Hi All,

I'm back from my holidays now.  Didn't see any more storm activity from
Wednesday onwards but I still had a wonderful week and I must say that
life's treating me very well at the moment - I'm very happy for the first
time in a few months and to make things perfect I could do with a good
storm chase.

Location - Greensborough, VIC.

Hi all,

Well - yesterday's jetstream really let us down.  Storms were developing
all day, many of which were quite strong.  I know Toowoomba had flash
flooding.  What was happening, was that storms were forming, reached a
good intensity, but then sat stationary, or near stationary, which would
mean they'd eventually exhaust their local fuel source, and eventually
feed off their own, cooler and drier outflow thus killing and
suffocating themselves.  There was one line that appeared to take a
multicellular and lasted for a couple of hours.  This did move rather
slowly, about 20km/h but appeared to be fairly strong (this was the line
that caused flash floods in Toowoomba)  Again, this prooves how vital
the jetstream is - with our max jetstream sitting at a massive (NOT!)
30kts, but this was at a 16570m, the jet was near 20-25kts at around
10000m, and 16kts at 12000m!  Of course, late last night, our max jet
was 98kts....talk about bad timing!

Late in the afternoon, thunder was audiable about once ever minute for
20-25mins, and in the evening, infrequent lightning (once every
30seconds) could be seen to my SW.

Still more good potential days to come!

Antony from Brisbane

Morning All,

Just started bucketing down here - a few thundery showers around this
morning with the trough ahead of the cold front due at about lunch time.  I
think that's our second (maybe third) thunderday this year.

Hi list, in particular our ladies in minority:-)

Maybe we should even the list up a bit by proposing to name
significant storms using women's names:-) I know it flies in the face
of equal opportunity and laws prohibiting discrimation based on race,
religion or sex but clearly, but this could be one way of lifting the
profile. Better still, we could name storms in proportion to the
numbers of men and women in the group...(just kidding:-)

It ought to be mentioned that the mere action of "broadcasting" a
virus alert creates a cascade and congestion effect in mail servers
whereby undeliverable mail caused by people using old addresses fills
up the queues on mail servers thereby stopping mail.

In this list, 80-odd people is not too bad but when it hits an
organisation like Telstra, it can stop mail altogether. The way
Telstra deals with this is to appoint only one "SECURITY ALERT"
authorised sender and to broadcast only when a valid risk has been
confirmed.

This one smells like an earlier hoax entitled "Win a holiday". I will
therefore report any significant outcomes from Telstra's dealings with
this new "virus" to the group.

Nandina - Clever observation but...absolutely not! Rather, it was a
bit much for me to expect, that mere humans, whatever sex, have any
ability to effect, the lifted index... 

On another angle, it is women alone who have been attributed with the
ability entitled "women's intuition" that, when applied to weather
forecasting and storm chasing ought to result in improved success,
other logistics considered insignificant by comparison:-)

But, you are certainly ahead of your time...

It's rather sneaky to send mail time/date stamped into the future.
That way, it is always displayed at the top of the list for most
mailers set to the correct time, including mine!

Finally, I think this thread, should be considered, now quite dead
(I'm a poet and didn't even know it:-)

Michael - I agree with you about the dead thread!

But I truly am a novice and I don't know if you're joking or serious
about the date and time thing.  I have had a couple of funnies happening
in my mail and the net, and frankly feel just a little vulnerable.  Like
today - suddenly my mail is printing in a larger font, and bold -  but I
haven't changed any settings!

So if the date/time header is doing something strange, please do alert
me, and tell me how to fix it. OK?

Cheers,

Hi everyone,
            Looks like there is some potential for severe storms in 
south - eastern Australia this afternoon although the atmosphere is not 
particularly unstable in the upper levels between about 600 and 350Hpa 
(just a visual approximation of Wagga, Moree and Williamtown).  Inland 
regions look to be a bit dry near the surface judging from the soundings 
and satellite pics but there seems to be enough low level moisture 
closer to the coast...Perhaps on the ranges there is a better chance - 
also a surface trough is due to move into the southern regions later 
this evening so this may help.
           -Paul G.

Hi All,

Good amount of cu building up in a full 360 degree view of the sky at the
moment. Looks promising.
 At 15.35pm 28C, 1012, 20%, W gusting to 2 knots.

I am interested in how many overseas people we have watching what is going
on with the Aussie Weather. Could they please send us their location?

Don't know what expectations in the Sydney-Wollongong area are for some 
storm activity - but I only have bad news from this neck of the woods.

Canberra has been overcast from around 1.00pm  EDT with a thickening 
middle level cloudband. Patchy rain with some large drops at times has 
been falling since around 4.00pm. This rain looks like increasing a 
little and persisting. 

Sorry, but not a Cu (congestus or otherwise) in sight. In fact it looks 
to be a re-run of last Friday (with a 2 hour delay).

in the heat we are getting. Temperatures for most of the past week has been
in the mid 30s. We even hit 31 yesterday 10th with a S-SW airstream.
However, it is much lower than last summer's continuous heat wave.

Back to storms, the winds in the upper level are not only relatively light
but from a SW - S direction. We need then to be W to NW. We also need
turning of winds in the atmosphere and the increasing of winds with height
- good wind shear. We have not got these right conditions since 13th
November. It is very disappointing.

Jimmmy Deguara  sorry about mispelling my name. My finger got stuck to the
keyboard on the m!

The radar at 5.30pm is starting to look slightly interesting, I have one
reservation, and that is the amount of middle layer cloud that is now moving
in. There appears to be some development just west of Moruya, it would be
embedded in the middle layer stuff, but on outside chance a squall line may
develop into this evening ( my wishful thinking ).

Visual check from Wollongong indicates to the far S/SW some congestus poking
up into the middle layer clouds, despite the overcast it is 30-31C here,
which if we get any lifting mechanism will trigger storms.

I have just checked the Lifted Index for overnight in Sydney and it is very
interesting with LI falling during the night increasing the chance of early
morning action around the Central Coast/Sydney region. But tomorrow looks
more grim with perhaps action to the west of Sydney but mainly to the N. We
will see what happens.

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

Hi all,

Ross from Brisbane here announcing that his storm chasing cherry has
been popped :-).

After a lot of umming and arring Ben Quin and myself finally decided
to have a squiz at some of the activity that was happening around the
SEQ region. Energex's Lightning Tracker was going berserk with several
lines of storms showing up, mainly moving N/East.

The question was where to go..... We left rather late in the day so
it had to be reasonably close. One option was to go Beaudesert way and
hopefully catch something that might develop there, or go to our
north-west around Kilcoy where a fair bit of action was and had
already happened.....

We chose the Kilcoy option. Anthony Cornelius was commandeered into
updating us via mobile phone. With the help of Ben's navigation we
arrived in fairly quick time.

Anthony informed us at 4pm that a new cell was just starting to get
some strength almost directly west of where we were. Just before
entering
Kilcoy, we took a detour along a road heading northwards, so as to
put us ahead of the new cell. This caused us to go over a weir that
already had about 3 inches of water going over it, so it had to be a
quick
chase or a long wait for the water to subside when heading back. Not far
up

the road, we found a good place to take some photos of the northern
part of the cell. Unfortunately my parking could have been better,
because
(barefoot) Ben stood straight into wet cow shit. Shit as they say,
happens :-)

Another change in direction west brought us closer to the action
where a small gust front was forming up. Ben guessed the wind at around
20knts max. We then decided to head back east a bit to see if the gust
front
would form up. Rain was falling but not very heavy where we were,
although there were some very heavy rain shafts that we could see. A
few small lowerings and a smallish shelf cloud developed as we headed
back into Kilcoy. Luckily we managed to bypass the weir that scared us
earlier.

Heading east out of Kilcoy, we stopped for another photo opportunity.
To get the best shot, we climbed through a barbed wire fence. Couple of
snaps later, back to the car. Ben goes through the fence first, with
me holding the wires apart, then he did the same for me..... and found
out that with his bare feet, he made a rather good conducter for the
electric fence wires we had failed to notice :-)

As we headed east, back to the Bruce Highway, the cell, which was
moving very slowly started to die out, and there was nothing else
visible,
so we headed home.

All in all, it was an enjoyable first chase for me and great to meet
up with Ben. Hopefully the photo's we took will come out OK. Our next
chase will be Tuesday, with the latest AVN forecast predicting -10 LI's
to
the west of us. Expect another report shortly after :-)

Cheers all,
Rosco.

Hi All,

Has anyone seen the storm on the cricket?  Looked pretty good before it got
dark and now my sister is watching Felicity so I can't see anything.  All
those up in brissie please keep us informed as we got hardly anything from
the front that moved through this morning.  

Dane - I may've counted the christmas day storms as a thunder day this
year.  I still think there's been two though.

Saturday/Sunday may be OK down here but once again I am gong camping
thursday so I'll  probably miss all the action.

I'm going out now but I'll be back later to check out what
happens/happened.

See ya.

Andrew McDonald.

Hiya All,

I had a phone call from a friend named Craig at Dunoon (16k's N of Lismore)
about a storm they were having at the  time(17:15). He was telling me about
the base of the storm,which was rotating clockwise.In the centre of the
rotation,he said there was an "eye"(his words not mine)where he could see
blue sky.
There was no rain at the time(it started to rain at  19:25) & there was dark
clouds to the east of him heading in that direction & clear sky to the
west.I then went out side to have a look(I was on my cordless phone)& there
was a roll cloud heading towards me from the west but as it came closer it
dissapated.At  19:31, Craig said the wind was picking up speed,& broke a
couple of small branches off  some trees.
When the rain started, Craig said it very cold & very big  drops falling.
Unfortunatly Craig doen't have a rain gauge so he couldn't give me a reading
(MAJOR BUMMER!!!!).
>From my ob's here, it looks like the  storm is heading out to sea around
Byron Bay-Brunswick Heads area.
Anyway, gotta go, See Ya's later
John from Ballina
P.S Can  anyone give me an explanation about the "eye" that Craig was
telling me?????????

Hi all,

Can see lightning every few seconds to my SW, and can hear slight

are the same ones from over NE NSW...which had some nice sunlit anvils
earlier.  Lightning tracker is coming alive again now!
