Hi All,
Thank goodness only about another 42.5 hours and we will have the end of
daylight saving.
With nearly a third of Autumn passed conditions very warm this morning.
7.00am temps at Ivanhoe 27C and Griffith 25C. Remember that's 6.00am EST for
those out of state.
At Orange at 07.55 ESDT, clear blue sky,16C, 60%, 1018, No breeze.
Terry.

Hi All,
I have just noticed that in the centre of the low pressure cells in the
southern ocean the waves are up to 24 feet high. That's 7.3 metres for the
young ones.
I hope that the WA does not get any more rain from the low sitting on the NW
corner at present.
Although the pressure is not to low it looks intense on the coloured cloud
chart.
Terry.

The SW Australian coast near Albany gets hit by some monster swells at
times, 20-30ft is something a normal year may get 1-2 times.
Margaret River in WA is also a mecca for WA surfers for the same reason,
6-8ft is normal here for 8 months of the year, with 10ft plus several times
in most winter months.
The power of these southern ocean lows to generate swell is not to be
dismissed, Bali in Indonesia is a magnet for Australian surfers due to
consistent swells from May - September, these can go to 12ft, where do they
came from, not local as some people think, but all the way from the roaring
forties between Africa and Australia.

Hey everyone,
Well the feedback to my message posted last monday has been, well
ordinary, I have had 2 reponses.
In case people missed it earlier this is what I'm after (the brief
version).
I am compling a database of all the storm watching points in Australia
that us chasers frequent. This would be complied into a A5 Size booklet
so it could be easily carried onto a chase. The point of this thing you
ask..????
Well it is to help all those chasers out there who go chasing in an
unfamilar area and need a good viewing spot becasue a roatating funnel
has just dropped from the sky. Well we can dream, but seriously I think
this would be a great tool however I need your input to make it. So how
can i do more you ask??
Simple just Send me a message at
dann_w at hotmail.com or if you really have to -on this list and tell me
the:
Name:
Location:
View:eg Good view east to south
Notes: any info on the spots.
So if you have any info please email me.
Thanks
Daniel

Hi Terry,
That's almost Queensland stuff. Mt Crosby at 8:00am REST (Real EST) was 21C after 17C min. Hum 76%, Bar 1020, No breeze.

Sorry, to those who are not familiar with JCU, the colours relate to
cloud top temperature. White on the satellite is approximately -70 or
80C and means the clouds are reaching 60000ft or so.
I'm still not convinced that the low to the north of the Kimberley isn't
going to form another TC althoughit may not affect WA as it seems to be
moving W.

Well, I've seen 4 msg's so far.... 2 regarding Canberra locations, 1 for south
of Sydney (i think), and one for Brisbane... Is it possible that not all the
list emails are getting through to you?
The only information that i can give you is re: internet access terminals...
Warwick library (on the main street), 4 terminals, $2 for 15 minutes. Similar
price at a net cafe in Toowoomba (also on the main drag). DO NOT GO to the net
cafe in Ballina, they are a bunch of pricks (imho), same price as the others,
but in that 15 minites only 1 page had loaded, and they wouldn't even refund
our money, or give us an extension.

Details are at the registered users section at the BOM homepage,
somethign like $50 a month.I haven't got access myself, I just guess
from the cloud tops and the various forecasts and models what is
happening in a particular area.

This just in from the JTC
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 12.8S1 111.9E2 TO 12.2S5
117.0E9 WITHIN THE NEXT 06 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT
JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS
TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 20 TO 25 KNOTS.
METSAT IMAGERY AT 260030Z1 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 12.3S6 116.9E7. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
RECENT VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY NOW SHOWS CYCLONIC CURVATURE OF
LOW-LEVEL CU LINES STREAMING INTO THE DEEP CONVECTION, AN INDICATOR
OF THE FORMATION OF A LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. IMAGERY ALSO
INDICATES THE FORMATION OF AN UPPER-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE JUST WEST OF
THE CONVECTION CENTER. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS NOW GOOD.
and from BoM
TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK
BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY PERTH
Issued at 1235 hours on Friday , 26/03/99
FOR THE AREA BETWEEN LONGITUDES 110 - 129 EAST

Location : near 12.5 S 116.5 E at 10 am
: about 900 kilometres (500 nautical miles)
northnorthwest of Port Hedland.
Central pressure : 1002 hPa
Recent movemnent : west at 15 knots
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
Next 24h : moderate
24-48h : high

Hi Everyone.
For those of you who are attending tomorrow (and the numbers look great),
here is how to get to the meeting place, which is at Unit 9, 14 Argon St.
Sumner. QLD... 10:00am.
If you are coming from the City or North, take Milton Rd and go on to the
Western Freeway. Follow the Western Freeway through Chapel Hill & Jindalee
(becomes the Centenary Highway). The Sumner exit is the last exit before
the Centenary Highway/Ipswich Motorway interchange, and is clearly marked.
At the exit, go around the roundabout and turn westwards onto Sumner Rd.,
crossing the bridge over Centenary Highway. Shortly you will come to a
second roundabout, go straight ahead at this one. Turn Left into Spine St.
at the following set of lights. Go down the hill & Turn first Right into
Boron St., then first right again into Argon St. We are on the left about
100m up. under the HT powerlines, and it is 2 & 3 storey set of offices.
We are on the second level. Look for the ASWA logo on the door...
If you are coming from the South, i.e., from Springwood to the Gold Coast.
Best route is via Logan Motorway, through to Centenary Highway and then
left onto Sumner exit. (Actually there are two Sumner exits, the first one
brings you to the bottom end of Spine St. which means a left turn into
Boron, the second one onto Sumner Rd. as above.
If you are coming from the SE, say Mt. Gravatt, or bayside suburbs, then
take Kessels Rd. & Ipswich Motorway to the Centenary Highway exit. Turn
North over Ipswich Motorway, then as above.
Note: You may also know the area as "Sumner Park" - but it actually just
"Sumner".
See you tomorrow.
John W. on behalf of Anthony Cornelius.

Hello list, Nandina here, from Mulgrave (Vic)
I am curious. Both SA and Vic received post Vance winds of note, and higher than anticipated temperatures in the Vance dregs that passed through. Is this normal for Cyclone 'tails', or were the high temps due to occur anyway?
