Hi all,

I have put an image of the temperature, wind direction, wind speed and
air pressure records for the last 24 hours from Lucas Heights at the
following address.

Fantastic snapshot of the Southerlay Buster!

Not sure. Sure enough, five minutes later they were taking off over me
rather than approaching! It did seem like a slightly inefficient way to
do things.

Hi Phil,

Essentially the amount of moisture in the air in front of the
advancing cold air.
When it is very humid, the uplifted air in front of the cold wedge
condenses and sometimes forms what looks like a cigar shaped roll
cloud, which was what I was hoping for, but it was very dry here
yesterday, so not much condensation at low level, so no roll cloud,
bummer.

Regards,
PC

Subject: [aussie-weather] monsoon trough and cyclone development

It's instructive,how this year (in ACT/NSW) the BoM are identifying the 
monsoon trough on the synoptic and prognostic chart.

Does anyone know whether the formation of cyclones is more likely to happen 
during the strengthening and consolidation phase of the monsoon trough's 
life span, or is it just as likely to happen during a decaying monsoon 
trough phase?

I know how you need an anticyclone aloft for cyclogenisis.

HI Michael,

Yes it is a national initiative (or directive as the Darwin BOM say!) of the
BOM to include the monsoon trough in their analysis charts.

The trough when in an active phase provides the right ingredients to aide in
cyclogenisis.

When its in a weak or "decaying" phase its just a pain in the ass!

Hello everyone,
Helen found this one, hope you like it.
Chas,
Strahan Tasmania

During the first part of Autumn, the Indians asked their Chief if the
winter was going to be cold or mild. Not really knowing the answer,
the
chief replied that the winter was going to be very cold and that the
members of the village were to collect wood to be prepared.

Being a good leader, he then went to a phone booth, called the
National
Weather Service and asked, "Is this winter going to be cold?" The man
on
the phone responded, "Yes, this winter will be quite cold indeed."

Hearing that, the Chief went back to speed up his people in their
efforts of collecting wood so that they would be prepared for the
coming
season.

A week later he again called the National Weather Service and asked,
"Is
it going to be a cold winter?" "Yes," the man replied, "it's going to
be
a very cold winter."

The Chief goes back to his people and orders them to go and find
every
scrap of wood they can find. Two weeks later he calls the National
Weather Service again: "Are you absolutely sure, without a doubt,
that
this winter is going to be very cold?"

"Absolutely" the man replies, "the Indians are collecting wood like
crazy!"

Subject: [aussie-weather] NSW January Storms...

This is a reminder for those in Sydney who have forgotten.  Next 
Saturday is the 10th anniversary of the January 1991 storm that 
damaged the northwestern and northern suburbs of Sydney.  Damage 
estimates were around the $560 million mark making it one of the most 
costly storms in Sydney's history.  Its main features were large hail 
(to around 7cm), destructive winds (up to the 230 km/hr mark) and 
extreme rainfall.  Some stations recorded in excess of 30mm in 6 
minutes, setting records.  There will be a weatherwatch meeting at 
Macquarie University on wednesday, January 31 for those interest.
While on the topic of storms, tomorrow's trough in eastern NSW looks 
like one to watch for severe storms.
Hector.

Dry yesterday? It was actually pretty humid, especially for a day with
temperatures over 40. Matt Smith noted that at one stage Quakers Hill had
an air temp of 42, and a dewpoint of 21!

Well, a dewpoint of 21C at 1015mb is about 15g/kg.
At 42C at 1015mb saturation is 55g/Kg.
So, humidity is 15/55 = 27.3%.
I would call that dry.

G'day Adam + All, just a quick addition to Adams posting. The storms through
northern  NSW were indeed quite big around 5pm, with several tops in the
50000'+ bracket. Spotted several significantly overshooting tops and
backshearing anvils. These extended from south of Charleville to near
Stanthorpe. Hopefully things may indeed work out for SE Qld tomorrow.

Subject: [aussie-weather] Wednesday outlook?

I noticed that the BoM are now going for chance of a storm in Sydney for
Wednesday (which will be today in a few minutes!), latest AVN (9pm) has the
following progged for 6Z:

Sydney Metro:
1500 J/kg CAPE 
-4 to -6 LI

Although the real winner is between Glen Innes and Kempsey...
2700 J/kg CAPE
-8 LI
500mb temp is -11
20-30% RH at 500mb
80-90% RH at 850mb

Not sure about the winds yet, I will check with the next AVN run in the
morning.

However, may I please quote the usual 'BRING IT ON'?  :)

Yep, tomorrow certainly looks interesting for vast areas of eastern
Australia. I think Sydney definitely has the potential to go off, but it
will depend on what the cloud does overnight. If we wake up to clear skies
or at least clearing skies, then tomorrow afternoon is going to be one to
remember.

OK, enough of the games:

Caught an interesting radio segment a little before 6pm on ABC Brisbane 4QR
late this afternoon featuring - Anthony Cornelius - Storm Chaser - with
over 10 minutes of air time!

Actually, he did a great job, with some nice plugs for the ASWA, including
the website URL, and the Brisbane Storm Chasers website, plenty of
informative discussion of various aspects of storm chasing and severe
weather, including the value of good liason between storm chasers and the
BoM to allow severe thunderstorm warnings to be issued quickly and to add
to the knowledge base about severe weather.

All in all a very good segment!

Keep up the good work!

Regards,
Carl.

Hi Ben,

While others might disagree with me, I thought the Sydney PBL was dryish
(although not hugely dry).  But I would not consider 20C DP's an
accurate representation of the PBL moisture in Sydney yesterday.

Subject: [aussie-weather] 'New' Meteorological Parameters 

Greetings to you all. This is my first posting. I have been a keen 
amateur in all things meteorological since the late sixties and I 
think that these groups are a fantastic thing.

What I have wondered for many years is why can't other 
characteristics of the weather be presented apart from the usual 
max/min temps, rain and wind data etc.?

When I lived in the Middle East I was very interested to note that 
the daily papers there always published, along with the usual weather 
stats, daily max and min HUMIDITY readings. I have never seen such 
figures in Australia or New Zealand.

Australian Bureau of Meteorology climate data always gives the 
highest minima and the lowest maxima for any period, whereas in New 
Zealand the weather office did (or does?) not. I wish I knew why 
because 'coldest day' and 'warmest night' data is always of interest 
to me.

I would also like to see data on the highest temperature during which 
rainfall of, say, one millimetre or more falls in a given place. In 
other words, how WARM can actual rain get sometimes?

And what about chilly but sunny days in December thru March? 
Forgetting the cold and cloudy summer days, it interests me how cool 
some of the sunny ones can be here in Melbourne, for example, given 
the huge amounts of solar radiation available at that time of year.

Conversely, of course, I wonder just how hot it can get without 
sunshine in the summertime? A few days ago, for example, Melbourne 
reached 36 degrees under a cloudy-to-overcast sky. I found that 
intriguing. This one would also be of interest in wintertime, of 
course.

I'm also interested in the percentage of rain that falls in still air 
compared to that which falls in windy conditions. There's a bit of 
weather lore in some places that says it can't (or won't) rain much 
when it's windy too. I know that's not always true, but is it even 
partially true?

The number of days per year when the normal diurnal variation is 
reversed, with maximum temps being recorded in the small hours and 
minimum temps being registered in the afternoon, would also be 
interesting to know about. Linked to this, figures on actual 
temperature RISES between sunset and sunrise would be noteworthy.

The highest temperature during which snow or snow flakes are observed 
to fall would be another one. (I remember once in NZ when, in very 
dry air, light snowflakes fell on me in a temperature of +7 degrees 
C!)    

There's probably a few more I haven't remembered, but maybe some 
other members might like to add their bit and/or comments too.

BILL LEES.

The approaching jetstream is rapidly destabilising the middle levels 
over eastern NSW. Thunderstorms are likely to be numerous even if it 
remains fairly cloudy. If we so get the extra warming then severe 
storms look very likely.

AVN has the upper trough dropping the 500 temps by 4 degrees from -10 to
-14 this evening over Syd Met/Hunter.
This would explain the -9 LI forecast this evening over the place....and
the Jet looks great !
Should be very interesting !!!
Woohoo !

Subject: [aussie-weather] MY Wedding Vs. Saturday!

This Saturday, I'm taking the vows!

I'm looking at the weather predictions for this Saturday and am wondering 
what people think it's gonna be like. I personally, don't mind it being too 
warm... but the "possible thunderstorms" will have to go. We'll be married 
in Kilsyth, Victoria (near the Dandenong mountains).

Anyone got any extra predicted details other than those displayed at the BOM 
site?
(ie:
Saturday
Mainly fine.                                Min 20    Max 36
)

Thanks!
Simon "gonna have a ring on my finger"

Oh dear - that's a corny one.

Well Simon,

Remember, if you see a huge overhanging tower with enormous overshoot go up 
outside just as you're about to make your vows, before you jump into your 
car and leave the bride stranded, ask yourself whether the storm you chase 
will be worth the storm you'll face when you get back ;-)

Best luck,
Tom

Hello all,

Wednesday 11.15 am - storm cell developing to the west of the Glasshouse
Mountains, SE QLD. I can see it from my back door. May be worth a check on
radar during the afternoon.

Perhaps a chase and some pics today.

Anyone coming up, let me know.

I will take some shots and put them up later. Here's hoping it's a good one!

Subject: [aussie-weather] high Queensland obs..

Certainly worth looking at the 3pm Queensland Bulletin today, as the
Queensland record
January high maximum temperature of 
48.0C	Birdsville	22 January, 1988 could be under very real pressure
(47C last two days
at Thargomindah Ap), with temperatures running a little ahead of yesterday. 
The all months record of 49.5	Birdsville	24 December, 1972 looks
pretty safe at this stage - though not impossible.
Tonight could also place the January record high minimum of 33.0C (also
Birdsville) under pressure.

One certainly has to give credit to this heat wave, as records have been
broken/seriously challenged across WA, SA, Vic, NSW and Queensland.

Cheers,

David.

Hi all

A thunderstorm is situated on the Border Ranges WNW of Kyogle and is moving
roughly NE.  This *could* be the start of bigger things.

Oh yeah...the BoM just issued us an STA:

BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
Queensland Region
Brisbane Office

PRIORITY
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ADVICE
Issued by the Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
at 3:38pm EST on Wednesday the 17th of January 2001

for the South-east Coast district.

The Bureau of Meteorology advises people of the possibility of severe
thunderstorms with damaging winds and possible hail to pass across the
South-east
Coast district overnight.

If severe thunderstorms develop then severe thunderstorm warnings will be
issued.

Updated information will be issued throughout the [6] on radio and will be
available by telephone on
1196 for the cost of a local call and on 1900 969 921 at 77 cents per
minute.

People in the threatened areas should consider what action they may need to
take
to prevent injuries and minimise damage if severe thunderstorms develop.

Righto...might be time to get out of work-mode and into chaser-mode!!!

Subject: [aussie-weather] Extreme weather data in real time

Hi Folks

I've made a major change to the national weather extremes statistics
presented on each day's news page on Australian Weather News. This
section is now computer generated, and carries much more information
than before. 

The sections on heavy rainfall and peak wind gusts are the most
improved.

All 24 hour rainfall reports nationwide exceeding 50mm are now listed,
while the new "High short duration rainfall" section provides a very
detailed analysis of heavy rain from periods of a few minutes to a few
hours. It is drawn from over 20,000 observations received each day
from the Bureau of Meteorology's entire automatic and observer weather
station network.

Winds likely to cause damage are now listed in the "Highest wind
gusts" section, drawn from all Australian AWS reports -- about 15,000
daily. The highest gust exceeding 90km/h or sustained wind of 63km/h
or more (gale force) is listed for each station. Monday's southerly
buster up the NSW coast gave this new section a real workout.

The automation of the National Weather Extremes makes it easier to
update with the all- important postal rainfall returns sent in to the
Bureau by over 5000 volunteer observers each month. I have found this
task impossible to do manually. Though these readings are not
available until a month or two after the event, they provide a
fascinating insight into locally heavy rainfall, and I don't think
most list members have access to them, or even know they exist. These
important readings, which have had very limited distribution in the
past, will now be available thanks to the Bureau of Meteorology's SILO
system and the new AWN program.

Place names are now listed with their area name, which will help users
who don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Australian geography. A
quality control tag at the top of each day's National Weather Extremes
indicates what stage of accuracy and detail the data has reached. Take
care with early data -- the same programs that find extreme weather
values are also very good at picking up observer errors and AWS
malfunctions!

I hope to get the program working automatically soon, to make the
information available in real time. The real-time synoptic and AWS
observations are still available, but only have a one-week archive.
This new summary will stay in the daily archives, and I'll gradually
extend the information backwards in time.

Any comments on ways this section can be improved would be keenly
listened to.

Cheers

Just looking at Brisbane local scale precip radar, it appears that the
township of Kyogle is copping a hiding.  Large areas showing reflectivity
in the 100mm/hr range...

STW in effect for the area between Rathdowney and the Gold Coast.

This storm has exploded to epic proportions visually from here - absolutely

The severe storm that dissipated around Beaudesert before looked excellent
visually as well

There are 2 or 3 chasers around the Beaudesert area

Casion has been slaughtered by a severe storm, with the AWS reporting a rain
rate close to 190mm/h and 44 knot wind gusts.  I can't get radar from either
the BOM or ASWA, but the storm that just crossed the NSW/QLD border appears
to be weakening, however more storms are going up as i write this email!

BRING IT

Subject: Re: [aussie-weather] CASINO MONSTER!!!


Hi all!!
Well I’ve just gotten back from a HUGE storm at Casino in NE NSW. Went on 
the chase with Michael Bath so he can give you all the technical jargon 
later (as I’m new to this all) but I can tell you this. I was one big 
storm!!!!! The gust front was amazing and the structure was excellent. To 
the NE of this storm was another which was a supercell that had split. 
Anyway, we raced through Casino trying to avoid the storm but it was just 
too big and too quick!!! Initially we got hit with strong winds and rain but 
the rain got heavy even though we thought we were getting away. Debris from 
trees began falling and hitting the car! We stopped as we couldn’t see very 
far in front and then the real wind began! It was really gusting and then we 
heard the loud clangs of what turned out to be 5-7cm hail (poor MB’s car!). 
This ended up persisting for about 15mins. I jumped out of the car to get a 
hail stone before it melted too much which was a little silly as all the 
rain ended up in MB’s car! The wind at one stage began to lift the car. As 
the storm began to leave the damage was revealed! Trees down, powerlines 
down, even houses without rooves!!!! We stooped of to measure hail and check 
out the damage. One incredible storm! Here’s some pics with my cheapo digi 
but nothing really of the actually storm! Sorry for this very untechnical 
report but I’m sure Michael will fill you in.

Subject: [aussie-weather] Interesting Sydney tonight

Hi all

Sorry for the duplicate email for those on both lists - I typed in the wrong
address before...

For those that may not be able to access Sydney radar at the moment, it is
looking very very interesting to the south of the city. Storms are rapidly
developing on the south coast and moving northwards, with heavy showers
developing all over the Illawarra. These are forming on the axis of a
secondary upper level trough, and are being aided by convergence of very
moist E/NE winds onto the NSW coast. In my opinion, and sorry to be the one
to have to do this again, this has been very poorly detected by the BoM, as
this upper trough has been on the cards for at least a day. Evening storms
were looking very likely to me since at least yesterday as in my email last
night. It is going to be a very interesting next few hours in Sydney town,
and I feel that some quite useful totals of rain will have amounted by this
time tomorrow.

Matt

Subject: [aussie-weather] Large scale upper divergence.

Hi all tropoholics.
There is an interesting very large area of upper divergence (350 to 200hpa)
across northern WA tonight and moving westward,the low to mid convergence is
rather weak and disorganised at the moment,it will be interesting to see how
this area of upper divergence will react with any intensified lower level
convergence areas over open sea northwest of WA during the next 24 to 48
hours worth keeping a close look at. regards Clyve Herbert.

Heyas,

Well a great night in Sydney. Has been the first widespread storm system of
the year here. Actually it is the first for awhile. The lighting as you
heard has been great. I have returned from a drive where i observed some
very strobey lighting and lots of mountain mist being sucked up into the
storm.
At Blaxland we have recieved a few downpours, at Matt said. I recieved some
pea size hail a few times, and it has been raining solidly for an hour.
Reports of 3-4cm hail have been drifting in on radio from the Ryde area from
an earlier storm. Looks like a thundery night ahead.

Hi all

What a brilliant day/night!!!!!!

Words can't express how good it was.

4pm: Left for Beaudesert - on the way a backsheared anvil on the Border
Ranges just got better and better and better
(here's a shot sent in to me:
http://www.bsch.au.com/seqstorms/photos2/170101/Picture%20016.jpg)
- south of Beaudesert I saw the rotating wall cloud and very fast upward
moving scud, numerous CGs
- soon in torrential rain - couldn't see;  hail up to 1.5cm - would have
been bigger by the sound other stones made on the car; winds about 45kn;
awesome rainbow; trees uprooted (as reported to me by Anthony C)
- storm weakened coming off the ranges

Met up with Anthony soon after and went to a back road watching the
activity - looked brilliant towards sunset...some weak activity cleared and
there it was - a chunky/crispy backsheared anvil over NW NSW (the Casino
cell).  The anvil exhibited signs of rotation.  Pics galore.
- this storm soon produced a brilliant lightshow with heaps of CAs and
several CGs.

At that time congestus was going up to the west and NW...

Soon lightning was apparent in that direction, and also the S, SSE, SE, ENE,
E, NE, N

A couple of hours later lightning was seen to the SSW (lightning was in
almost every other direction too) and soon the lightning overhead and to the
SSW increased to epic proportions.  Honestly, there wasn't a moment when
lightning was not occurring.  It was continuous.  I got word of a STW for
this line and as it got close I went to a servo at Beaudesert.

The magnificent shelf cloud was soon upon the area and winds steadily
increased from the SSW, but then it hit - torrential rain, small hail and
winds of at least 45kn once again.  I was undercover but the sideways-rain
soaked me instantly!  Flangs (damn close CGs) were occurring every 5-10
seconds.  After 8-10mins of this it eased off, but the awesome lightning
remained.  At this time my camcorder battery died and I went back out to try
some lightning stills.

All the way back home along the Mt Lindsay Highway there were
branches/leaves, and one stray dog which I luckily avoided :-)

Lightning is still occurring as I type this.  Wow what a day!

Hopefully a thousand piccies and some video captures soon in a huge yellow
pages-type chase report!

Regards
James Chambers

Just now (2:30am) i am sitting in my computer chair watching an electrical
storm go nuts about 15-20km's to my ENE.  In the last 5 minutes i have seen
half a dozen CLEAR AIR cg's from the very top of the storm striking the
ground well away from the storm itself.  Lightning frequency is around 1
every 1-2 seconds.

There is also another line of storms currently moving through Toowoomba
heading eastish - my view in the direction is poor, but i can see flashes up
to 3 times a second (strobing) and increasing

The electrical storm Jason Rainforest and i experienced near the Gold Coast
tonight cannot be explained in words.  The lightning was SO FREQUENT that it
was like daytime.  Mind blowing

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but some sleep would be nice BRING IT ON
ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Subject: [aussie-weather] Severe Hailstorm

Hi Everyone,

During the early hours of this morning a wild hailstorm carved a path of
damage through the SE suburbs of Redcliffe.   Hail up to TENNIS BALL size
was reported by several residents.  There was also evidence of very strong
winds and heavy rainfall.

One house has had ALL of its windows smashed.

I photographed 5cm hail myself, over 45 minutes after the hail fell !

I was at Caboulture when the storm struck, and the lightning was once again
mind blowing, with flashes and or strokes up to  3 times a second.

Subject: [aussie-weather] Redcliffe

I didn't have any large hail at my place, although at times it sound like
some small stuff was hitting the roof. As I was driving down Elizabeth ave
this morning I could definetly see a line where it went from a no damage
area, to one where there had been hail, thanks to the leaves on the road. I
also think there may have been a tornadic damage path about 100m long
crossing Elizabeth Avenue near the southern end of Clontarf Beach State high
School.

Note the branches down on the corner of the street nearby.

There was a lot of lightning strikes, some within 500m of my location.

David

Subject: [aussie-weather] CASINO HAILSTORM & more hail

Hi all,

Just a brief note to say I experienced, along with Dave Ellem the most 
violent storm I can every remember yesterday afternoon at Casino in NE NSW.

We were chasing and were in an ideal position between the (soon to become) 
supercell coming up from the Clarence (to the S) and the splitting storm 
pair (identified by Jonty on radar) NW of us (likely another supercell). 
However our options were limited when this cell to our south developed into 
one of the largest I've ever observed, rapidly intensifying and spreading 
in a more northerly track from its original NE one. The guster on it was 
truly awesome, almost touching the ground over a 10km front from E to W. We 
tried to keep ahead of it, but it caught us and we were slammed on the 
cell's N then W flank from 6.10pm.  At first the winds were up to 50 knots 
from the S and SSW as the gust front ripped into town - we were very 
quickly heading north out of town at the time. Immediately branches, dust 
and debris hit our car following by intense bursts of rain. We stopped a 
few ks up the Summerland Way in an area free of trees because visibility 
was just so low - less than 5 metres at times. Hail then struck from the 
same direction, up to about 4cm at our location but with some larger stones 
I think. Lightning was very close, very hard to tell though - there were 
'flangs' but it was just so noisy from the intense rain and hail, the 
thunder was barely audible, just the flashes were glimpsed.

It was amazing how long the severe weather lasted. Over 15 minutes of 
intense bursts of rain and hail with winds now swinging to the NE and much 
stronger, over 120km/h I estimate with branches flying everywhere and some 
trees down, and visibility almost zero at times. We had edged S a bit 
hoping to get out of the cell sooner, but it seemed to last for ages and 
was quite scary at times. As Dave said it felt like the car was going to 
tip over at one stage. We did keep clear of large gum trees.

When it finally eased we drove south back into town and witnessed the 
devastation, with most of the houses in town affected by hail, water 
damage, roofs off or damaged by falling trees and limbs. There was roofing 
iron ripped off and wrapped around trees and other objects. We collected 
hailstones from a few locations and measured it as 6cm diameter. Reports 
this morning indicate hail up to 10cm fell nearby. On the eastern part of 
Casino, powerlines were down on the Bruxner Highway near where a house had 
its roof missing. We managed to pass the lines and return home though.

I'll provide much more detailed descriptions of the storm structure later 
with the photos, but needless to say it was a very large High Precipitation 
supercell.

During the evening another large area of storm activity spread in with 
another gust front about 9pm. Lightning was several per second. Rainfall 
rates have been huge from this with over 100mm at some Northern Rivers 
sites, but I don't know if any hail fell in this second storm.

This morning at 6.10am a cell shot up over my place at McLeans Ridges 
spitting out enormous raindrops and brief intense rain followed by 1-1.5cm 
diameter hail out the back as the storm edged ENE !!

regards, Michael

Hi Sel,

Indeed there was, lightning activity was observed all around Brisbane
all through the night, from 6:00pm to 6:00am.  Peak local activity
at Mt. Crosby was around 3:45am with a very impressive almost continuous
display overhead.  The kind of lightning you can read a book by.  A few
massive CG's just to complement the overall effect.

Only 13.6mm of rain though, which is rather less than I might have
expected in the circumstances.  I'm sure many other suburbs would
have done much better.  Most of the Gold Coast seemed to get 3 to
4 inches out the storms there.

Reckon we are on again this arvo.

John.
>snip

Hello all,

Wednesday 11.15 am - storm cell developing to the west of the Glasshouse
Mountains, SE QLD. I can see it from my back door. May be worth a check on
radar during the afternoon.

Perhaps a chase and some pics today.

Anyone coming up, let me know.

I will take some shots and put them up later. Here's hoping it's a good one!

Subject: [aussie-weather] Damage reports now filtering in - nasty nasty storms

Hi Everyone,

For those interested, here are some stats on last nights storms

1 person was killed after walking on a live powerline, and 18 others have
been injured (most by hail i'm guessing?)

Approx 120 houses on the Gold Coast damaged by hail or strong winds.  Areas
suffering the most damage include Palm Beach, Nerang and Ashmore.

27 homes at Woody Point (SE suburb of Redcliffe) suffered hail damage.  One
of these houses, which i personally saw, had almost every single window
broken.  I spoke at length with the owners, and they were confident that the
hail was at least tennis ball size.  The house is right on the extreme SE
edge of Redcliffe, and going by radar i would think it's possible that
bigger hail was falling offshore, and they were unlucky enough to get the
edge of it.

23 homes in the Mt Nebo and Samford area suffered hail damage.  Hail size in
this area is unknown, but you would think it would have to be of a decent
size to damage houses!

A scattering of reports from Beenleigh, SE Logan and Beaudesert including
flooding, water entering houses and extensive tree damage.

Some photos i took of the hail at Woody Point this morning

http://bsch.au.com/temp/freezer2.jpg
http://bsch.au.com/temp/ruler.jpg

The max size there is 4cm.  I found plenty of 5cm stones, but in all the
excitement i managed to stuff up half the close up shots, like this one

http://bsch.au.com/temp/hail10.jpg

There are quite a few shots in this directory

http://bsch.au.com/temp/

Including a very nice shelf cloud on a hail storm around 7am this morning

Of course every man and his dog was out taking photos, and these will be
added or linked to from BSCH over the next few days as they come in

A small tropical storm can be seen developing at  12 south 83 east (approx),
has some marked anticyclonic outflow on the western edge should move
southwest away from the Australian region, an area worth watching though is
the region west of Broome with a marked upper divergence field and a better

Subject: [aussie-weather] Severe storms in Nthn NSW this week

Included below are two newspaper reports (from the 18/1/2001 Northern 
Daily Leader - Tamworth) on severe storms in Northern Inland NSW this 
week.

Rhett Blanch

Freak hail storm hits Nundle
Donna Hurley 
STORMS continued to threaten Nundle late yesterday as SES emergency 
workers worked to mop up from a wild downpour which took the town by 
surprise earlier that day. 

A quick call around to local residents revealed reports of broken 
branches, leaking rooves and heavy hail falls with stones measuring 
up to ten centimetres in diametre.

South Nundle resident Max Middlebrook said he has lived in the

community for 32 years and it was the worst he has seen.

"In a space of about 12 to 15 minutes the rain gauge reached 50 
millimetres.

"Boy did it rip it down, the wind with it was between 80 to 100 miles 
and hour.

"It bent our rows of corn growing out the back and the ground was 
fully covered in hail, it banked up to three and four inches in 
places," he said.

"To me, although only short lived, it was the most severe I've seen," 
he said.

Nundle SES deputy controller Joy Carr said the back door of the SES 
headquarters was blown in when the storm raged into the town at 
around 3.30pm.

"We've had some damage to rooves and water damage reported and there 
was a lot of hail which caused the roads to ice which on its own can 
be a problem.

"We've had about five reports of water getting into houses but 
another storm could be coming in it's still rumbling around out there.

"We're trying to secure rooves so water can't get in," she said.

Mrs Carr said the wind blew the rain in a horizontal direction and 
while the gauge read 27 millimetres she estimated considerably more 
had fallen due to observations of running water. 

Thunderstorms do damage
By Rhonda Turner 
A LIGHTNING and thunder spectacle in Moree and district on Tuesday 
night has acted as a timely reminder the region is in the midst of 
its severe thunderstorm season.

NorthPower spokesman John Sheather said the electrical storm, which 
originated near Inverell at 4pm before moving towards Moree and on to 
Goondiwindi, was the worst experienced in the region this season.

Mr Sheather said a number of customers had been left without power 
after the storm affected eight feeder lines, broke cross arms and 
sent conductors crashing to the ground.

Although only a few fallen trees were reported to the Moree State 
Emergency Service, Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) officer-in-charge at 
Moree Don Rooke said the storm had delivered 38 knot winds before 
shutting the office's weather system down.

Mr Rooke said determining the maximum wind speed produced was 
therefore impossible but high-speed winds, including up to 67 knots 
measured on January 6, had been recorded during recent storms in the 
area.

According to Moree-based BOM observer Daniel Hayes, the dramatic 
display peaked with welcomed rain shortly after 11pm.

Significant falls were recorded throughout the region including 50mm 
at Mungindi, 36mm at Croppa Creek, 35mm at Boggabilla, 31mm at Boomi 
and 30mm at Warialda. Unfortunately he said Moree received just 11mm 
for its pains.

The violent storm was also responsible for igniting two grass fires 
near the hamlet of Gurley south of Moree.

Moree Rural Fire Service inspector Matthew Smith said the Gurley Fire 
Brigade had attended both fires with a total of 25ha burnt out before 
the fires were extinguished.

Constable Michael Kelly of the Mungindi police said very strong winds 
had blown down some trees in the town with council spending most of 
yesterday removing debris left by the storm.

The BOM said the forecast for the north-west slopes and plains today 
was for isolated showers and thunderstorms mainly in the east. 

There was no mention of severe storms.

Subject: [aussie-weather] Gold Coast Storms

Hi All.

As already mentioned by others, we had some ripper storms come through the
Gold Coast last night.

The afternoon one that started near Kyogle bypassed us here and died up
near Beaudesert somewhere, however the view S was quite spectacular, and
continued to become more so as light was fading - this was the storm
hitting Casino.

As the storms were closing in a little before 7, the lightning show was
truly spectacular, with lots of neat lightning fingers crawling over the
approaching clouds, and lots of ground strikes as it got closer.

About 7pm, the storm system seemed to divide, with large cells passing E
and W of us, but putting on a great show all the same, with lots of ground
strikes from both directions, many hitting within a km or so.

When this lot had all gone past it was obvious another lot was coming up
from the S.

By 8:30, the huge cloud mass spanning the southern sky was lit with
virtually continuous lightning and the thunder was an interesting mix of
continuous rumbles and thumps - the approaching storm was really firing up!

Soon, with it looking wierdly like fluctuating daylight outside and the
ongoing symphony of continuous noise, I could not resist the temptation,
and went outside into the driveway to have a last quick look at the sky
before it hit, and with the strong winds pouring out from under the storm
whipping the trees, what an awesome sight it was with a continuous display
of thousands of lightning fingers streaming up across the faces of the
cloud masses spanning the S and extending out along the overhanging anvil
well beyond overhead!

After an all too brief eyeball at this amazing light and sound show my
self-preservation instincts started to kick in and I thought that it might
be a good idea to get back into the house, and becoming aware I could feel
electricity in the air I started towards the house in rather a hurry, when
suddenly I saw a bright flash, felt the shock wave, and heard the really
loud crash - don't know what it hit but it seemed to somewhere in the
grounds of the neighbouring complex, possibly a metal light pole about 30
metres from our house - I just about did a power-dump in my pants and got
back into the house in record time!

Then the torrential rain arrived - I guess we had several inches in the
next 30 minutes - and the lightning show continued to be truly spectacular,
even though much of it was more in the nature of nearly continuous vista of
rose, orange, or blue coloured glowing areas through the rain, however
there were many nearby strikes I could see through the rain and afterwards,
with some hitting in the adjacent park and one really spectacular one that
hit a cyclone fence about 100 metres away between our complex and the park
- dozens of streamers seemed to be coming up from the fence area and
stretching hundreds of feet into the air and converging and the big one hit
the fence in the middle of it all with a huge crash.

At one point I looked out the main doorway of the house towards the
driveway, and suddenly there was a simultaneous flash and crash - I saw it
hit the metal street light pole right outside the house! (just about time
for another change of underdaks!)

There seemed to be at least 3 waves of thunderstorms in this last group, as
one lot was retreating N the next lot would arrive, continuing until around
10, and the retreating storms put on a great lightning show for a long time
afterwards.

I am sure the reports from the lads that went chasing in SE Qld will have
some interesting stories and some stunning images as they get them all
uploaded.

Regards,
Carl.

Subject: Re: [aussie-weather] Severe storms in Nthn NSW this week

Hi Rhett and everyone

Myself and James Harris went chasing yesterday, and ended up at Quirindi
where we watched the first tower for the day explode and develope just
South of town. It developed and we chased it towards Nundle and arrived at
the town about 30 minutes after it had hit. Widespread hail drifts all
through town, and I commented to James how it was odd that hail cores
always seem to dump on a town in the middle of no where, and no where else
:P
Hail was found to 2cm, but no doubt  it was probably 3 or so before we got
there. (This is peanuts compared to what Michael Bath encountered!) Tree
litter was everywhere in the town, as to be expected. We also came across
severe microburst damage in some fields, with tree's snapped off  1/3 of
the way up, and many large branches down across fields and on the road we
were driving on. All were facing the same direction, hence the conclusion
of a microburst.

As we approached the storm we saw an awesome dust devil whip up on a dirt
area on the side of a road.It woould have been only 50 metres away. It
must have spun up as outflow gusting to 27 knots (measured with the
kestral) came across the town we were in at the time. Rotation was extreme
on the ground and would easily have done damage to tree's/house/whatever
if it had hit anything. No photos as it lasted about 10 seconds. doh !

Anyway im glad the upper trough came through like the models said last
night and gave some thunder and lightning to most area's, (not much rain
here in burwood, seems the storms mainly developed on the ranges around
the metro area.)

Ill write a more detailed chase report later for those that want to read
it.
