Title: SE QLD / NE NSW Severe Thundertorms 16th - 19th November
Post by: Clayton on 12 November 2009, 02:05:56 PM
I have been looking at the Cape and LI maps for next week and Tuesday and Wednesday is looking like a excellent day for some
very strong storms cape over 3000 on wednesday.

Tuesday

Wednesday

Lets all hope this one stays good and doesn't die like friday

Looks really good for the end of the week Clayton! Wed. and Thurs. now look to be the better days, at least around the immediate NE NSW/SE QLD area. I am a bit new to all of this but I really appreciate all of the good information people are posting on this site. I've only been in the Warwick area around 5 months so I am still getting use to the weather patterns out this way. Went up to Mt. Tabor this afternoon for the first time to have a better look at the storms passing to our west, saw some really nice CG's! My camera should be out of the repair shop by early next week, just in time for the action to start up once again. One thing for sure, there will be no shortage of heat to work with by early to mid week!

I thought this early in the season the jet stream would be stronger, thus pushing all the activity towards the coast. Is it unusual for November storms to have such an erratic movement, and not push out to sea? Could this be due to El-Nino?  Any thoughts on how a strengthening El-Nino might effect the rest of the storm season? I heard that severe weather actually increases in the NE NSW and SE QLD area during El-Nino cycles. Maybe because of the above average temperatures in turn causing more instability? Thanks for the input guys!

Starting to look a bit interesting for next week, GFS really want to pump out some impressive CAPE which seems quite possible. The real limiting factor though is the weak mid/upper level winds. As we saw the other Thursday, weak mid/upper level winds aren't necessarily too bad provided there is good directional shear with strong low level winds. Hopefully there will be a couple of nice storm days in there somewhere. Tuesday would be my pick at the moment but that is still quite a few days out.

I'm actually eyeing off the very later parts of the week further south.  Models are trying to agree on a half decent upper level trough coming across the southern part of SE Australia sometime around Friday/Saturday and with plenty of moisture and resulting instability lingering around, I think we'll see a decent severe storm outbreak.  Here's hoping its further south anyway cause I'm flying to Sydney next Friday night and staying for the weekend.  ;)

Unfortunately I think work committments will keep me confined to Brisbane during this week.  Shame cause I'd love to play around down in the ranges with the high instability forecast for mid week.

Hey
I looked at the cape forecast for monday and it looks like we could have a storm on our hands.

I was wondering if anyone else was chasing that day?
 (I have to pick which day I want du to having to go to school)

Cape Forcast Monday 4pm

If this is realised, game on for thursday! Not a lot of shear though.

Hi

Is anyone thinking of going out chasing today it looks like it could be good max cape on the charts being 2200 with a cap around the casino-kyogle area
But looking at the Dew Point charts it looks that the moisture quickly drops off from the shore and only a few coastal areas get it.
I have to go to school because I am in Yr12 and I have to pick which days I want (about 3 max)
So I think I will give today a miss and go chaing Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday.
Which all of those days have cape over 3000 and caps whcih could lead to some big storms Pitty about the shear though but anything could happen
(even a tornado!! :o)

Development is just starting to occur around the border ranges, but I'm not too confident of anything heading toward the coast, considering the south to north steering winds.

The instability might be there but the sheer is just pitiful today. And it looks like tomorrow ain't going to be any better either.
Title: Re: SE QLD / NE NSW Severe Thundertorms 16th - 19th November
Post by: Michael Thomas on 17 November 2009, 12:56:47 PM
I would say that tomorrow should be better than today. I believe that there was a decent amount of surface based CAPE today, however, off the ranges CIN probably just choked the storms as they started to move off the higher ground. Either that or the storms were just collapsing due to the weak shear. Anyway, mid and upper level winds will be a bit stronger and more westerly than they were today which should improve storm organisation, also we have a SE change moving in which should kick things off. I just hope that a relative deep NE/E'ly can develop so that dp's remain in the 18-21C range.

Well nothing severe here but the lightning that went over to my east earlier provided a very nice look during daylight with lots of nice fork lightning hitting the ground and is still lighting things up well off the coast. Probably be a good view from one of the northern beaches lookouts at the moment.

Way too fast to hope to catch daylight shots but have just ordered a lightning trigger from eBay that should arrive in the next couple of weeks (watch the lightning dry up just like it did when I bought the camera last year). Hope it arrives before I have to go to Brisbane for a week in 2-3 weeks.

Still waiting for the front to come through properly and cool things down a bit more though!

Looking good on the radar at the moment a nice squall line is forming. The worst thing now is the low clouds are so thick at the moment that you cannot even take pictures. O well at least we will hear the thunder!

Some good storms have formed in Southeast QLD with severe storm warnings being issued for many locations, I have just read  reports of strong winds with one person  from Warwick saying that their kids trampoline has just be blown down the paddock. 2-3cm hail has been reported.


Some IC lightning at present with a severe cell moving in our direction.

Pity it looks as if the action has died off a bit though.

I note there's plenty of action and development south of Brisbane, but the further north you go, the more diluted it is. Despite this, there's been almost constant lightning and thunder for the last hour.

Currently 27.6C here with a humid northerly blowing. I hope the change comes through soon as conditions are quite uncomfortable.

Hey

I worked it out

Also what does everyone think of tommorow
The cape looks great and the dew point is in the low 20s around the Warick area at 4pm.
So if all stay good and the shear is reasonable it could be a good day for a chase

I went to Grafton today the Back way from Coffs. I intercepted the developing line pretty much 5 mins ahead of it in Grafton after core punching it around Glenreigh. It was High based and messy but got a bit better again near Junction Hill juat north of Grafton. Here I saw some massive pulsing flangs then got a barrage of marble hail for a few mins. I left it here as I needed to be at a friends Bday dinner. Was a fun little trip  ;D

That was one mighty storm that just passed. Some early reports of damage and I am  now waiting for confirmation to the extent of it . The IC and CGS were absolutely amazing. I have taken a couple hundred photos and just sorting through them, I have to download Irfan again to re-size the photos. I will  post a couple of the good ones when I am finished.

Finally the line that developed down near Grafton moved it's way north over Goonellabah putting out the odd nice CG along the way. This one looking towards Mcleans Ridges from Tregeagle

Hey

Some nice pics the Muriwllumbah storm was a good storm it arrived just as I finished school and then my bus had to drive through the middle of it through hail and all.

So is anybody going to be chasing tommorrow?
And if so where?

It looks like Warick could have some late storms due to high cape and a small cap with low 20 dewpoint

 Hopefully someone will have some more faith on where to go

Hey everyone

Today is lookin good with cape in the high 2000s and dps in the low 20s all with a small cap at Warick
Only problem is the low wind shear. But as we know form the 5th that you can get a good storm with low shear.

Is anybody else thinking of chasing today?
I am thinking of heading to Warick but would like to know where everone else thinks the action will be
as this is only my 2nd storm chase

Thanks Richary. I missed the first 3 all in between shots so nice to get one finally! Hopefully there will be some big storms when your up here.

I like the looks of today moreso than yesterday thanks to the SE'er pumping moisture inland overnight. Tenterfield - Inglewood - Warwick triangle would be my pick so far. Shear isn't too bad up there - sure a bit more strength would be nice (and a stronger jetstream) but what's there is enough for some severe storm organisation. The upper levels have dried out a bit too from yesterday so good chance of large hail. Hopefully some nice 'Downs' monsters are on the cards.

I was in Terranora for a meeting until 3pm EDT Tuesday 17th Nov, and just after that the Murwillumbah hailstorm developed.

I was able to head out near Kyogle after that. There were some nice bolts around with the sunset line through the Northern Rivers but the bolts were all over the place so hard to capture much.

The rain then hit so I drove home with a spectacular show of lightning the whole 40 minute drive - which magically stopped just when I was able to setup the camera again lol.

Wednesday 18th November I was able to take the day off work and head up to Warwick with Rodney Wallbridge. We met up with Matt Smith and Pingtang. It was rather hot to start with but the initial capey updrafts were nice.

(http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/thumbs/2009/1118mb10.jpg) (http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/photos/2009/1118mb10.jpg) (http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/thumbs/2009/1118mb11.jpg) (http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/photos/2009/1118mb11.jpg) (http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/thumbs/2009/1118mb13.jpg) (http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/photos/2009/1118mb13.jpg) (http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/thumbs/2009/1118mb16.jpg) (http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/photos/2009/1118mb16.jpg)

The sky ended up cluttered and fairly boring for a while but we remained in the area eventually settling on a lovely clear spot near Clifton. An area of congestus to the southwest had persisted and managed to develop enough towards sunset to give a great display of lightning. It was great to have a very slow moving cell with virtually no rain - sure made it easy to know where to point the camera - unlike the day before.

Hi guys,

Beautiful shots MB! Just stunning as always AND a nice sunset to boot! What more could you want :D

That is some explosive looking convection on that cell from the 18th. I hope you guys enjoyed the chase and everyone got a few great photos!

I'm eagerly awaiting to see something off the change (coming through SA currently), even a small partially active cell would be nice. Hopefully it will drop these ridiculous temps down to more bearable numbers lol!

43.6˚c here in Lightning Ridge today. Still sitting at 37.4˚c as of 8:31pm EDT.

Kindest regards,

Fantastic set there Guys! I looked out the window (from work) at 3pm on the 18th MB and I could see that cell directly above us.  By the time I got into position at 3.45pm there was not much left but I am curious what time did you take the updrafts from Clifton? I was reeling because the sun was hitting it from our side and perfect photo op's around 3pm. It was a sight looking straight up at it, I gotta tell ya!

Two shots from Warwick looking up at the strong updraft on Wednesday evening. Got some time lapse as well - will try and upload later.
