Subject: aus-wx: Happy Spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,

Happy Spring everyone!!!  May your thunderstorms be rotating, and your
hail be denting (but not too denting...), may the CGs carve their images
into your eyes and may all your chases be successful.

And what a better way to open up the first day of spring with a chance
of storms!  It looks like the storms will form further west of here
though (ie, Downs), and then move over late tomorrow as storms and
rain.  The timing of the trough for SE QLD is not quite ideal, it looks
to come through early Sunday - so that is a little annoying, but oh
well.

Shear is impressive, but not quite as strong as last week, 20-25kn NW  at 
850, 40-45kn NW  at  700, 40-45kn WNW  at  500, 120kn WNW  at  300 - but we're on
the wrong position of the jet (northern edge), I prefer to be on the
southern edge - it also means are air is colder at 300.  But the 500
temps will once again be quite cold (high negative teens), and DPs were
up to the mid teens this evening, but have now gone down (12/12 here),
due to night cooling.

I can't chase tomorrow arvo...so perhaps Murphy's forecast is for a good
day.  Also, we have $20,000 worth of windows sitting beside our
currently constructed house at the farm...so Murphy might send some
golfball hail over Grandchester...(perhaps a chaser would be kind enough
to counteract that and sit there to ensure hail falls elsewhere?)

Images taken at regular intervals between 2:30pm and 4:30pm.  By 5:30pm it
had completely dissipated with no visible trace.  I like (b)(k)(l) & (m) the
best, with a nice little overshoot in the last.

evenin all,
we had one small storm that passed over the northern end of the gold coast.
they got rain, but all we got was sunshine. the storm had plenty of thunder
when it was around mt tambourine b4 it continued east. i got these images
at around 4 ish as it was just off southport. at this stage i believe it
had a pink or red spot on radar. it reminded me a lot like nov 7 99

Yes a happy spring to all

And even better when you wake to the BOM on the radio area saying that in
Northern Victoria today there will be strong vertical development, good
chance storms, clearance after the cloud band combined with high moisture
due to rain, ahhhh, and look at the low on the sat pic. Also BOM saying
warming up late next week, with Melbourne likley to crack the 20 for the
first time this season. Bring on this mighty time of year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good luck to all out chasing today :)

The low near Adelaide is moving slightly further south than forecast and 
could possibly cause that rainband over Pt Lincoln with falls above 30mm to 
move over Adelaide if the winds turn more SSW which they are starting to do 
a bit around the Adelaide area.  The other possibility is all the activity 
basically moves over the northern agriculutral districts as the low weakens 
which is what BOM seems to be going for at the moment.  Low cloud has 
thickened a lot around Adelaide in the last half hour hopefully we get some 
showers from this system.

Hey all

Very slack air over Adelaide in the last 12 hours as the low goes overhead.
I had another 10mm overnight to bring August's rain to just over 100mm.
Impressive and making for a wet [but boring weather wise] winter.

Hi Rune. 

I have been talking with Matt Smith , who is chasing with Jimmy out
near Singleton. They had been watching this storm from a distance and
I advised them it was red on radar.. I also contacted some relatives
who live in Wyong area to warn them .. Yet to get update on how
severe this storm is.. I would say hail for sure.  Looks like another
storm heading to Dorrigo area, then onto Nambucca heads..  

Oberon had small storm, minor amount of lightning strikes, heading
SE now with another storm below it. 

Dave 
Bathurst.

I met Jimmy and Geoff today and we hung around at a truck stop near
Jerrys Plains (hunter) and watched and waited, and waited, and waited...
some weak activity in the wollemi national park was going for a while,
and all of a sudden it just took off big time, with massively strong
updraughts kicking up on the back end, while the storm seemed to move
SEish. We did not follow, but rather observed from a distance as the
storm was in the national park. The storm was isolated, not a cloud in
the way, with huge boiling masses constantly going up on the back end,
very similar in appearance to this storm, but with much stronger
updraughts, and not as nicely sunlite as this photo.

Anyway... I suspect it was a supercell, had all the characteristics. Can
possibly the BoM let us know?
The storm died very shortly after sunset.

Just writing to say that my "first" ASWA meeting was a real buzz and that I
really enjoyed my visit to the BoM and extend my thanks to Kevin for making
it "understandable" by Bushman terms. I thought that I'd get there and I'd
be over-whelmed by technical expressions etc but left very happy that I'd
made the trip, and pretty well understood everything he said. Thanks to all
the other people there that made my trip worthwhile. Thanks everyone.
Do they really stick their hands out the window to see if it's raining or
not :-)
How hard are you going to try to get me back to Melbourne now Jane :-)
Seriously though. Much appreciate the friendliness of everyone, even though
I'd never met any of you. Well, Clyve and Jane excepted. Bit concerned
though that they thought of me as famous. Can't quite fathom that.
Some heavy rain and some flashes to the west on the way home. 5mm today

now...  (9pm saturday)

In Coffs harbour, there was one huge CG (about 1km away) which really shook 
the house at 7:20pm.

Just drove through a nice little cell in Brisbane. The worst of it seemed to 
go south of me, but I did get a few flangs. I would have chased if it wasn't 
for the load of computer gear in the back seat. I didn't want to bounce that 
around too much. 

Doesn't it just scare the hell out of you when you get a lightning strike 
right in front of you while driving? I was blinded by one of them for a few 
seconds. :-P

Hi all,

Just a brief report on the situation. The storm developed in the region 
near the Putty Road but was weak for some time. Then it began to really 
take off as it neared the coast during the late afternoon. In fact it 
literally sent updraughts at the rear which were quite strong. Then it 
slowly began to show backshearing despite the very strong wind shear. It 
remained sunlit for quite sometime and with the angle we had, it looked 
awesome reflecting brilliantly in the setting sun. Photographs will show 
this. The crispness of this reminds me of some of the photos I have seen in 
the US. Brilliant stuff... This was an example of how important it is to 
have dry air aloft. I do believe it was a supercell but we should wait 
until this is confirmed. The soundings including the lower level backing 
certainly supports this possibility.

One of the unfortunate things is that the road network we faced was 
hopeless. We didn't even bother trying to chase it. I was surprised that 
there was reasonable backbuilding though as the storm did not move as fast 
as I expected in that region... I suppose the main part of the jet was 
further north. It was also unfortunate that the air around the Hunter was 
fairly dry and there was a fairly strong cap.

Anyway, we shall see what damage may have been caused by the storm.

Hi all,

Currently hovering between 2 and 3 degrees here in Taralga with a few
light showers around. As Jimmy has mentioned, AVN has a spot (literally
1 pixel) of 540 thickness directly over Taralga tomorrow at 00Z so we
may have a few snow showers over night and early tomorrow.

Interesting stuff.

Andrew.

Hi!
I have a Kodak DC4800. I put the camera on 2+ exposure compensation and set
the f-stop to f2.8. I had the shutter speed on 16sec (which is the highest
it has) and had it mounted on a sturdy tripod. Then I just carefully pressed
the button, waited till the pic was taken, viewed it, then clicked again.
Did it 69 times =)

I haven't seen anything like this in years.  It has been raining all night 
and now the rain has become torrential this morning, garden is flooded under 
2 inches of water, all over the garden.  Roads are totally flooded.  Kent 
Town has had over 40mm making it the highest 24hour total all year and maybe 
even over last year as well, I think.  A line of convection has just 
continued to sweep across the Adelaide Metro Area in association with the 
wrap around from the low.  Areas to the east and west of Knet Town are not 
getting anywhere near as much.  Parawa is nearly up to 70mm!!!

Probably an obvious answer but why do we measure cloud cover as 7/8 etc
Why not just say 80% cover or something? Just wondering. Got 8/8 and light
mist here at present.

I think it is to make it easier for observers. Dividing the sky into two
halves, then halving it again to get quarters and again to get eighths is
easier for human eyes, and more likely to produce a correct result when
estimating how much of the sky is covered.

Kent Town recorded a total of 43.2mm which I believe is a September
daily record for Adelaide beating 40mm recorded on 20-9-1923.
Largest rainfall recorded was at Parawa in the Southern Fleurieu
Peninsula with 77mm.

This storm could be seen to the NE from my kitchen window right on sunset.
This is a least 150km south as the crow flies. I remarked to my wife that it
had an overshoot and looked severe.

The area about 100km SE of Wollongong put on a lightning show last night.

Hi all,

I have put a page up with 12 scanned pictures from the snowfalls around
Taralga last week, taken by my dad Paul. It's at
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~amiskelly/snow/270801.html

Enjoy.

The record August 24 hour rainfall for Adelaide (Kent Town) of 43.2mm for
the 24 hours to 9 this morning has already been noted. However, Hawker,
about 60km NE of Port Augusta broke a more significant record this morning
if its report of 55.6mm is to be believed. Hawker's previous August record
in 115 years was 46.7. Hawker recorded 39.4 at 9am yesterday, so that's a 48
hour total of 95mm. Not many reports received to 9 this morning, as it is a
Sunday, but the nearest ones are Quorn 24.8+11.6=36.4 and Wilmington
33.0+21.2=54.2. Any South Australians have information about this?

Bowen AP broke a shorter record this morning with 39.6 in the gauge. The
previous record in 14 years at the site was 23.4.

I didn't see comment on the list about the unusually cold minima recorded in
the west yesterday. According to my figures, the following August records
were broken (previous record and years of computerised record in brackets).
The Port Hedland figure is significant, with over 50 years of record.

Derby AP WA: 11.7 (12.4, 14)
Port Hedland AP WA: 7.7 (8.4, 53)
Warburton AF WA: 0.0 (0.2, 10)
Telfer AP WA: 6.2 (7.0, 24)
Watarrka NT: -2.8 (-0.6, 10)

Can't give you specifics Laurier,

But there have been reports on the radio here over the w/e about 12 groups
of bushwalkers currently stranded in the Central Flinders following '5
inches' of rain.  Apparently the Wilpena campground is isolated from the
nearby national park headquarters by the swollen Wilpena Creek.  I'd say a
check of the Wilpena Chalet's rain in the last few days would be very
interesting [for those who don't know, Wilpena Chalet is on the eastern
side of Wilpena Pound at about 550masl and has the highest rainfall in the
central Flinders of about 450mm]

Phil [who has recorded over 60mm at St Peters since Friday]

Hi all

Just looking at the BoM radar page, there now exists the option of 256km
radar images in addition to the 128km range images.  
http://mirror.bom.gov.au/weather/radar/

However, clicking on these links doesn't bring up anything, but if you
have a registered BoM account, then the images work fine.

Hi Andrew,

Great pics!! The amount of snow looks similar to what I found at Tomalla
(Barrington Tops) last week. The difference is Tomalla is 1300m asl. Amazing
to see that there was that much snow at a low elevation.

Cheers,
Tim

Sydney had its 2nd hottest Winter ever - jusdt behind 1988 but
apparently Melbourne and Perth and possibly other were well up there....
so takne as a whole, the country could have had its warmest ever Winter
season.
Any comments, Blari or Laurie ?

Dear Andrew,

Thanks for the pics. Im envious. Took the kids to see the snow on the
northern tablelands and got a nice drive in the warm winter sun(inside the
car)/ with cold wind and icy temps outside. The snow arrived about 5 hours
later.

Thanks for taking effort to put them on the net.

Best wishes

Ian Isles

Hi all

The BoM now also quite a few more radars online - Syndey now has 3 (yes
THREE), with Kurnell and Sydney Airport added and Darwin, Cairns,
Townsville, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth all have the airport radars
online.

It looks like these are only available through the registered users radar -
i imagine they'll be added to the ASWA site ASAP

Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com

Very true re the police attitude and their propensity to close the
roads, and the fact that you then get stranded or face a very long
detour.  Snow chasing in the Blue Mountains is likely to lead to some
frustrations that could out weigh the fun.

A personal experience to illustrate.

The last time I was up there, and there was any snow (late 70's from
memory) the police closed the GWH at about 2am at Penrith to stop
people going up at all.  I found out later that the only people that
they let through after that were residents up to Blackheath, but not
further.  I later deduced that I had passed Blackheath apparently just
before the police came out to close the road with barriers there.  I
knew nothing of what was happening at the time of course.  There was
quite a bit of snow on the roads and it was fun slow driving through
it (plenty of rally experience, no problem, and I had chains in the
boot anyway.  We used to go skiing so often I eventually bought a set,
it was cheaper than hiring them every other week).  In any case, by
the time I got to Mount Lambie, I was a bit tired and figured a pie
and pees and a coffee would go down well.  So I pulled in, noting
with some surprise that the place was chokers with trucks.  Seemed a
bit odd, even for the conditions.  Truckies are supposed to be made 
of sterner stuff thought I !

Anyway, in finding a place to park, it dawned on me, that come to
think of it, I hadn't seen any other traffic, going either way for
"ages".  Very odd.  So, get out, enter the cafe.  Bloody cold, howl of
a wind.   Time, about 3:30 / 4am, memory is a bit dim on that.  I get
inside, and walk up to the counter.  Girl looks up, says nothing,
looks down again.  So, since she has seen me, I order the
aforementioned, whilst looking around, during which time I notice two
rather beefy guys sitting at a table down the end, apparently playing
chess, and assume they are a couple of truckies.   The girl (mid 
twenties, nothing special, had been sitting down reading a mag), 
gets herself up in a manner suggestive of not particularly being 
pleased at having been disturbed, and rather off handedly says 
"what'satluv....."

So, with the completion of the  "luv...."  I turn to her and says,  "I
would like a pie and pees, no sauce, and a coffee, white, no sugar,
thanks,.... luv" (with only a very slightly amusing inflection, if you
know what I mean - try your luck - any port in a "storm" type thing
!).

Suddenly,..... one of the gorillas at the table turns around, and
rather "arrogantly" ... "demands" to know who the hell I am !! 

Thinking it might be the young lady's other half, I instantly decide
discretion may be the better part of valour.  Upon turning to face
him, I notice his parker has splayed open as he has half turned around
in the chair, and his gun is in full view.  Whereupon he stood up and
came over to me, and asked where I had come from (they had seen the
lights when I drove in).  I explained up from Sydney.  He said that
was crap, the road was closed.  I said it wasn't, after all, I was
here.  A short silence ensued.  The other officer got up and came
over, and wanted a report of the road, all the way up.  So, after pie
pees and coffee were provided, I was "invited" back to their table for
a "quiet chat" (read interrogation, well, so it seemed).  They turned
out to be quite reasonable.  They were Bathurst cops and had driven up
earlier in a 4 WD Toyota Land cruiser, and had no idea what the
conditions were to the east of Mount Lambie.

The discussion was cordial, and a complete road report was made.  
Then they wanted to know where I was going, which was Bathurst.  So, 
deciding that I was able to continue, they told me to take it easy, 
and report in at Bathurst Police Station when I got there.

This allowed them to sit tight, nice and warm !!  They didn't need to
go 
on to (Katoomba I think it was) nor patrol back towards Bathurst,
since 
I had effectively done it (the eastern part) and was just about to do
the 
western part for them !   To sweeten the deal, they even paid for my 
second coffee !   Find a cop that will offer you a deal like that
today !

Anyway, the trip west was a no brainer.  I considered at the time that 
they were being overly cautious in closing the road, but I was a lot 
younger then too.  The road is better and the cars are better and
easier 
to drive - under normal conditions that is.  Over those last 25 odd
years 
though, public driving skills have got worse not better.  Couple that
with 
the legal mine fields today of "duty of care" and all that, it is
hardly 
surprising that they close roads these days at the drop of a single
flake.

So, snow chasing could get interesting, or frustrating, depending more
on 
the attitude of the local police, than the weather.

If you believe the AWS data, there must have been a massive storm
over Mt. Baw Baw this morning, with gusts to 69 knots and 193mm
of rain falling in the hour between 0630 and 0730.

Much as it may be nice to fantasise about activity of such 
magnitude, I think it reasonable to assume that the aforementioned
numebrs are the result of a dodgy AWS. 

(Baw Baw is notorious for bad rainfall data - typically generating 
spurious rainfall obs from melting snow a couple of days after a 
cold outbreak - but I suspect this one might have other problems).

Hey Paul, how are ya buddy

Well I have a report for ya


The Sunday Noon Weather Patrol Around Colac

Woke up Sunday morning with a slight hang over and I went outside. For a 
early spring day was it rather warm, with the fog burning off, no wind and a 
nice deep blue sky above things could turn out nicely. After a bit of rain 
in Colac on Saturday, the ground was damn and with the sun warming it up 
nicely it was only a matter of time, and where, for the Cu to develop. 
Heading off to church at 11am Sunday with my Uncle I noticed that yes I was 
correct and come nice 'turkeys' where bubbling up to the WSW of Colac, and I 
said to my uncle we could get a storm perhaps sometime ttoday and he calmly 
agreed. After church there was Towering Cu everywhere and one went Cb out to 
the WNW towards Alvie. So I I took my camera (Doh only 2 or 3 shots left!) 
and head off to one of my favourite viewing points, Red Rock; an extinctt 
Volcano about 15km WNW of Colac. So I got there and paning around there was 
Cu Towers everywhere, but the Cb I saw had rapidly died :(, but a new one 
was bellowing up to the SSW or Red Rock and it was raining from it. I 
turning on the walkman and put it on the "lightning tracker" am band to 
listen for the crackles. I waited and waited, nothing not a thing! Not 
happy, but I took a few pics and headed back into town. I drove around the 
outskirts of the town and well I was lucky, out of one of the Cb "Calvus" 
(?) out dropped a nice funnel! So with the last shot I framed it, hopefully 
it'll turn out! Well the Cu died as the day got older, I'd say the CAPE 
weakend dramatically.

Currenttly back in Ballarat it's nice and mild with a fair amound of Cu so 
perhaps it could all happen again as another front knockls on Victoria's 
western door.

Cheers

Haven't checked the final numbers yet, but when I did a preliminary
check last Thursday:

Brisbane Airport and Sydney were looking at record mean maxs for
winter.

Melbourne was looking at a record high mean min for winter.

The seasonal mean (combination of max + min) was running equal to
record levels at Melbourne with 2 days to go. Sydney, as Don
mentioned, was 2nd to 1988. 

Perth Airport's mean min was the third-lowest on record (and lowest
since 1960), impressive given that there's a bit of an urbanisation
signal there. The mean max was well above normal but not in record
territory. 

For the nation as a whole, the maximum temperature anomaly was
+0.76 degrees, the fifth-highest on record (1996 being the highest).
The minimum temperature anomaly was -0.10 degrees - it was quite
a cool winter (minimum-wise) in much of northern and western 
Australia.

Looking at state averages for the mean winter max, Queensland's
ranked 2nd, NSW 3rd, Victoria and Tasmania 4th.

Notable rainfall averages for winter were set in SA (7th wettest on
record) and SW WA (5th driest on record).

I think you meant to say September records? (46.7 was the Hawker 
September record, so you haven't made a mistake on that).

Worth mentioning that the Adelaide (Kent Town) figure is also above
the highest September daily total in the 140-year record at the 
former West Terrace site. They're not directly comparable but they're
pretty close (on opposite sites of the Adelaide CBD).

Having queried it with the SA Regional Office, there is no basis in
fact (as far as we know) for media reports of falls exceeding 200mm
in the Wilpena area. (Wilpena itself got 125, and I wouldn't be 
surprised if the upper reaches of the Pound did get close to 200, but
there are no gauges there).

It was the weekend, and the internal calendar hadn't clicked over yet.

Another area of very slow moving rain to the west is moving into an area of 
extremely high moisture levels over Adelaide.  The front has slowed 
dramatically.  Some areas have had 20mm today to the south.  Interesting to 
see how this area of precipitation to the west develops could get a moderate 
fall from it.  Soil is way above saturation point and walking past 1st creek 
today it was running quite high after that downpour after lunch and it had 
very high silt content.  With further rain at the end of the week, flooding 
is looking likely as dam levels have risen significantly and the ground is 
saturated.  This all depends on how strong the end of the week system ends 
up being of course.

our area can now be watched much better for severe weather and will help

I don't think I've seen comment on the list about the exceptionally cold
nights that have been occurring across northern Australia.

Derby AP broke its admittedly short 14 year record September minimum of 12.4
Saturday morning with a reading of 11.7, but then broke it again Sunday
morning with a reading of 9.1 -- pretty cold for a coastal location 17
degrees from the equator. More significantly, Port Hedland AP broke a 53
year record of 8.4 with a 7.7 reading Saturday morning, while Marble Bar
broke a 44 year record reading of 8.3 with a 7.3 on Sunday morning.

Mt Isa AP may have had a record low September minimum Sunday morning with a
(rounded) 1 degree. The record is 1.1.

Food for thought or something just to chew over...

Cheers,

Hi Patrick, all

I overheard a conversation either on radio or on TV a little while ago on
this subject - in summary a scientist was arguing that it could do more harm
than good, that it would upset whatever 'balance' the weather has ie. if you
use this powder to weaken or kill a Tropical Cyclone in one area, it could
result in a massive build up of energy and make it worse for another area.
Personally i think we should just take what mother nature gives us, if we
start trying to control things the outcome could be even worse than what we
started with!

Also noticed that the temp. readings went out at the time of the "storm",
and that the previous 10 minute rainfall totals were in the range of
400mm!!

If you believe the AWS data, there must have been a massive storm
over Mt. Baw Baw this morning, with gusts to 69 knots and 193mm
of rain falling in the hour between 0630 and 0730.

Much as it may be nice to fantasise about activity of such
magnitude, I think it reasonable to assume that the aforementioned
numebrs are the result of a dodgy AWS.

(Baw Baw is notorious for bad rainfall data - typically generating
spurious rainfall obs from melting snow a couple of days after a
cold outbreak - but I suspect this one might have other problems).

Hi all,

A bit late I know, but I was up near Wyong on Saturday afternoon for a
planning weekend, along with Matt Piper. We were watching this storm, but
didn't really think much of it. At about 5:15pm it was passing about 10 km
south of us. The base was elevated (but not a high storm), and had some
small inflow bands, outflow was wrapping around and even some noticeable
banding. There was quite a bit of scud around also, but no lowerings
(having limited experience in identifying cloud features, I would have to
pass to Matt for a better description here). Overall the storm appeared
multicellular, but the last cell must really have taken off, because when
we were looking at it, there was very little precip. visible.

Hopefully a sign of things to come this spring...BRING IT ON!

Craig
