I won't be online all day but if there is a potential near Sydney later I may be able to join the chase (perhaps if Dave is thinking of heading out later on). Otherwise I'll keep watch here in N. Ryde. - Tomorrow might be better around here - fortunately, I have some spare time tomorrow afternoon so if there is something I'll be able to have a look - I just wish there was a good hill around here where I could also take shelter from lightning and rain. - Paul G.

Unfortunately, it looks like another uneventful day in this area (at least 6 weeks since last saw lightning). A few scattered Cu developing but with very high bases and little inclination for vertical development. The lack of moisture (Temp 20, DP of 8) and NW winds don't offer much prospect of any real improvement. The Wagga sounding is the last hope when it becomes available... Good luck to those heading north from Sydney!!

The BOM just issued a amended forecast which says that a south westerly change will move through in the late afternoon. They expect the winds on the bay to swing to the north west in the afternoon, they still expect showers and thunderstorms with the change, god knows, maybe something will happen.

There should be something in that general area. Unless something dramatic happens, I think it is a bust. The cold front in Victoria may have had an impact on the conditions. Although the general rule is that if cumulus develop quickly and early, they won't do anything.

AVN 98101718z run has a nice large bulls-eye of rain in the NSW northern inland with a max of 18mm in the 6 hours to 12z tonight, then continues with varying amounts of rain across SE Qld right through until Tuesday. NOGAPS concurs, though it brings the rain a bit further south into NSW on Monday. I haven't got rainfall output for the other models. However, GASP, EC, AVN, yesterdays MRF and NOGAPS all bring a very substantial airmass change into SA/Vic/Southern NSW during Monday, with the 536 thickness pushing right up to the NSW/Vic border between about 12z Monday and 00z Tuesday. EC (base 12z last night) has the 532 line across Kangaroo Is on Monday night. AVN (base 18z this morning) puts 850 temps of -3 to -4 across Victoria during Monday night, and the zero line well into northern NSW. This is consistent with yesterday's 00z MRF, which pushed the 528 thickness up to about Albury at 00z on Tuesday. Yesterday's MRF also had a large area of tot-tots >55 for 00z tomorrow, amplifying N and E for Tuesday, with quite a few splotches of >60 on the map. Also interesting in the longer term is the MRF interpretation of the scene after this next airmass change goes through. On its +144 hour panels (Friday 00z), it deepens the Qld trough, and gives most of inland Qld >30mm of rain for the 24 hours, with central areas getting >80mm. This looks believable, given its treatment of the precipitable water late in the week, with a pool of >60mm south of the Gulf of Carpentaria. The MRF 10 day rain forecast is going for falls in excess of 150mm in SE Qld for the period Thurs 29/10 to Tues 3/11.

Hi Nick Sounds like a nice Bay seabreeze. I remember many years ago arriving in Melbourne on the ferry from Tasmania. All across the Bay, and right up to the time we pulled alongside the wharf, it was cold enough to need a thick jumper when standing on deck. Then the northwesterly that was blowing strengthened and blew out the area of cool air around us, and I swear the temperature increased 15 degrees C almost instantly. I've also experienced the dramatic temperature contrast across the Bass Strait seabreeze front while riding a motorbike west along the Great Ocean Road around Port Campbell. One moment, I'd be in a light southerly, and shivering under leathers, jumper and t-shirt. Next, I'd be in a fresh northerly, and sweating despite the airflow around me. Then back in, and out... After a while I could visualise this massive curtain of colder air on my left, hotter on my right, and me riding through the folds in the curtain. It would be fascinating to do a micro scale study of this -- or has it already been done, especially as part of the various studies of the Port Philip eddy? -- Laurier Williams Australian Weather Links and News http://www.ozemail.com.au/~wbc/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: wbc at ozemail.com.au (Laurier Williams) To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Subject: Re: aussie-weather: Soundings Date: Sun, 25 Oct 1998 04:02:34 GMT Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by penman.es.mq.edu.au id PAA18195 On Sun, 25 Oct 1998 14:36:12 +1100, you wrote: >Hi Jimmy, > Andrew McDonald from Melbourne here.

A fine day with cloudy periods and a moderate westerly however a significant cool change overnight hopefully will bring some showers and this should extend towards the eastern states. I was reading with interest Laurier Williams account of variations in temperature in Melbourne and around the bay as well as along the Great Ocean Road. Similar extremes in temperature can occur in Adelaide compared with the south coast less than 50 miles away. This tends to occur in Summer with an easterly breeze blowing overland to Adelaide giving temperatures over 35C and cloudless skies, yet at the same time along the South Coast eg Victor Harbor there is a breeze right off the ocean and the temperature may be less than 20c and it may even be overcast with coastal cloud.

This from the Extended Period Forecast for the SW Land Division from BoM During Tuesday, the west coast trough should deepen. East of the trough, a combination of increasing mid level instability, and increasing moisture extending south from the Gascoyne, should result in the development of scattered showers and thunderstorms. FORECASTS FOR THE SW LAND DIVISION: Monday: On the south coast, drizzle areas contracting east. Patchy rain developing in northern parts of the Central West District. Fine elsewhere. Rising temperatures near the west coast. Tuesday: Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms developing in central and eastern parts.

Williamtown also seemed to show a similar trace above about 4000m with the DP close the the ELR probably indicating the moisture associated with this morning's cloudiness. On the other hand, Wagga seemed unaffected by cloud and seemed to show significant mid-level dry air but only a shallow subsidence inversion. Possibly temperatures in the high 20's could have produced something here. A similar sort of trace was apparent for Laverton (near Melbourne) showing significant mid-level dry air associated with subsidence - possibly there was a layer of cloud near this level with the DP close to the ELR near the inversion. Upper level winds didn't seem to be terribly significant in the traces I looked at. Mount Gambier showed the strongest upper level winds probably asssociated with the advancing front. Perhaps we'll have more luck tomorrow in terms of storm activity as the front approaches? - Paul G. ---------------------------- Paul Graham m3052695 at hardy.ocs.mq.edu.au ---------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "paulmoss" To: Subject: Re: aussie-weather: SW Qld Date: Sun, 25 Oct 1998 18:28:59 +1100 X-Msmail-Priority: High X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3155.0 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com For a different view, check out this pic!

I don't know how genuine this report is but apparently there was still some hail left sitting there up to 24 hrs later so I guess it must've been pretty deep. The hail also stripped trees/plants of leaves due to it's size. Just thought you might like to know that. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
