little light show. i will have pics up this week, if not tomorrow night.
 
The 10th also looks good for thunderstorm activity, with Cape reaching upto 1000, Li's of -3 and sufficient wind shear over the region i am getting the camera ready and id suggest and Canberrians reading this might want to kepp an eye on the sky!!!

Evening all.
The convective area west of Darwin has shown a marked increase in upper divergence over the past six hours although low level convergence is patchy worth watching over the next 12 hours or so. TC Diane is looking very nice west of Aus, the outflow has improved and heading for WA looks to be approaching cat 3+. regards Clyve H.

Hi all.
The trough approaching Victoria tonight has undergone some amplification over the last 3 hours, seems to be some weak vorticity near to the southeast of SA, there is a small but enhanced baroclinic area over the northwest of Victoria ahead of the trough which is starting to get electrically active, mid level moisture over southeast Aus is improving. The moisture plume can be connected to the tropical disturbance west of Darwin. regards Clyve H.

I was woken up by the sound of rumbling thunder, looked outside and to my dissapointment, t'was a rain band with thunder, loaded up the radar and trackers and that proved it. It came a little earlier than i expected and i only heard the rumble of thunder twice, Haven't had any rain yet but radar shows it through the centeral parts
 
Anyways, give me a chance to get photos from last night developed and to buy my new scanner!!

This line (as you no doubt know) gave those of us in the Dandenongs a great light show yesterday evening. I kept on getting told off walking the dogs last night by the wife for looking towards the sky rather than ahead - we don't generally have street lights so we walk with head lamps, and if you don't look ahead you walk in the dark! BTW looking over the next few days, things should be anything but boring in the SE despite rather high surface pressures. All models I have seen suggest Friday through Sunday should see very moist low and mid levels over SE parts and a rather convectively unstable air mass (ToT Tot near 50). I'm not expecting a deluge, but we should see the first reasonably widespread patchy rain/shower/storm event for a long time.... which might mark the beginning of the end of our recent dry settled spell. One thing to catch my eye is the amplification which some models show in the (approaching) mid level trough during the weekend, almost through the centre of the underlying surface high. This type of development preceded the major low which we had April last year... and if it were to occur would likely result in a significant rain event over parts of Victoria/NSW and possibly Queensland... one to watch.

Good lightning as David mentioned while the trough loitered around the area - those cells weren't moving particularly fast as I managed to intercept one of them from 35kms away, and that included spending 30 minutes in a traffic jam in the middle of nowhere being forced to watch cgs less that 10kms away.....one of the few traffic jams I haven't minds An interesting patch of cloud developed over South Australia early last night in the moist infeed from the TCs .......there are increased signs of vorticity in the area...next few days look interesting!!

Hi all.
Its interesting to see the location of TC Bonnie moving towards the island of Sumba southwest of Timor not too many tropical cyclones move through this area, so far this TC has maintained a westerly track at about 10 south and is starting to look impressive.  Meanwhile former TC Diane is spreading itself across WA and feeding into the rather broad long wave trough. This long wave trough extends northwest to about 15 south, west of Christmas I, at the moment TC Bonnie is north of the 300hpa ridge but this ridge seems to weaken further west, it will be interesting to see if Bonnie is drawn into the upper northwest flow ahead of this long wave trough over the next two days or is blocked by the upper ridge if this TC remains at low latitude. The next several days are looking good for southeast Aus with plenty of moisture and colder upper layers. regards Clyve H.

The previous day the BoM went for storms on the ranges (i think) yet it was far far too dry for anything of significance. Overnight, an upper trough waffled across the state producing some unexpected patchy rain (moderate at times from what i've heard). As this upper trough (and associated upper mositure) cleared off to the E, it left a much more mosit PBL. This was *extremely* well evidenced by the bank of fog which rolled in from the W (noting that I was at Tullamarine to the N of Melb) at about 9am and lasted for about 30 mins. (I was in clear blue sky at 8:30am and thick fog enveloped the area at 9am - nice to see on a warm day with storms forecast.) As for Harald's comment re: the sfc wind fields I'd be interested to see the YMML sounding for yesterday. When the fog moved through it was clear that it was moving quite rapidly. I'd estimate in the vicinity of 20knts - and this was not all that far above the sfc. Going totally by visual obs, i'd say that shear was OK yesterday from sfc to say 18,000ft. Above that it must've been quite weak but was probably enough to see that storm N of Melb go severe for a short while (it persited for about an hour or so). Also interesting to note (going by visual obs) was the warming above about 22000ft. Strong crisp updrafts were visible up to that level but above that it was clear that the updrafts weakened somewhat. BTW - Could someone please convert the 60dBz to mm/hr for those of us who aren't quite up to scratch in those conversions. Actually - while you are at it, it'd be interesting to see what 100mm/hr is in dBz. - thanks in advance - Anyway - I'm looking forward to the coming few days - should be interesting to watch tomorrow's development and also the potential rain event over the weekend. Enjoy.

After such a great dynamic season, it seems that we have had to contend with much weaker upper level conditions for a change. There was however, just some upper level support left with storms today. This afternoon, I got again a little slack and did not sneak out until 2:45pm. Got into the car park and wow!!!!! A hard anvil backshearing over the ranges - evidence of a strong updraught (would not be surprised if hail was reported due to the ideal moisture profile aloft). I made a quick attempt to get under the shadow for some better contrast and was able to on the way to Richmond. It then weakened on the southern side but there were hard knuckles on the northern side ummm in no man's land. I went home. A small line of cu popped up near Schofields (4pm) and it was a classic example of convergence of the sea breeze moving inland. These towers collapsed though - shame as they would have been easy to chase. I noticed that the storms on the ranges were still going through multicellular activity and I saw a bolt during the evening to the N!!! Next few days will have Darwin like up down activity so one had to be in or near the mtns to enjoy activity. See how it all unfolds. ----------------------------------------- Jimmy Deguara Storm Chaser and Mathematics Teacher from Schofields, Sydney NSW Australia e-mail:jdeguara at ihug.com.au Web Page with Michael Bath Australian Severe Weather Home Page http://www.australiasevereweather.com President of the Australian Severe Weather Association http://www.severeweather.asn.au +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "Simon Angell" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: Canberra cell today (11 April) Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 04:20:40 +1000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 11 Apr 2002 18:21:27.0229 (UTC) FILETIME=[B1C25ED0:01C1E185] Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi Patrick, I was under that cell at 3:30ish this afternoon, i wasnt taking any pics cause i was working (Kippax Woolies), There was 10 or so minutes of rather heavy rain before it cleared, on the way to work it look very impressive, just because of how isolated it was.

Today I was hoping for at least a little storm if not a decent rain cos we badly need it. By 3pm some cbs seemed to be forming just east of Hamilton while on radar some showers were developing NE of Naracoorte. I observed these showers to the NW from home as it neared. It looked rather black and menacing, although at first I thought it was only going to be rain, but the radio was picking up static and as it went about 10kms north of here I started hearing thunder so i packed up and went chasing! As I neared Hamilton I could see Cg's pumping out in several places. Between Hamilton and Dunkeld it started pissing down, forcing the cars to slow down to about 30km/h. Within minutes the highway was awash, I could not see the car in front of me, and lightning was going off every second. (of which 90% were Cgs) I struggled to find a place safe to pull off and there wasnt much I could do anyway if I did. Photos were useless - I really need to get a video camera!!! So I parked the car when I got to Dunkeld, spoke to Jono and Jane O'Neill about the storm. Suggested to Jane that there should be a STA for the western district so she rang up the BOM. Had to wait another 15 minutes before the storm passed as it was moving very slowly - hence the large rainfall for Hamilton. I would suggest that Dunkeld should have considerably more than the 20mm that Hamilton recieved. The roads were awash everywhere and flash flooding of drains, creeks, roadsides, etc were prevalent. I headed back home as I was stuffed after not getting too much sleep last night waiting for storms! Otherwise I would've followed it down to Mortlake area. Anyway, a very satisfactory chase, even though the photos will not be great. (I'll have them online soon). I can say I havent seen that much lightning for a long time!! Unfortunatley we haven't recieved any rain here at home, so we desperately need some this weekend. Tim Eckert.

Hi all.
TC Bonnie is looking interesting this morning with a very prominent clear (subsiding) arc around its western periphery, TC Bonnie is now showing a strong burst of convection near to the centre, this system is still trapped north of the mid and upper level ridge and is still preferring a westward track, there has also been an intensification of convection west of Thursday island and northeast of Nhulunbuy NT worth keeping an occasional check on this area although upper divergence is limited. regards Clyve H.

Hi!
 
At the NSW ASWA meeting last night, we stumbled accross this rather droolworthy vis satpic animation of this event.
 
 
This link is 3.7mb but its well and truly worth the download.
 
Further info and radar loops can be found here.
 
 
I will let those with more knowledge and better explaination powers delve into the "how and why" of this remarkable day.

Hi all,

 

Just a quick message.

Does any one know where I’m able to purchase an Anemometer that is reasonable price and can withstand gale force winds?

Thanks

Jason

Hi all.
Nice to see some good looking altocu around this morning (central Victoria) showing some rather good mid level moisture and associated mid level instability, good set up, just a shame about the time of the year with rather limited surface heating, looks as if this mid and upper level instability may hang around for several days especially in a line east of Mildura to Cape Otway. The barometer tappers will be scratching their heads to see rain with barometers up to about 1026hpa across southern Vic today. TC Bonnie is just hanging on to its existence after falling apart last night upper outflow has increased a little this morning as this system starts to get itself under the influence of the approaching upper long wave trough this may steer the remnants southward over the next 12 hours. regards Clyve H.

And you are correct, we are not going to rename 6000+photos and other videos stills etc. :)) And I think it would be silly to start a new standard on their site unless you follow it through the whole site. A good idea is to have a naming standard message as we do on the bottom of the documents. But that is up to others as to what they do.

Hi all.
Not a bad looking cold pool over central NSW and an upper cold trough extending into Vic Mel -18 at 500hpa and -47 at 300hpa, looks as if much of eastern Aus will remain moist and unstable over the next several days, also the Gulf of Carpentaria region remains convectively positive this area has some potential over the next 24 hours. regards Clyve Herbert.

I have always been curious about the reasons for the genesis of different shaped tornadoes (sp?) from rope/trunk ones to large wedge shaped funnels.

Sitting in the bath recently, I noticed how when the water goes down the plug, the vortex starts thin and gradually thickens as the water level goes down.

Although the parallel/analogy of the spinning water in the bath and the appearance of a tornado is appealing, it obscures the differences between the two systems.  It was, however, the sight of the changing thickness of the bath vortex that made me re-focus on the question of why some tornados are thick and others are much thinner.

From what I can gather thin ones are generally not as strong as thick funnels.  Would I be correct in saying that roping thin ones also seem to come from a cloud base that is higher than the thick tornados or is this perhaps an illusion, caused by their greater breadth?

After a completely boring, cool, wet summer, I’m faced with an autumn which is producing endless days of warm, stable, dry and almost windless days. Of course, many are enjoying this “Indian Summer”, especially the people who have taken their holidays now. But, for a weather freak there’s nothing to get excited about. Actually, stratocumulus is boring, stratocumulus which covers 90% of the sky, is dull and stratocumulus associated with drizzle is dam depressing! Anyways, I had to get that off my chest!

Australia is one of the worlds finest examples of capitalism, hence is there's a buck to be made........
Sustainable forestry is a big issue in NZ. 
Clearing vegetation would have a small impact on the weather. It would change temperature dynamics.

Hehe, well, I have an annual doldrums brought on by the onset of the cooler weather, and the best way to solve that problem is to give yourself something to look forward to. I started the "winter building programme" as my way to look forward to winter. Started building my TV transmitter, but trouble is a major project came along early in my season, which put my TV plans back. Hope to get partly back on track this winter. :-) >Well done - Tony. Thinking of something to do is important. I wonder if there's some SDS preventative projects that one could dream up, such as maybe building some weather station bits (hmm, what can be done on the cheap?). A WX satellite receiver for the adventurous (must look up some suitable circuits myself, got the software, but not the receiver - and the WX sats look shite on my gear, as it's not made for that type of signal. :-( )... Or perhaps organising events, getting together (beyond the monthly ASWA meetings), if that's more your area of expertise. Or even educating those of us with less meteorological experience about some of the terminology used and the dynamics of the atmosphere... I, for one, would like to further my knowledge of meteorology - something I've wanted to do since I was a kid. I've picked up a bit more by being on the list, but there's still a lot to learn. :-) And then there's websites and the like... My conclusion: SDS (and related deprivation syndromes - we hams have our own to deal with!) can be a bitch, but they can be managed with a bit of creative activity planning. :-) 73 de Tony, VK3JED http://vk3jed.vk.irlp.net From: "Michael Thompson" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: I'm not Archimedes, but Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2002 19:55:31 +1000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 16 Apr 2002 09:48:05.0160 (UTC) FILETIME=[CE5C6280:01C1E52B] Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com
It is a great discussion point. One thing to remember is the dewpoint and amount condensation also play a part as to how ' visible ' tornadoes are. Some thinner ones can be quite strong as the wind field is much wider than the condensation funnel.

Subject: aus-wx: I'm not Archimedes, but

I have always been curious about the reasons for the genesis of different shaped tornadoes (sp?) from rope/trunk ones to large wedge shaped funnels.

Sitting in the bath recently, I noticed how when the water goes down the plug, the vortex starts thin and gradually thickens as the water level goes down.

Although the parallel/analogy of the spinning water in the bath and the appearance of a tornado is appealing, it obscures the differences between the two systems.  It was, however, the sight of the changing thickness of the bath vortex that made me re-focus on the question of why some tornados are thick and others are much thinner.

From what I can gather thin ones are generally not as strong as thick funnels.  Would I be correct in saying that roping thin ones also seem to come from a cloud base that is higher than the thick tornados or is this perhaps an illusion, caused by their greater breadth?

I'm definately going to have to go go down the path of Michael Thompsons usual comments and suggest someone send a little of this rain down to the sothern Illawarra region. Our last rainfall in Blackbutt was with the thunderstorms of 25/26th March, with only 0.2mm falling sometime on Sunday morning since. One thing I have definately noticed since moving back to this area from North Wollongong isd the number of times we have missed out on rain. With the only real comparitive AWS's with records on-line, I can only compare to the Wollongong Uni site, Port Kembla or Kiama sites, but none of these reflect the anomaly in the area where Michael and I currently live. Both months so far have been far, far below monthly means from Wollongong Uni, whereas the rainfalls are much closer to average for this site.

But, I'm looking forward to my move to Robertson after I have built up there, and the associated buckets of rain and the odd snowfall to boot as well. May the area continue to be the breeding ground for the thunderstorms that then drift along the escarpment and towards southern Sydney.

Cheers
Andrew Godsman

Hi Andrew, it certainly is not your imagination. There is about 200mm difference between Lake South / Warilla and Wollongong. The area just south of Windang bridge is the driest in the Illawarra. Barren Grounds behind Jamberoo is the wettest.
 
In regard to Wollongong you can also add another 200mm between Wollongong and Stanwell Park.
 
I wish you luck with Robertson, I would love the same. My wife however gets car sick and Macquarie Pass is just out of the question except for rare trips.
 
We are thinking of building at Albion park, I know its not as nice as Shell Cove, but you have to build within your means. We are looking at a nice block that looks NE all the way along the escarpment. Great to see passing storms, but blind to storms coming. It is located at the southern end of the new estates, with a kilometre of Stockyard Mountain, I am expecting some very heavy rainfall events when showers drift in from the NE.

I'm definately going to have to go go down the path of Michael Thompsons usual comments and suggest someone send a little of this rain down to the sothern Illawarra region. Our last rainfall in Blackbutt was with the thunderstorms of 25/26th March, with only 0.2mm falling sometime on Sunday morning since. One thing I have definately noticed since moving back to this area from North Wollongong isd the number of times we have missed out on rain. With the only real comparitive AWS's with records on-line, I can only compare to the Wollongong Uni site, Port Kembla or Kiama sites, but none of these reflect the anomaly in the area where Michael and I currently live. Both months so far have been far, far below monthly means from Wollongong Uni, whereas the rainfalls are much closer to average for this site.

But, I'm looking forward to my move to Robertson after I have built up there, and the associated buckets of rain and the odd snowfall to boot as well. May the area continue to be the breeding ground for the thunderstorms that then drift along the escarpment and towards southern Sydney.

Cheers
Andrew Godsman

Hi all.
Went for a 250k deviation on the way home from Melbourne and found some brilliant storm action between Woodend and Ballan from about 1400 to 1800hrs, all storms were very slow movers with virtually no speed shear, however some of the stronger cells were developing good backbuilding tendencies. Also a very interesting pyrocumulonimbus near Trentham together with a brief funnel on another cell. The best though was a remarkable development at around 1630 to 1730 between Bachusmarsh and Ballan, this was the closest thing I have seen to a supercell since last years TDU chase. This magnificent storm developed a rotating main updraft which persisted for almost 30 minutes ( most on video) all backlit by the setting sun. I will arrange for some video captures and photos to be sent to MSC over the next several days..regards Clyve Herbert.
 
Techno stuff..... The mid levels were cold -18c at 500hpa and -47 at 300hpa although there was virtually no speed shear there appears to have been some directional shear especially between 700hpa and 500hpa (from a visual perspective) a weak surface trough was in the vicinity of central Victoria at around 1500hrs there was good low to mid level moisture loading.

You can read up on the following report: http://www.australiasevereweather.com/storm_news/2001/docs/200101-03.htm I know I posted it a few days ago, but if you read the January 7th report, you will see a tall storm most likely a supercell which split. It lasted over an hour on a day of lower wind shear but turning with height and also higher CAPE.... It was also near Oberon 1200 metres so development over elevated area. There was a wall cloud persistent for some 30 minutes whilst I watched but it was already in operation when I got there. (There are a few videos as well that help show the structure better). Interesting that Karl mentions: "Some of those storms were exceptionally high at times and Cbs were some of the biggest I have seen for some time." The storms on this event day where going up high and had dry air aloft as well. Well interesting discussion.

I’m on the NW Coast and it’s been nice here. I think Hobart has been ok but the East Coast has had some drizzle. I hope they enjoy their time here, I certainly would not live any where else by choice, even though the weather can be dull sometimes – at least here I have a lower risk of being bombarded with golf ball size hail or washed away in a huge downpour or blown away in a tornado – I guess that’s good? ….

One bonus of the dull days, if I'm not at work, is the trout fishing – these calm, warm and cloudy days makes for perfect fishing weather – it gets the ol' bugs and insects on the go which stirs the trout in to action. But if I can’t get up to the lakes and it’s a real bummer of a day, then it gives me a good excuse to stay indoors and finish recording my original songs for my cd, although those days are going to be limited for a while with our first bub on the way! --- "Tony Langdon (VK3JED)" wrote: > At 03:29 AM 16/04/2002 +0100, you wrote: > > >It's really sad to read about weather happening > >elsewhere everyday on this list and experiencing > >nothing here!

Hi list,
 
Blackbutt, 4:30pm
Well after my complaints from last night, I awoke to heavy rain this afternoon with 32mm of rain falling in a little over 40 minutes. Fantastic stuff, now hopefully this east coast low is about to explode a little to our north so that it pushes the rain onshore along the Illawarra section of the coast. It could be an interesting bike ride to work this evening, and an even better night at work, listening to continuous heavy rain on the roof.
 
Cheers
Andrew Godsman

I can get out OK, so you should be able to get in.

Possibly things are a bit slow/overloaded because of the heavy rain in

It's a big shame that our native forests of NSW are still being used to our advantage & not to the environment & wildlife's advantage, as evidenced on the State Forests of NSW website.

Good evening all.
Impressive activity north of New Caledonia at the moment sitting at the north end of the trough bringing so much interest to the eastern parts of Aus is a region of positive convection extending along the ITCZ to north of Fiji. The complex north of New Caledonia has rather good divergent outflow aloft ,enhanced convection appears to favour the southern quadrant, over near Fiji this area has shown positive and strong convection over a rather large area but lacks upper divergence. This whole region has possibilities. regards Clyve H.

Just had a gander at the satpic. That looks like a whole chain of convection from S of Papua New Guinea right across the date-line. North of it the convection is too close to the equator for much excitement in the NH. JTWC currently is watching two poor areas around 140E, but I'm not going to hold my breath for something to develop. As others have so rightly said, time to address some of those other projects until we get some more exciting weather.

Kelley ended up chasing to Ardmore and got to watch the back end of a extremely nice cell (no rotation) which was sitting on 69DBz while she was watching it. She got some pics, so as soon as she gets them developed, I'll put them on our website. One thing that amazed me though was how quick the cell she was under collapsed. It went from 69, down to 64 and then dropped even further to 58 in a matter of 20-30mins...amazing stuff. Should be interesting to see what happens today. Some small stuff up towards Altus AFB, but nothing really worth watching, and looking at the SPC outlook, it could be better later on...hopefully like yesterday where Kelley said nothing was about at 3pm CST on radar, and then it just exploded.

Hello Everyone
 
For those of you in Tas and NZ a good show of southern lights at the moment. A curtain of light green. Fortunately we are having this Indian Summer and we have a clear night. There is no wind so there are perfect reflections on the harbour and all the navigation markers are like spotlights.
I'm sorry for those who are suffering SDS but this run of fine weather shortens our winter which is usually about a month too long.

Hello Matthew
 
In some years I have not seen any. The best year I have witnessed was the summer of 91\92. We had several fantastic displays better than the northern lights I saw in Canada when I was closer to the pole.

The main feature was the 1 second per flash of the lighnining and some fearsome flangs. One very close flang imprinted its image im my eye (in black angainst the lightning spectacle) for at least 15 seconds after it had happened. Can lightining damage your eyes I wonder ?.

Couldn't help noticing the reference to 3/4/5 inch hail... Well...I've been interested in/recording weather since 1973 (as a 12 year old); studying met/chasing for twenty-odd years...and the biggest hail I've EVER seen was an oblong piece about the size of a 10c piece (long-axis)! I've lived in Bendigo/Mooroopna/Red Cliffs/Wycheproof. Hmmnnn...do I see a pattern forming here? Don't let me live within 100ks of you if you want hail! Kevin from Wycheproof. P.S. That "big" hail I saw was from my bedroom window in Bendigo in 1978!

After such a dry (even though mild) summer, we needed the rain. A local manmade lake about 5km from here just had a few puddles of water here and there on Monday. By around 12noon Tuesday after most of the rain fell, it was almost totally full thanks to all the run off from the drains. Like you say, quite amazing that most of the rain fell in just 3 or 4 hours. Hopefully a lot more rain and storms this winter.

But the indications are that an El Nino pattern is on the cards, which could mean less rain/storms for Tassie, especially the NW Coast. I don’t know what Mike Pooke would say about my theory? I hope you enjoy the Autumn, as it is traditionally a period of stable weather in Tassie. --- Lester wrote: > Beautiful weather in Hobart, not a drop of rain in > Hobart since April began > (until an hour ago anyway).

That's plenty big enough to mess up your new car if it's outside or slice up your tomato crop. I seem to remember a report in the paper in the fifties or sixties that insulators on a 66KV SEC line in Western Victoria were smashed by cricket- ball size hail. Trouble is I can't remember how big a cricket ball is as I haven't seen one in so many years. I should imagine it would be about 7cm - maybe 2½ or 3 inches.

Send here flowers, love her to bits, tell her she's wonderful.

It has barely moved in 3 days and is not expected to do much until late weekend. NGP has a rather dull scenario with little movement expected. But AVN has the couch potato actually moving northwards by late weekend. At the same time it has developed a nice warm core. This may lead some interesting weather on late Sunday. GASP brings it more E/NE and too far off the coast for any real action. Interesting also ( and covered by another thread ) is the very strong cold front being toyed with by all models for later next week.

If it fell in a rural setting there may well be $0 property damage - only a very small percentage of most regions has property to damage and hail storms are usually quite small in extent. Given the frequency and intensity of tornadoes in the US, there are likely to also be more large hail falls than in Australia, and there are more people scattered around the place to report what does occur.

had the delight to photograph (some from my roof), a pulse storm on the 17th of april, it had nice Updraft and pilus to boot, it grew from a Accas/Cj/TCu (further east was Accas, toward the west was TCu) regions in to this Cb, a little bit a Lightning (Cgs) and a nice rain area, only showed light blue on radar, but as wagga radar is known to miss storms that develop over eastern canberra and the southern ranges (as this one did) and also is very underestimating toward most storms over canberra and espcially ones heading west!!! like this one was :)
 
Enjoy!
 
Cheers

Just remember, their spotter network has been going for much longer than ours (our started in 1989-1990). If there have been previous reports without damage, perhaps then the NWS must have discounted any of those for accuracy unless proper well documented assessments were done. I don't discount that 4.5" hail has fallen. I'd also like to point out that here in Australia, the Bureau has gone back into its severe weather archives and discounted some reports since they were not measured. I wonder if this was a WMO initiative or insurance based?? Has the US gone through the validity of their reports?Does 8" hail mean conglomerates of a few giant hail to that size? Having observed some of the incredible events last year which was an average year - nothing special (but perhaps lasting longer as a season), we know of at least two confirmed reports of 4.5" hail. And based on the incredible lapse rates and moisture profile they commonly get, I would not be surprised about some of their reports. Their LP supercells simply can produce massive hailstones and Coloradao for instance is in a high region and does receive many hailstorms each year including being in a region of LP supercell producers. It will be interesting what can come out of the storms this year as it seems to be extremely active with the dry line really moving around. Check out this site: http://www.chaseday.com/hail.htm Take particular notice of the hailstones in the hand of the person off the link "A look at size and shape" The hailstone is extremely rounded and you can tell very hard balls of ice. Early in the season in particular with colder upper air and unusually warm and moist winds flowing in from a very warm sea, you can imagine of a worst possible scenario occurs. The lapse rates are still there cold temps, Lifted Index parameters can typically match -6 or -8. Take into account the Sydney hailstorm which would have had 4.5" hail reports. Temps at 500hPa were colder than normal - someone can remind me of this (it was April too and we had had some cold conditions previous). The 4.5 inch hail reports last year come from conditions where temps at 500hPa were not really spectacular but obviously the storm heights go higher in a deeper atmosphere. A lot of their setups are naturally and climatologically (typically part of their climatic setup) near absolutely unstable.So nothing surprises me of the severity of the hailstorms. Anyway, we shall be checking on some of the confirmed reports from this season.

Women's faults are many,
Men have only two,
Everything they say

She is probably hurting too - so one of you will just have to swallow your pride and take the first step towards making up. If the fight was over something that will still affect the world in 100 years time, perhaps you should stick to your guns, but if it wasn't - well then, put it behind you. 2. The more you hurt after a fight with your lady tells how deep your love is. If you have a fight, shrug it off and move on, then the relationship that just disintegrated probably was not worth much. And, although I said 2 things, here is a 3rd. Many so called fights are nothing but power struggles. If you can be objective enough to realize that this may have been the case, then perhaps it is also the case that one of you feels the need to win every argument, to have the final say on every issue, to choose every video and on and on. The remedy is to take it in turns - easy and simple, but bloody hard to stick to. Depends on how important she is to you, and you are to her. Good luck, and I hope things pick up. Being a girl, (well, I was long,long ago) I know how difficult we can be. But apart from that, we are wonderful creatures.

The showers in eastern Victoria are still coming from the SSE and the wraparound band, while the showers in the west of the state are coming from the SW (and the distrubance to our west).

And today about 5pm - much to my surprise - were a couple of very loud rumbles of thunder from some lazy (ie very pulsey) showers drifting off the ranges. Looking at the satellite animation shows that the Canberra region was also close to the convergence zone of cloud from the couch potato low and the decaying low from the west.

But have such storms ever been known to leave the tropics to affect the NSW coast? I've heard somewhere that the nature of weather systems in that area generally prevents such events occurring, but there must have been some occurences. Pretty quiet here lately - anticyclones and weak onshore flows meaning cloud and cool daytime temperatures, but no action of any sort. Similar to this time last year, but we've had a lot of rain earlier in the year (plus a good dump at beginning of April), so there's more soil moisture and less worry about drought in Canterbury.

Expect another round of strong storms in Texas today; a bit farther east than the bunch yesterday near Lubbock. Conditions are right for supercells to develop with large hail,damaging winds,and tornadoes possible. Virginia is also in for scattered severe weather as a cold front sags south. Snow will once again fall in Wyoming and the mountains of Colorado and Utah

In fact Denver suburbs extend into the neighboring Adams & Arapahoe counties. I don't doubt that 4.5" hail can fall in Colorado - matter of fact, I was staying in Denver when 1" hail fell & this made the front cover of the daily newspaper. I just strongly doubt this particular report, which then leaves me to wonder about others. John. >snip Hi John. If it fell in a rural setting there may well be $0 property damage - only a very small percentage of most regions has property to damage and hail storms are usually quite small in extent. Given the frequency and intensity of tornadoes in the US, there are likely to also be more large hail falls than in Australia, and there are more people scattered around the place to report what does occur. Regards, Carl. >Hi Jimmy, > >I wonder a little about the validity of many of these reports, and whether >the NCDC applies the same stringent rules for qualifying Hail reports that >the BoM does.

The Storm of the Centery program is a good look at the biggest snow storm to hit easter NSW, i have seen it 100 times.....
 
One Day, One World, The Weather Is a premier and infact some of our list members were involved in the making of it right here in Aus... They were very lucky with the filming here, as it is not our "storm season" and it was mid winter... I believe Australia contribution to the program was a Nice East Cost Low, With a liitle more intentsity than the current ECL, or as some have called it Couch Potato low!...

Hello Everyone
 
In the last six hours the wave buoy off the coast has indicated a increase of average wave from 1.5m to 2.5m
and maximum wave from 2m to 4.5m. It will be interesting to see the swells as this change approaches.
The last week has been basically easterly winds and has flattened the swells. All the fishermen/fisherpersons/fishers (fishers - It is hard to get used to this term) are out and their return will be the next sign. If I see black cockatoos and a increase in rosellas the change will be significantly strong.
This settled weather we have had here has been fantastic but it is great to see a change on the way.

Hi everyone,
 
With some extremely nice and warm days for this time of year around the Illawarra in the past few days, my mind casts to the inevitable burst of cold air we will hopefully receive shortly to shock us into the right time of year. Looking at the models for the next two days shows that lovely pool of sub 520 air detaching and heading north way south of the bight. Hopefully we'll have the right systems in place to really catapult the cold air up over the SE states and the first mainland snowfalls for the season.
 
As much as I love thunderstorms and unstable weather, there is nothing better than watching the approach of the 532 or lower thickness lines with a cold change. Bring it on already. I want some of what the folks in Tassie have had on and off all summer.
 
Cheers
Andrew Godsman

But the storms organised into a fast-moving front rather than anything more interesting such as supercells or bow-echo fronts. But weather here is not boring.

I can't comment on the reasoning behind the validity of this or other reports. However, having done a search of Denver County in the database, it seems the results of the search are fairly dispersed. There does not seem to be any clear evidence of total exaggeration. I take a more local case here in Sydney. Horsley Park was said not to have been affected by hail much in the time my friends lived there - approx 30 years at that point. So I wonder what their report list would have looked like for a 30 year period - perhaps pea sized hail to 2 - 3cm hail? Oh but throw in 4 to 5cm hail report from us on 5th February 1996. This one event when Michael Bath and I went there got a strange look from my friends as it seemed like we attracted it there. On close examination of our video it seems large stones were amongst them (by the way, an LP supercell). This to them was the first time they had seen hail of this size and one that caused extensive damage to crops Here are the reports of the Denver County since the 1950's. I take note that there are some years they have recieved 1 or more reports other years nothing above 1" that is which is what this search is based on. I would not be surprised based on the behaviour this season that they may get few if any reports as the dryline is far more active towards the east. Last year, hail drifts and some reasonable size hail and tornadoes made the news on the 28th May. >Location or County Date Time Type Mag Dth Inj PrD CrD >1 DENVER 09/20/1955 1057 Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >2 DENVER 06/17/1956 1530 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >3 DENVER 07/18/1958 1500 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >4 DENVER 07/18/1958 1500 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >5 DENVER 07/18/1958 1600 Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >6 DENVER 07/18/1958 1600 Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >7 DENVER 05/18/1960 1700 Hail 1.13 in. 0 0 0 0 >8 DENVER 06/03/1961 1400 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >9 DENVER 05/27/1962 1310 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >10 DENVER 06/30/1965 1610 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >11 DENVER 09/01/1966 2115 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >12 DENVER 05/29/1967 1430 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >13 DENVER 05/30/1967 1630 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >14 DENVER 06/06/1967 1350 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >15 DENVER 06/07/1968 1510 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >16 DENVER 05/19/1969 1800 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >17 DENVER 05/30/1970 2135 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >18 DENVER 05/04/1971 2030 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >19 DENVER 06/04/1971 1125 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >20 DENVER 09/14/1976 1400 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >21 DENVER 05/30/1977 2050 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >22 DENVER 05/30/1977 2200 Hail 2.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >23 DENVER 06/07/1978 1845 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >24 DENVER 08/17/1978 2253 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >25 DENVER 06/02/1981 1915 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >26 DENVER 06/03/1981 1430 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >27 DENVER 06/13/1981 1855 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >28 DENVER 06/13/1981 2030 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >29 DENVER 05/28/1982 2000 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >30 DENVER 06/02/1982 1700 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >31 DENVER 06/24/1982 1615 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >32 DENVER 07/01/1982 1552 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >33 DENVER 07/01/1982 1740 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >34 DENVER 06/12/1983 1315 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >35 DENVER 07/16/1983 1858 Hail 1.70 in. 0 0 0 0 >36 DENVER 07/16/1983 1950 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >37 DENVER 07/22/1983 1600 Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >38 DENVER 07/22/1983 1617 Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >39 DENVER 07/22/1983 1630 Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >40 DENVER 07/30/1983 1830 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >41 DENVER 07/30/1983 1910 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >42 DENVER 07/30/1983 1930 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >43 DENVER 08/05/1983 1710 Hail 4.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >44 DENVER 06/12/1984 1537 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >45 DENVER 06/13/1984 1623 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >46 DENVER 06/13/1984 1656 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >47 DENVER 06/13/1984 1715 Hail 1.75 in. 0 20 0 0 >48 DENVER 06/13/1984 1828 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >49 DENVER 06/03/1985 1445 Hail 2.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >50 DENVER 06/03/1985 1536 Hail 1.25 in. 0 0 0 0 >51 DENVER 05/23/1987 1535 Hail 1.00 in. 0 1 0 0 >52 DENVER 06/23/1987 1525 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >53 DENVER 05/10/1989 1500 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >54 DENVER 05/30/1989 1445 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >55 DENVER 06/02/1989 2250 Hail 2.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >56 DENVER 06/03/1989 1600 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >57 DENVER 05/30/1990 2205 Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >58 DENVER 07/11/1990 1435 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >59 DENVER 08/11/1990 1650 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >60 DENVER 08/19/1990 1804 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >61 DENVER 05/23/1991 1415 Hail 2.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >62 DENVER 05/23/1991 1525 Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >63 DENVER 05/31/1991 1532 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >64 DENVER 06/01/1991 1659 Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >65 DENVER 06/01/1991 1717 Hail 1.25 in. 0 0 0 0 >66 Denver 06/18/1994 1305 Hail 1.25 in. 0 0 0 0 >67 Capitol Hill 10/01/1994 1629 Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >68 Northwest Denver 10/01/1994 1629 Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >69 Denver 06/06/1997 01:01 PM Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >70 Denver 06/06/1997 12:55 PM Hail 1.75 in. 0 0 0 0 >71 Denver 06/06/1997 12:56 PM Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >72 Denver 06/12/1997 04:47 PM Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >73 Denver 07/19/1997 03:45 PM Hail 1.25 in. 0 0 0 0 >74 South Denver 08/11/1997 02:40 PM Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >75 Denver 05/22/1998 07:00 PM Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >76 Denver 10/16/1998 12:40 PM Hail 2.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >77 South Denver 10/16/1998 12:50 PM Hail 1.50 in. 0 0 0 0 >78 Denver 06/10/1999 02:03 PM Hail 1.13 in. 0 0 0 0 >79 Denver Intl Arpt 06/10/1999 03:00 PM Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >80 Denver 06/23/1999 07:05 PM Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >81 Denver 05/28/2001 04:15 PM Hail 1.12 in. 0 0 0 0 >82 Denver Intl Arpt 06/20/2001 06:33 PM Hail 2.00 in. 0 0 10.0M 0 >83 Denver 07/08/2001 03:48 PM Hail 1.00 in. 0 0 0 0 >TOTALS: 0 21 10.000M 0 So I am certainly not doubting what I see on this database.

After a moderate risk prediction they end up with a bust in US twister country. Goes to show their
forecasters are about as good as ours. I wonder how Ken Ring would get on predicting tornadoes.
Anyway I think there was a total lack of atmospheric forcing over there. You can have good wind shear
and moisture but unless there is something to lift the air.............. 
As for the weather downunder this coming week, some rain for dry NZ and a sneaky cool change
for SE Australia. I like the upgraded ECWMF site.

Yes it seems that there was also cloud that did allow for sufficient instability through heating and the moisture side of things could be better. Though I am pretty sure this was reminding them of May 3 1999. All it needed was a window of heating and it could have gone up big time.

But yes, it was a bust and I am pretty sure for quite a few chasers as it was a Saturday afternoon. My  friends were supposed to chase today. Worst luck when you have a moderate risk.

Hi guys

I am forwarding this as it is very descriptive.  It arrived in my Inbox about 20
minutes prior to me forwarding it, to give you an indication of the timing,
as I am unsure from which country it is timestamped.

Love

April

This Is SKY & TELESCOPE's AstroAlert for Sun-Earth Interactions

                               Sun-Earth Alert

                          Solar Terrestrial Dispatch
                            http://www.spacew.com

                                21 April 2002

              Details at: http://www.spacew.com/astroalert.html

SIGNIFICANT SOLAR CORONAL MASS EJECTION DIRECTED EARTHWARD

(PLEASE NOTE: This disturbance is projected to impact the Earth relatively
soon. This notice might not be delivered to all subscribers of AstroAlert
before the disturbance impacts. We apologize if this occurs. A private
distribution list has been established for those who require rapid delivery
of watch/warning material. Refer to: http://www.spacew.com/www/sublists.html
for details. This anticipated activity is being followed closely on the
aurora discussion forum at: http://www.spacew.com/aurora/forum.html for
those
who are interested in near real-time information regarding the activity.)

     As active sunspot complex 9906 was preparing to depart the west limb of
the Sun on 21 April, a large and significant class X1.5 solar x-ray flare
was
observed. This event produced a prompt space radiation storm as energetic
protons travelling at near relativistic velocities began arriving at the
Earth about 5 minutes after the solar flare commenced.

     A high velocity coronal mass ejection was observed emanating from the
west limb of the Sun. Peak plane-of-sky velocity measurements made by the
SOHO spacecraft science team suggest the velocity of the coronal mass
ejection may have been travelling near 2,427 km/sec - a very substantial
velocity. Although this coronal mass ejection contained an Earthward
directed
component, most of the mass from the partial halo CME was directed well west
of the Earth.

     The earthward-directed portion of the coronal mass ejection is expected
to impact the Earth sometime during the mid-to-late UTC hours of 22 April
(this translates to around noon or the afternoon hours in Europe and the
early to mid morning hours near dawn for North America). This places
Australian/New Zealand and European sectors in the best positions for
observing potentially strong auroral storm activity after the coronal mass
ejection impacts the Earth's magnetosphere. Whether activity holds out long
enough for North American observers to spot activity is an open question.
However, North American observers should be aware that an earlier than
expected impact (which is possible, but less likely) prior to 12:00 UTC may
provide them with a predawn light-show for a few hours.

     Observers across the world and even into the lower latitude regions are
encouraged to watch the skies on 22 and 23 April for possible auroral
activity ("northern lights").

     A middle latitude auroral activity warning has been issued for this
event, details of which have been appended below.

                /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

                   MIDDLE LATITUDE AURORAL ACTIVITY WARNING

                     ISSUED: 20:41 UTC, 21 APRIL 2002

                /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

            *** POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE TO HIGH ACTIVITY EXISTS ***


VALID BEGINNING AT: 06:00 UTC ON 22 APRIL (11:00 pm EDT on 21 April)
VALID UNTIL: 19:00 UTC ON 23 APRIL

    HIGH RISK PERIOD: 22 - 23 APRIL (UTC DAYS)
MODERATE RISK PERIOD: 22 - 23 APRIL

PREDICTED ACTIVITY INDICES: 70, 40, 12, 10 (22 APRIL - 25 APRIL)

POTENTIAL MAGNITUDE OF MIDDLE LATITUDE AURORAL ACTIVITY: MODERATE TO HIGH

POTENTIAL DURATION OF THIS ACTIVITY: MAIN BELT = 12 TO 18 HOURS
                                    MINOR BELT = 18 TO 24 HOURS

ESTIMATED OPTIMUM OBSERVING CONDITIONS: NEAR LOCAL MIDNIGHT

EXPECTED LUNAR INTERFERENCE: MODERATE

OVERALL OPPORTUNITY FOR OBSERVATIONS FROM MIDDLE LATITUDES: FAIR TO GOOD

AURORAL ACTIVITY *MAY* BE OBSERVED APPROXIMATELY NORTH OF A LINE FROM...

   OREGON TO NORTHERN UTAH TO NORTHERN COLORADO TO SOUTHERN NEBRASKA TO
   NORTHERN MISSOURI TO ILLINOIS TO INDIANA AND EXTREME NORTHERN KENTUCKY TO
   VIRGINA.

ACTIVITY *MAY* ALSO BE OBSERVED APPROXIMATELY NORTH OF A LINE FROM...

   FRANCE TO SWITZERLAND TO SOUTHERN GERMANY TO NORTHERN AUSTRIA TO NORTHERN
   SLOVAKIA TO SOUTHERN POLAND TO NORTHERN UKRAINE TO CENTRAL RUSSIA. NEW
   ZEALAND AND SOUTHERN REGIONS OF AUSTRALIA ARE ALSO GOOD CANDIDATES FOR
   AURORAL ACTIVITY SIGHTINGS.


SYNOPSIS...

     A very intense, complex and high velocity solar coronal mass ejection
was observed early on 21 April. This disturbance had an estimated plane of
sky velocity of 2427 km/sec averaged out to 28 solar radii. Impact is
expected between 09:00 UTC on 22 April and 03:00 UTC on 23 April, with a
preferred impact time of near 12:00 to 15:00 UTC (give or take several
hours)
on 22 April.

     This is a potentially significant disturbance that could drive periods
of intense auroral storm activity. Middle and low latitude regions may be
able to spot periods of significant activity after this disturbance impacts.
At least a portion of the CME was directed Earthward, although the bulk of
the highest velocity material was directed well west of the Earth.

     Note that our projected activity index for 22 April (listed as 70) may
be on the conservative side.

     This warning will remain in effect until 19:00 UTC on 20 April. It will
then be updated or allowed to expire.

Yeah was a funny day that tuesday. All day through work I watched big Cu develop and funny the forcast on the radio was for fine and partly cloudy. Funny well what was the Cb doing to the north of Ballarat then!! I watched it go backwards! It moved from the East/NE over to the north of Ballarat out near Creswick I'd say and then finally went accross the CBD and die near home.

Hello Everyone
 
The black cockatoos flew in this morning and some of the fishers (crayfish) returned yesterday, most are still out.
The swell did not continue to make like I thought it would but the fast rise in the early hours the other day meant a lot of fishing gear was in water that made it unrecoverable. Fortunately the swell dropped off to 1.5m and the fishers have their gear now. 
At the moment steady light rain with light wind.

The swell did not continue to make like I thought it would but the fast rise in the early hours the other day meant a lot of fishing gear was in water that made it unrecoverable. Fortunately the swell dropped off to 1.5m and the fishers have their gear now. 
At the moment steady light rain with light wind.

Hi,
 
Is this like a Monday, a bad day for me, Mondays hater? Hehehe...well...there were lots of ants out the front at home panic for safe area before the rain arrived 15 mins later. Well. I went outside and checked the mail. And then ants crawled up my parachute pant and I panic wiping it off and took socks off. I saw lots of ants on driveway. I race to the near front door and kept wiping off and finally got it and went inside. I said to myself is Wednesday a same bad day as Monday. Yep! I hate mondays! Just kidding about Mondays hater. But amazing to see enough of ants running around. A good sign of rain so far.
 
OH! And its the first time for enough of ants to crawled up onto me. UGH! ARRGHHH!!!
 
From Nathan.

You can see the fields of cumulus/ dry lines / boundaries ! They also show day time storms so much more nicely. Check them out. TWC has 2km resolution images available http://www.weatherzone.com.au/ then click on the satellite links to get to a state VIS image. Once we have access to 1km resolution images it will be even better. cheers, Michael At 09:11 AM 25/4/2002 +1200, you wrote: >Hi, >Does any body bother with visible images.

Take a look at this US satpic: http://australiasevereweather.com/temp/usvissatpic/arm_c01.jpg So I think both are useful. That's a nice supercell too:)))) I think it was one that dropped baseball hail (hail to 3 inch warning on it and it was confirmed as baseball hail). It is situated on the western border of Oklahoma.

I would also like to compare temperatures of my place to different parts of Sydney throughout the day. What website does everyone recommend I should bookmark to do this?

The best radar for your location would be the Sydney radar.
Check out www.weatherzone.com.au and you'll have access to radar animations of around 8 hours. You'll have to register to access the radars, but it's free and easy to register. There are also current observations from across the country, and lots of other weather related info...

In the past 10 years, 18 severe cyclones have been observed in the Coral Sea and eastern Gulf of Carpentaria. But only one severe cyclone (TC Rona, 1999) has crossed the Queensland coast over the same period
 
In 2000 to 2001
 
8 cyclones were named and two tropical lows reported.
and for this year the el nino has taken it's place so the southern hemisphere is the poorest cyclone season in history. I wounder why.

To get a good close look at Sydney basin radar the best available is the 64km range display which you can only get by becoming a member of ASWA at http://severeweather.asn.au/. The radar displays are in the restricted members area, so you have to join (follow the links) but there are displays for the Kurnell and Sydney Airport Radars, which give excellent city coverage that ASWA pays for from the BoM system. These displays are not available free to the public on the web. There is also the 64km Letterbox Hill Radar (on the escarpment between Appin and the coast) which gives an excellent view of southerly and south westerly changes approaching the city. Observations, There are numerous pages for Sydney basin observation both on the BoM and at TWC which I am sure have already. However, if you want to display a map like presentation of hourly data, it is best to download the observation files directly and display them in your own software. There are two ways to do this. One. Download Andrew Miskelly's WxProfiler at http://www.theweather.com.au/wxprofiler/index.html All is explained and there is also some info on TWC at http://www.weatherzone.com.au/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=000010 The actual data files to download (the program does it for you) are on the BoM ftp site at ftp2.bom.gov.au//anon/gen/fwo/ look for the files near the bottom with file type ".afx". Two. Download Digital Atmosphere at http://216.71.158.243/dl/da10a.exe The program will then get the data from a number of overseas sources which you can select in an editable selection box, however, the best local data is available from Laurier Williams site at http://www.australianweathernews.com/digatm/ which also explains (with links) everything you need to know. DA also allows you to generate custom maps of any scale. You can do anywhere in the world by selecting the center latitude and longitude and specifying how wide (in nautical miles) you want the chart. Another thing DA allows you to do is that it can run automatically unattended (it has it's own script language) so you can create charts every hour or whatever, and automatically upload them to a web site (it has it's own internal ftp capability). So as you see, there are a number of options. It really depends on what you want to do. Hope that gets you started. > Damian wrote: > > I would like to keep an eye on my local radar for the Northern Suburbs > of Sydney. > Which radar online does everyone recommend I should bookmark & what > would the web address be for this radar? > I would also like to compare temperatures of my place to different > parts of Sydney throughout the day.

No doubt someone has done an analysis of the correlation between the Southern Oscillation Index and cyclone activity but although the correlation of rainfall and the SOI is highest in the tropics it's obvious from events that the relationship with TC occurrences isn't as much...

Yes quite a question, considering that 8 odd months ago, various high profile folks from the BoM and elsewhere were making predictions on national media about what a big season it was shaping up to be, with an above average number of TC's expected for QLD!!

In the past 10 years, 18 severe cyclones have been observed in the Coral Sea and eastern Gulf of Carpentaria. But only one severe cyclone (TC Rona, 1999) has crossed the Queensland coast over the same period
 
In 2000 to 2001
 
8 cyclones were named and two tropical lows reported.
and for this year the el nino has taken it's place so the southern hemisphere is the poorest cyclone season in history. I wounder why.

Personally I found the show was pathetic on National Geographic standards and the only plus for me was that I was first on which was a surprise. I didn't mind being called a weather nut. Well all in all, that's show biz. It happens all the time with interviews. But we did so well in the meeting that I thought it would be a great to have been included, if not even briefly. I am pretty much aware that people were told that there was no guarantee footage were to be used. I was in the end wondering if I was going to be in it. Just 2 lowsy minutes. I take it the decision was based on the lack of colourful and exciting weather. I am though disappointed by the fact that Hong Kong weather nuts had PREVIOUS footage used for a typhoon. I need someone to verify if there was a typhoon on the 27th July!!!!!!!! If not, they broke the rules!!!!!!!! COuld someone please verify this before I can claim it as such. We had so much to offer and the scenes were not included. I wished we can get access to the real tapes that were sent through. I will see what I can do. Overall, a pathetic program.

You're being a wee bit tough on BoM I think. I can't see any forecast-able reason why the last Australian and South eastern Pacific TC season was so poor. Upper unfavourable winds would be my guess.
 
No one can really forecast these things in the long term, unless you want to give it a try. Even those clever dudes in the US of A  make some errors (However, generally they are all pretty good at what they do).
 
Remarkable I think is the number of particularly intense TC's in the Southern Indian Ocean.

Damned if they do and damned if they dont.
So the BoM are getting dumped on again, funny I don't recall many technically based howls of protest when the BoM made this prediction. I can well imagine the public slanging that would have occurred had the BoM said nothing and a couple of cat 5's appeared. I agree with Simon. Ease up folks or, better still, tell us all exactly what is going to happen this winter or even next summer. I'd like to know !. Damien Howes.

Hi all disappointed tropos.
If the BOM had made a prediction on a higher than average cyclone season for the Coral Sea region (2001-2002) this may have been based on projected sea surface temps being higher than normal, as it turned out this was correct. Unfortunately though, a close look at the upper support mechanisms can give a clue.
There was a persistent and strong upper high over the central Pacific with an upper 300hpa extension westward towards the Coral Sea, Another area of upper high pressure persisted west of the Kimberly region (you may recall that one cyclone did form and got to cat 5 under this very good upper divergent region ) but was weaker than its Pacific sister, in between these two systems was a very persistent mid lat long wave trough frequently located over eastern Australia...hence the long term colder than average temps over the southeast of the continent from December 2001 to mid January 2002 and a heat wave high frequency situation for northern NSW and QLD. With all this in place a persistent upper north-westerly shear was present (above 350hpa) through most of the summer across the Coral Sea, you may recall that almost every cyclone that developed  within or near to the Coral Sea was sheared off to the southeast!. That's my two bobs worth, the cyclone season next year will be better...regards Clyve Herbert.

Clyve,
 
Thank you for the explanation. I was only thinking the same this morning while running to work, (ie that there must have been something going on in the upper atmosphere which crulled the formation). There certainly seemed to be a number of false starts which under normal conditions probably would have gone on to bigger things.
 
Lets not shoot those who we should be working with to gain a better understanding of why things went right or wrong. If a forecast is drastically wrong to what was experienced lets ask why, rather than just souring the relationship.
 
Just my two cents worth,
Cheers
Andrew Godsman

Hi all disappointed tropos.
If the BOM had made a prediction on a higher than average cyclone season for the Coral Sea region (2001-2002) this may have been based on projected sea surface temps being higher than normal, as it turned out this was correct. Unfortunately though, a close look at the upper support mechanisms can give a clue.
There was a persistent and strong upper high over the central Pacific with an upper 300hpa extension westward towards the Coral Sea, Another area of upper high pressure persisted west of the Kimberly region (you may recall that one cyclone did form and got to cat 5 under this very good upper divergent region ) but was weaker than its Pacific sister, in between these two systems was a very persistent mid lat long wave trough frequently located over eastern Australia...hence the long term colder than average temps over the southeast of the continent from December 2001 to mid January 2002 and a heat wave high frequency situation for northern NSW and QLD. With all this in place a persistent upper north-westerly shear was present (above 350hpa) through most of the summer across the Coral Sea, you may recall that almost every cyclone that developed  within or near to the Coral Sea was sheared off to the southeast!. That's my two bobs worth, the cyclone season next year will be better...regards Clyve Herbert.

You're being a wee bit tough on BoM I think. I can't see any forecast-able reason why the last Australian and South eastern Pacific TC season was so poor. Upper unfavourable winds would be my guess.
 
No one can really forecast these things in the long term, unless you want to give it a try. Even those clever dudes in the US of A  make some errors (However, generally they are all pretty good at what they do).
 
Remarkable I think is the number of particularly intense TC's in the Southern Indian Ocean.

well i hate to see what bom.gov going to say for the next season  they are just as bad as the weatherchannel
you wrote
No doubt someone has done an analysis of the correlation between the Southern Oscillation Index and cyclone activity but although the correlation of rainfall and the SOI is highest in the tropics it's obvious from events that the relationship with TC occurrences isn't as much

Hi all monsoon watchers.
It appears the dry season has commenced over the top end of Australia with a vast area of dryer air appearing above 700hpa, although a few convective showers will pop up over the next several weeks another monsoon burst looks unlikely save for the possible intervention of a low lat mid lat system and a large baroclinic cloud mass moving across the north of Aus. regards Clyve H.

(Of course, users of a probability-based forecast are quite free to interpret it as a categorical forecast, depending on whether the probability of above-normal conditions falls above or below 50%). As a scientist, I prefer the probability-based approach because it gives an indication of the level of confidence attached to a forecast, but there's no doubt that in the wider world categorical forecasts are more widely understood , and there's not much point in putting out any forecast if no-one can understand it. The National Climate Centre uses probabilities for its seasonal rainfall and temperature outlooks, but those states doing cyclone forecasting state them categorically (as does the well-known Gray forecast for the North Atlantic basin).

The warmth has been most notable in central Australia. Alice Springs is currently running 5.7 degrees above normal (and 2.7 above its previous April record) for the month; this will drop back a little over the coming days but probably only to +5 or so. Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra are all running well above average, but none are threatening records. I haven't checked other sites as yet. With the huge anticyclone near Tasmania next week (as progged by both GASP and the ECMWF), there may well be potential for numerous May records from Thursday onwards on its western flank. The ECMWF has thicknesses of 572 reaching well south of Esperance on Thursday, suggesting possible temperatures near or above 35 in this region. Esperance has a May record of 34.5 and Kalgoorlie 32.9, and the SA record of 36.5 (at Nullarbor) may also come under some threat.

As the cold front hits the East Coast, a low has developed southeast of Long Island and will zip into Nova Scotia by Friday morning. Rainfall amounts across western and southern Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia and Virginia ranged between 1 and 4 tenths of an inch. Heavier rains are moving from Upstate New York and New Jersey into New England. Parts of New England could pick up between .75 and 1.25 inches of precipitation with rain and heavy wet snow. Areas west and north of Boston have changed over to wet snow and interior Down East Maine could possibly accumulate to 6 inches of heavy wet blustery snow. Be careful out there driving overnight. After a break Friday into Saturday, a new round of rain will hit the Northeast late Saturday into Sunday. Although the rains are doing little to reverse the long-term drought, they are keeping the surface soil moist for spring planting.
South
As quickly as thunderstorms exited Georgia and the Carolinas Thursday morning, thunderstorms have exploded in western Texas, dumping sensational localized 8-11 inch rains over Albany, Texas northeast of Abilene, Texas Thursday late afternoon and early evening. Massive flooding of roads, highways, and neighborhoods resulted in Albany, Texas. More rain will fall in this area so flooding will persist locally through Friday. This rapid setup occurred as moisture overran the southwest corner of a sprawling area of high pressure while disturbances in the subtropical jet stream provided the triggers for thunderstorm development. An upper-level low off the California coast will approach the southern Plains Friday. Showers and thunderstorms will continue in Oklahoma and Texas and expand into the southern Mississippi Valley. Some of the thunderstorms could turn severe in the high Plains. Clouds will increase into the Southeast. A few thunderstorms could pop over the Florida Peninsula. On Saturday, as the upper-level system heads for the Mid-Mississippi Valley, thunderstorms are possible from Arkansas and northeast Texas to the Carolinas with warm, rain-free conditions closer to the Gulf Coast. Severe thunderstorms could occur ahead of a cold front from western Tennessee to the Ark-La-Tex. On Sunday, as the front moves through Virginia, but stalls across the southern portions of Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas, scattered thunderstorms could continue from the Carolinas to northern Mississippi.
Midwest
Windy and chilly characterizes the Midwest with west-northwest winds gusting to over 40 mph around the southern Great Lakes and afternoon temperatures some 5 to 20 degrees below average. Snowflakes are flying across northeast Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Frost and freeze advisories have been issued for parts of the Ohio Valley overnight. You may need to protect your tender plants and pets overnight through Friday morning. Meanwhile, moving into Friday, showers and thunderstorms will increase from South Dakota to Kansas. A strengthening south-to-southeast flow will return moisture to the Plains at the same time that a southwestern system approaches. A few severe thunderstorms could pop over southwest Nebraska and western Kansas later Friday. A fairly deep area of low pressure will develop over southwest Kansas Friday night and Saturday morning and then zip eastward to Lake Erie by Sunday morning. Locally heavy and potentially flooding rain will streak from the central Plains, through the northern and central portions of the Mississippi Valley, to the southern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley during the first half of the weekend. Severe thunderstorms are possible across Missouri, Kentucky and the southern portions of Illinois and Indiana on Saturday. Wet snow is possible on the northern fringes of the storm from the Dakotas into the Upper Midwest. On Sunday, as the wet system shifts into the East, a new front will bring scattered showers into the northern Plains and Upper Midwest.
West
An upper level low off the California coast will ride in off the Pacific overnight and Friday. Look for showers and possibly some thunderstorms to rumble from southern California, southern Nevada and the mountains of Utah and Arizona on Friday. Meanwhile, a separate Pacific system will come into the Northwest, spreading cool showers and mountain snow from western Washington to western Montana. Seattle will experience a typical cool showery Spring day on Friday.

Well folks, last night for 1/2 hour we got rain harder than I have ever heard. My wx station only said around 11mm but I am inclined to disagree, there must have been water bouncing out of the rain guage. There was well enough water to flood my shed out. I had to lift a couple of computers and some paperwork (both wet) off the ground.

Great moon rise tonight. Go outside & check it out. It's also one of the coldest starts so far this season to the night.
Do we really need to know what weather is occurring in the USA so often on this mailing list??

Well, a lot of people are interested in the tornado season over there. The main aim of all weather discussion is to further people's weather knowledge and we should welcome every opportunity to do that. It doesn't matter whether it's the USA or Woop Woop.

Great reply Keith.
Althought this is a Aussie weather mailing list, i'd say its only called that so it could be use by us Aussie's to get our opinion and Wx conditions across to other aussies without a 1000US* based weather freaks posting all there stuff, like what happens on US mailing lists.. As keith said alot of people on the list are very interested in US weather and more over, tornadic events and the like, No matter where it occurs. I know of a couple of US people on the list (soon to be one more..pauly ;o) ), and 1 UK person on the list and any update on signifigant weather in there region is very much accepted on the list. So i say keep the severe weather reports coming no matter where they are from, and try provide some links to where you got the info from and any pics from the events, so ppl like me can see for myself...
 

Cheers

Well said Keith.
 
I'm going to be living over there soon, so I'll be sending reports on chases I have as well as other various little bits and pieces, but this list caters for weather in the US, Oz, UK, NZ, China (Well, Hong Kong), and I find it really interesting to see what's going on around the planet :o)))

Hi all, I have been on the list for a couple of months now, I am impressed by how much info comes through. Too much for me to read all, but great to pick through.
 
I am from Melbourne but now live in Sweden. Despite the extreme cold at times here it is pretty boring weather wise. I miss the variation and rapid changes of Melbourne.
 
I am curious about other list members extremes.
 
I have worked in the Aussie dessert and had 53 celcius in the shade(Onslow area WA).(I was out in the sun! Believe me no one can say anything to anyone between 10 am and 3pm without snapping at each other. Add to that the million or so very friendly flies.......to test your temprement.)  But you can really feel very small temperature differences at those high extremes.
 
I have also had minus 31 celcius in Sweden. You do not want to be outside more than 1 hr even with the right clothing!
 
I will take heat any day. At least when the sun goes down there is relief.
 
Lived in Darwin for a yr and a half too. My favorite: hot evenings and non stop electrical excitement, extreme humidity a lot though. Doesn´t bother me too much with a fan and regular showering, pool plunging. The Dry gets a bit boring after a few months.
I have never seen rain like I did in Darwin during a monsoon period in February. Take the heaviest rain you can imagine and have it for 40 minutes, then increase it, yes increase it, for 10 minutes and then no rain for 10 minutes. It was like that non stop, day and night for 3 weeks. Walking in 4 inches of water on the ground at all times on my work site. It just never had a chance to get away.
 
I´ve been fortunate to live in 4 very different weather regions. Anyone elses extremes?

Here, here
I think we can learn alot about our own weather including severe events from observing what happens elsewhere in the
world, notably the US. Anyway, America has such fascinating weather. I also find European weather of interest
particularly Britain and France.

Great reply Keith.
Althought this is a Aussie weather mailing list, i'd say its only called that so it could be use by us Aussie's to get our opinion and Wx conditions across to other aussies without a 1000US* based weather freaks posting all there stuff, like what happens on US mailing lists.. As keith said alot of people on the list are very interested in US weather and more over, tornadic events and the like, No matter where it occurs. I know of a couple of US people on the list (soon to be one more..pauly ;o) ), and 1 UK person on the list and any update on signifigant weather in there region is very much accepted on the list. So i say keep the severe weather reports coming no matter where they are from, and try provide some links to where you got the info from and any pics from the events, so ppl like me can see for myself...

Well, a lot of people are interested in the tornado season over there. The main aim of all weather discussion is to further people's weather knowledge and we should welcome every opportunity to do that. It doesn't matter whether it's the USA or Woop Woop.

Great moon rise tonight. Go outside & check it out. It's also one of the coldest starts so far this season to the night.
Do we really need to know what weather is occurring in the USA so often on this mailing list??

Subject: aus-wx: Extremes

Hi all, I have been on the list for a couple of months now, I am impressed by how much info comes through. Too much for me to read all, but great to pick through.
 
I am from Melbourne but now live in Sweden. Despite the extreme cold at times here it is pretty boring weather wise. I miss the variation and rapid changes of Melbourne.
 
I am curious about other list members extremes.
 
I have worked in the Aussie dessert and had 53 celcius in the shade(Onslow area WA).(I was out in the sun! Believe me no one can say anything to anyone between 10 am and 3pm without snapping at each other. Add to that the million or so very friendly flies.......to test your temprement.)  But you can really feel very small temperature differences at those high extremes.
 
I have also had minus 31 celcius in Sweden. You do not want to be outside more than 1 hr even with the right clothing!
 
I will take heat any day. At least when the sun goes down there is relief.
 
Lived in Darwin for a yr and a half too. My favorite: hot evenings and non stop electrical excitement, extreme humidity a lot though. Doesn´t bother me too much with a fan and regular showering, pool plunging. The Dry gets a bit boring after a few months.
I have never seen rain like I did in Darwin during a monsoon period in February. Take the heaviest rain you can imagine and have it for 40 minutes, then increase it, yes increase it, for 10 minutes and then no rain for 10 minutes. It was like that non stop, day and night for 3 weeks. Walking in 4 inches of water on the ground at all times on my work site. It just never had a chance to get away.
 
I´ve been fortunate to live in 4 very different weather regions. Anyone elses extremes?
 
cheers

Weatherzone has a fantastic forum, of which Most ASWA members are members of it!! its also a good place to Promote ASWA and remind people of meetings and such. i personally dont think ASWA needs a forum of its own as what would go in there, basically what is said on WZ, and why double up. Also for non ASWA members who post on WZ, some are very knowledgeable and a ASWA only forum would mean people like this, who choose not to join the ASWA (Some members of AMOS are good example) will be unable to voice their opinions and knowledge base to the benifit of others...

As I see things, the TWC forum and this list provide a very useful service to many people. So do others like the snow forum and there is #weather as well. They all serve both complementary and individual functions for most of us. Most ASWA people seem to inhabit TWC, #weather and here. As Simon says, there are many professionals visiting and posting in the open lists / forums that would not join closed lists - why would they - so we amateurs would miss out on their wisdom if we operated a closed list. I am all for cross pollination, indeed, sometimes they gain from ASWA / chasers info, but in truth, the flow is very much much more the other way. Frankly, putting a forum on ASWA would probably not be worth the trouble, in time and effort to administer, and why duplicate TWC's, it is hosted by them, there are staff on 24/7 with plenty of willing knowledgeable professional right there. Twice today I had responses within 2 minutes post clock time, barely enough for crappy old Netscape to refresh the page. As for having a closed ASWA within TWC, assuming for a moment Mark was OK with the idea, my question is, what would it achieve ? Maybe I have missed something, but I don't see that it would serve any real purpose. Sure, ASWA is a small in numbers organization, but it has only been going a few years. Given the explosion of TWC members recently, the fact that most of this new crop are school age (not oldies like me) suggests to me that Sel's PAA kids must be signing up on TWC in droves (where else could they be coming from all of a sudden) and as they get older and get jobs and cars and a few $$$, and if they retain their interests in weather, and decide to get out there, a certain percentage will probably join ASWA anyway. I would hope ASWA will grow as a consequence.

There's TWO UK people on the list, myself and Norman Lynagh (who's an expat Aussie?) but our fields of interest are different. I only report anything significant now, anyhow and that usually goes to my state rep first...
 
You guys are more than welcome on news://uk.sci.weather of which i'm a stalwart usually when something tornadic's happening in the UK or Europe...

I am also new to this mailing list and find it very informative, also the fact you are the second aussie i know to live in Sweden, my fiance lives in the south, a little village named Staffanstorp so it was more than a spin-out to hear youve relocated there, im considering options myself and might possibly do the same.

Ive been keeping close tabs on the Wx situation there, the last few months have been cold indeed but it is certainly warming up for the Northern Hemisphere summer.

The extremes ive been through, well i made apost on Weatherzone a while ago about them.
Something like -10 here at Jimboomba, south of Brisbane as a minimum, and up to 45 as a maximum.

Im hoping you like it over there Jason, its a beautiful country indeed.

Subject: aus-wx: Extremes


Hi all, I have been on the list for a couple of months now, I am impressed by how much info comes through. Too much for me to read all, but great to pick through.

I am from Melbourne but now live in Sweden. Despite the extreme cold at times here it is pretty boring weather wise. I miss the variation and rapid changes of Melbourne.

I am curious about other list members extremes.

I have worked in the Aussie dessert and had 53 celcius in the shade(Onslow area WA).(I was out in the sun! Believe me no one can say anything to anyone between 10 am and 3pm without snapping at each other. Add to that the million or so very friendly flies.......to test your temprement.)  But you can really feel very small temperature differences at those high extremes.

I have also had minus 31 celcius in Sweden. You do not want to be outside more than 1 hr even with the right clothing!

I will take heat any day. At least when the sun goes down there is relief.

Lived in Darwin for a yr and a half too. My favorite: hot evenings and non stop electrical excitement, extreme humidity a lot though. Doesn´t bother me too much with a fan and regular showering, pool plunging. The Dry gets a bit boring after a few months.
I have never seen rain like I did in Darwin during a monsoon period in February. Take the heaviest rain you can imagine and have it for 40 minutes, then increase it, yes increase it, for 10 minutes and then no rain for 10 minutes. It was like that non stop, day and night for 3 weeks. Walking in 4 inches of water on the ground at all times on my work site. It just never had a chance to get away.

I´ve been fortunate to live in 4 very different weather regions. Anyone elses extremes?

cheers

Jas

I lived in Perth, WA for a long time. Once I worked directing trucks on top of a waste dump on a Kalgoorlie gold mine. It was summer and we had to stand on top of the dump for 12 hours every day, with just a little lean-to made of wood and shade cloth. That was bloody hot! Living here in Madison, WI, USA, I have had temperatures of about -35C, and once, while working as a ski instructor in Switzerland I had to go out in a -30C blizzard to make sure no kids in the ski class were stuck out on the slope. I was out for about 10 minutes and came back inside with about 1cm thick ice all over my face. That was pretty scarey.

It's a weather station program. If a certain condition is met then it can send warning emails. This one needs a bit of adjustment I think :-) As an example you could set an alarm for zero temp outside and when the condition is met a warning is given, can be an email, pager, computer sound or whatever you want. It can be any of the things, eg wind strength, dew point etc etc Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rosalina Champion To: Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2002 8:53 AM Subject: Re: aus-wx: Weather Alarm 08:51:38 April 28 > Hi all, > > Will someone please explain this weather alarm to me.

I was wondering if anyone could link me to a website that shows what temperatures the Sydney area weather stations got down to last night?
At my place between     Chatswood West & North Ryde on the Lane Cove River it got down to 8.9 & wanted to compare that to other night temps around the Sydney area but I can't seem to find any statistics.

There were some very responsible answers to your initial post, myself i believe TWC is doing a good job with their own forum and hence no need for another with ASWA.. Why jam it all up mate?

Calm down

As the rain gauge an automatic station type? If so you should make sure it is properly calibrated if need be. Also have you got it in a correct position with no building effects on wind or trees to stop the rain getting in the gauge??

Well folks, last night for 1/2 hour we got rain harder than I have ever heard. My wx station only said around 11mm but I am inclined to disagree, there must have been water bouncing out of the rain guage. There was well enough water to flood my shed out. I had to lift a couple of computers and some paperwork (both wet) off the ground.

Hi to all,

            After all this time I finally was able to send emails to this mailing list.  I have been on the list since last September and may I just say this is the best mailing list I’ve ever been with.

 

I live on the Gold Coast in QLD where its been raining most of the day today, not bad seeing as though the forecast was for a few showers.

 

This years TC season was a slow one, a bit disappointing to see that TC Claudia turned away from the coast when it could have brought quite a good show in Central and SEQ.  The season finishes officially in 2 days but we may be lucky to get a late season TC in May.

 

I hope to catch up with all on the list to say hi and to tell you some stories of my encounters with severe weather being bred in NQ and Brissie.

Although I didn't manage to catch up for a proper chat with you and a few others (maybe at the AGM), a great time and thanks to Michael and family for their hospitality. I was going to stay on in NE NSW and do some touring around, but something inside me (I'd like to think a little bit of foresight) said a couple of days of rain ahead. A decaying trough/front, a wee bit of an upper action and a pressure surge proving the ingredients. I think I mentioned this to Anthony at one stage. Some of us were punting on how many millimeters in the rain gauge about that time. Despite being only 1.9mm off the correct figure of 8.2mm, when the sun started shining brilliantly again, I wasn't feeling too confident in my initial gut feeling. Still following on from my weather "instinct" (everyone yawns!), I decided to travel home this morning. Travelled from Byron Bay through some driving rain in the Brunswick Heads area and again near Ormeau/Yatala. 30 mm scored today here in Cleveland and still raining as I type. I am glad I came home. Maybe go off touring later in the week if the weather settles down. By the way - has anyone noticed how the radar seems to show rain moving from NW to SE from the Sunshine Coast south and SE to NE from there north ???????

We are obviously going over with the same attitude of last year (or any storm chase) to just be on the Great Plains and try get storms and hope for the best. We'll see what happens once we get there. The season so far has started to get exciting. As to some hickups last year, please note we don't guarantee updates like the Dutch Storm Chasers:))) Hell sometimes you can't get time to do more than check the models and off you go. We will do our best in getting some e-mails across via some close contacts who also have access to the list and weather forum. But I again stress, no guarantees. This is my disclaimer:))) I will be seeing some people at the NSW ASWA meeting this Saturday 4th May. ----------------------------------------- Jimmy Deguara Storm Chaser and Mathematics Teacher from Schofields, Sydney NSW Australia e-mail:jdeguara at ihug.com.au Web Page with Michael Bath Australian Severe Weather Home Page http://www.australiasevereweather.com President of the Australian Severe Weather Association http://www.severeweather.asn.au +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "Simon Clarke" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: werid weather Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2002 20:31:00 +1000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 28 Apr 2002 10:31:03.0438 (UTC) FILETIME=[CC1762E0:01C1EE9F] Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com

Is this a question ?
 
A high moving slowly toward NZ does not always produce showers or rain in SE QLD.
 
However in this case, the fairly strong high that is moving toward NZ (as they all do) will pump a SE to E'ly air flow onto the south east QLD coast and aided by some upper air instabilty will produce squally winds and showers and (I suspect as the tail end of the change washes out) some generally cloudy conditions and rain in places.
 
If it was a statement - then yes, right ! 
 
"We-rid" weather indeed.
 
Regards
Simon

Why did u buy that type, where did u get it from, cost etc. I'm not looking at getting a big stand alone "megga - station" out in the middle of a paddock... The Weather Monitor II look like the type/size of system for me.. what's it like? cost? What's available here in Australia or do u have to look over seas for something better? If there r any links to the type of station u run for more info that would be nice :) Thanks. Regs. Paul.

Great moon rise tonight. Go outside & check it out. It's also one of the coldest starts so far this season to the night.
Do we really need to know what weather is occurring in the USA so often on this mailing list??

IF YOU MAKE A SMALL ENCLOSURE USING  FOUR (4) SMALL LOUVRE TYPE PANELS SUCH AS ARE USED IN CUPBOAD DOORS  WITH TWO ROOFS WITH A SPACE IN BETWEEN ON THE TOP  AND TWO LEVELS IN YOUR FLOOR OF THE BOX  YOU CAN END UP WITH A SIMPLE STEVENSON SCREEN WITH VENTILATES THE SENSOR VERY WELL YET KEEPS RADIATION AND RAIN OUT. I HAVE BUILT FOUR SINCE MY UNI DAYS IN THE 1970'S AND THEY ARE VERY EFFECTIVE . MY CURRENT ONE IS THE SIZE OF A REGULAR BOM STEVENSON SCREEN AND AS SUCH WOULD BE TOO BIG FOR YOUR COURTYARD. TO RECORD CORRECT NIGHT TIME TEMPS YOU NEED TO GET YOUR SENSOR AS FAR FROM WALLS AS POSSIBLE. ALSO PAINT INSIDE AND OUT WITH A SOLARGUARD  FLAT BRILLANR WHITE TYPE PAINT.

I need some advice on the best design for a simple housing for my outdoor digital thermometer. Where it is now (under an awning) reads the correct day temp' but not the correct night temp. I only have a small courtyard out the back that I can use.

Hi all,

I've been interested in getting myself a home weather station now for a
while but would like to know what kind of stations others here run at their
place. Why did u buy that type, where did u get it from, cost etc.
I'm not looking at getting a big stand alone "megga - station" out in the
middle of a paddock...
The Weather Monitor II look like the type/size of system for me.. what's it
like? cost?

What's available here in Australia or do u have to look over seas for
something better?

If there r any links to the type of station u run for more info that would
be nice :)

Thanks.
Regs. Paul.

I was wondering if anyone could link me to a website that shows what temperatures the Sydney area weather stations got down to last night?
At my place between     Chatswood West & North Ryde on the Lane Cove River it got down to 8.9 & wanted to compare that to other night temps around the Sydney area but I can't seem to find any statistics.

Forecast though was for snow to low levels in south which suited me as I was heading for Queenstown. Got some flurries there, that's all though. Queenstown is too sheltered by the high country. it misses alot of snow. I think Mt Hutt and Mt Ruapahue are the most reliable ski areas for snow. Must have been snowing on Mt hutt today, surely.

Thankyou for the correction Ben, you are indeed right after looking through my passport and matching up visa stamps. My memory is shot to pieces ugh.


BTW, the big Chch blizzard was in August 1992, not 1993.
Pretty cold and wet today - I guess the maximum might not have made double
figures.

Hi All,

           Looks as though winter has arrived early, with the overcast conditions and continuing showers today and tomorrow we may not see temps over 20 degrees on the Gold Coast.  In contrast to last week, Monday the temp at my place was 30 c.

 

 

 Latter in the week by Saturday, it seems an Upper Level Trough may produce rain areas in the interior and may reach east to the coast.  All this coastal shower activity is thanks to the high pressure system down south.  Some activity in the northern Coral Sea isn’t looking to promising for activity.

The tornados were part of powerful storms carrying heavy rain and snow. On the system's northern edge, up to 50 centimetres of snow fell in Wisconsin. Thousands were without power and wet snow contributed to four traffic deaths in Minnesota. A tornado cut a six-kilometre swath through Marble Hill, Missouri, south of St Louis, and swept a family from their home into a nearby lake and pond. A 12-year-old boy was dropped onto land and died. The tornado, packing wind up to 290kph, injured 16 people, smashed vehicles and bent semitrailers in half before racing east, said meteorologist Jim Packett of the weather service's office in Paducah, Kentucky. "It took several houses completely away. Blown to sticks - nothing left but the subfloor," Marble Hill Police Sgt Dennis Willis said. High wind sweeping across southern Illinois destroyed or damaged several homes about 32 kilometres north of the Kentucky border. The body of an elderly woman was found outside her mobile home, said Robbie McGee, a dispatcher with the Union County Sheriff's Department. Tony Kaufman said he and his family sought shelter in the basement. "When I worked up the courage to come upstairs I saw that the wind had sucked the dishes out of my kitchen cupboards," he said. In western Kentucky, wind destroyed a house, killing a man, said Barry Hart, director of Breckinridge County Emergency Management. A woman found in the wreckage was taken to a hospital, he said. In Ohio, thunderstorms with high wind and hail the size of golf balls damaged rooftops and car, and there were tornado warnings in at least nine counties. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Rands prands at efter-stormen.com - ICQ UIN: 137833127 "If you eliminate all other possibilities, what remains is the answer no matter how improbable it may appear." +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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: "richard modistach" To: "weather mailing list" Subject: Fw: aus-wx: What Weather Station?

Now I'm not saying that those reports are untrue (and they might have been properly verified, I don't know). But in my time in the USA I have noticed a cultural difference between here and Australia. Whereas Aussies tend to understate many things, here in the USA people like to exaggerate - and they do it a lot. So unless 4.5 inches was verified, I would have some doubts.

That I believe may be the case, and I had serious doubts about a report of 4.5" hail in Denver county Colorado, which caused $0 damage. Denver county is very small, just 150 odd sq kms and almost entirely built up, so you would expect hail that size to do significant damage, as per the famous Sydney hailstorm. But Jimmy provided this excellent link, http://www.chaseday.com/hailstones.htm which shows some nice photos of 2.5" and genuine 3" hail, judged by using a ruler on my hand as compared to the photos. But there is no claim in this article made about the size of specific hailstones shown in the pics, so it is hard to say if there is any exaggeration or not. I have witnessed hail of this size in SEQ on several occasions (no storm chasing), but would have to say that for any particular location (street) around Brisbane it would be an approx 1 in 25 year event.

The NWS posted this on their IWIN website: http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/md/public.html PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON 415 PM EDT MON APR 29 2002 ...CHARLES COUNTY TORNADO NOW RATED AN F-5 ON THE FUJITA SCALE... ...LA PLATA TORNADO BECOMES THE STRONGEST TORNADO EVER RECORDED IN MARYLAND... A STORM SURVEY TEAM FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS CURRENTLY SURVEYING TORNADO DAMAGE IN CHARLES COUNTY. SURVEY RESULTS INDICATE THE TORNADO WAS AN F-5 ON THE FUJITA SCALE. WIND SPEEDS IN THIS TORNADO HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE GREATER THAN 260 MPH. THIS IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT AT LEAST 6 HOMES WERE COMPLETELY WIPED OFF THEIR FOUNDATION IN CHARLES COUNTY WITH 3 OF THESE HOMES JUST EAST OF LA PLATA. THIS IS THE STRONGEST TORNADO EVER RECORDED IN MARYLAND. THE TORNADO PATH LENGTH WAS 24 MILES IN CHARLES COUNTY AND AT LEAST 6 MILES INTO CALVERT COUNTY. THE TORNADO WIDTH WAS 400 YARDS. THE TORNADO TOUCHED TOWN BETWEEN RISEN AND MARBURY AS AN F-2 THEN STRENGTHENED TO AN F-4 AS IT WENT THROUGH LA PLATA. THE TORNADO THEN STRENGTHENED TO AN F-5 ON THE EAST SIDE OF LA PLATA. THE TORNADO WAS AT LEAST F-4 STRENGTH AS IT MOVED TO BENEDICT IN CHARLES COUNTY. THE TORNADO THEN TRACKED INTO CALVERT COUNTY. THERE ARE 3 CONFIRMED DEATHS AND OVER 90 INJURIES.

I a not doubting though that there could be at least some slight exaggeration in recording simply by the rounding off of hailsize to the nearest 0.5 inch. But let's say there was significant hail sizes reported and therefore they do exist and they are not so uncommon. My belief is that since supercells are more common in the US due to the higher frequencies of wind shear and high cape conditions, then significant hail should occur more regularly. Of course, any particular area being hit by the hail swathe is a much smaller probability but if we go by counties, then probabilities increase. I also do not doubt that such giant hail events do occur in particular areas of Australia - some are more prone than others. The area SW of Camden near Oakdale receives severe hail at a higher frequency than other surrounding areas such as Sydney. SW and Central parts of Sydney also seems to have had more of the frequent hail events than say the region I live and surrounds. It is extremely rare for supercell type of events to affect my area but the region in SW and Central Sydney is more prone to such events in my view based on the proximity to topographic effects such as the region near Oakdale and just to the west. On a similar note and getting back to the US, I was quite interested in reading notes on (I think) Al Moller's web site about storm chasers' beliefs that the panhandle region has a higher density of tornadoes than the statistical analyses suggest (Oklahoma City as the epicentre). Well the tornado we got last year is officially recorded as F3 based on damage to one building and 2 cars picked up and thrown across the 4 lane highway (the one we were travelling on). I do believe the tornado was stronger than this simply by the shear size, structure and significant rotation of the collar cloud. So this is only one suspect example of many in a relatively sparsely populated area of the US. Interesting discussion.

Works the same for a Davis. The rest is pretty straight forward.
