Hiya Rossco,
Glad it went well. I'm still p'd off that I couldn't make it - but ya
should have seen those Andaman Sea sunsets and the size of the Cu....
(Actually flew into Phuket with the tail end of Typhoon Wendy - that was
pretty interesting also). Dunno what Jimmy's been going off about, reckon
we are alive & well up here.
John.
>snip
On behalf of everyone who attended the first (?) Qld storm spotter
seminar, I would like to thank Anthony Cornelius, Jeff Callaghan and his
team at the severe weather section at the BoM, and everyone else who
helped behind the scenes to make it such a success.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and believe that all those who attended did as
well. It was great to see such a broad cross-section of the community
attend, and such an interest taken by all. We were treated to a tour of
the Regional Forecasting Centre, a talk by Jeff about SEQ. storm
formation and cyclones, and to top it off, Anthony's presentation of
spotter techniques.
By early next week, there'll be a page up with plenty of pics that Ral's
kindly took throughout the afternoon, and a brief rundown of the days
activities.
Cheers all,
Rosco.
(who has his fingers crossed that there will be storms on Thursday
because he has the day off work :-p )

Hi ASWA,
The increasing spring temperature contrasts proudly present:
#IDW00V02
#BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
#AREA05:
#
#
#Gale Wind Warning
#for Victorian coastal waters west of Cape Otway
#
#Issued at 0518 on Thursday the 16th of September 1999
#
#Northwesterly wind of 20/30knots gradually strengthening to 30/45knots today.
#Wind shifting westerly at similar strength Thursday night. Squalls in excess of
#50knots possible with isolated thunderstorms. Sea of 2 to 4 metres gradually
#rising 4 to 6 metres. Southwesterly swell rising 4 to 6 metres by Thursday
#night, locally 8 metres in the west.
The YMML (Melbourne) sounding would produce impressive CAPEs if only
the low-level moisture was there [for northern Victorians only:
before going off to work/study/holidays, get those garden hoses
out - your honourable work will show up in the next YMML sounding].
Sydney might not have any weather; it certainly has no 12 Z sounding.
Brisbane also needs some more moisture in the boundary layer and
some determined air parcels that can make it past that mid-level
inversion.
Cheers, Harald

Hi
I believe that the even though it is hot and dry, I believe that briefly
along the prefrontal trough, there is sufficient moisture to produce a good
line of activity. However, the best storms in these situations are
typically isolated and can be hit and miss.

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a website that features the
mapped raw surface observations for Australia (i.e., surface
temperature, surface wind, surface dew point, surface
pressure etc.). I found none so far. I believe that
any attempt to predict convective activity for the day
ahead needs those high resolution surface obs.

Hi all,
Heard on the radio that there was damage from storms o'night - or was
this the galr force N'lys that occurred?
Any Melbournites able to give us more information? They said it was
mainly the inner suburbs that were affected.

Storm damage report (eastern suburbs):-
Bayswater: Leaf litter, twigs
Vermont: 1 mature tree down
Box Hill: 1 mature tree down
Kew: branches down on NW side of hill at Studley Park
Other than that, there was no sign that we had the winds that we had last
night - at least in this particular corridor. Look forward to hearing from
the rest of the Victorians.
Last night the pressure dropped from 998 to 994 between 9pm & midnight,
temperature went from 23.8C to 24.8C, humidity dropped from 62% to 47% in
the same period. At 10pm Mt Gambier had a pressure of 989!! Light showers
overnight carrying dust. Winds gale force till 4.30am.

Hey Harald, Everyone..
You could try Storm Machine..
http://www.stormchaser.niu.edu/machine/
You could also try the AVN raw data site..
http://sgi62.wwb.noaa.gov:8080/cgi-bin/disp_avn.sh
The storm machine charts are sometimes so patchy they're unusable.. but
the AVN site probably has everything you're after.. I think AVN is our
most reliable model, second only to EC (LAPS is probably as good or
better than AVN, but LAPS is freely available to the public - you have
to pay for it)..

I had the pleasure of being out in the middle of it (doing my bit for
Victorian democracy - some of those letterboxes can be real buggers
to find in the dark!) in East Ivanhoe. Most of the damage seemed to
result from a single severe squall at about 8.00 p.m. I saw a large
branch fall from a mature tree just across the street, and later
numerous fallen branches and a few mature trees. There was also a
radio report of a roof being blown off one house and landing on
another in the area - I'm assuming that's why a street (about 500
metres to the north) was cordoned off with the SES in attendance.
For those who know the area, the worst damage appeared to be on the
east side of Burke Road, falling away considerably on the western side.
We also had a large branch fall in front of our house, in Heidelberg
about 3km to the north.
I'd estimate wind speeds in the squall at 100-120 km/h. There was no
thunder or lightning, and only a little rain (maybe 0.5mm, tops).

The differences in minimum temperatures weren't as pronounced -
12 at Narrabri and 6 at Tamworth, and 6 at Murrurundi and 4 at Scone.
My guess is that there was a shallow surface inversion which broke up
as the warmer air aloft mixed down to the surface in the strengthening
winds, and that this had happened by 6 at Narrabri and Murrurundi,but
not yet at Tamworth or Scone (although it has now).

Hey everyone. I am a little tenative sending emails since the last episode.
I hope this one doesn't get sent over 100 times to you. I think one message
at a time is about all that you need to endure from me.
Anyway, for those who don't know, the BOM has recently upgraded their
weather pages for NSW and in particular Sydney, for the olympics, and
within the next 15 days or so they are trialing free rader images, (64km,
128km, 512km,) single images and loops. As well as some modeling stuff,
hourly forcasts & minute to minute observations, their is a lighting
tracker. Wooohooo!

Hi all,
the url that Daniel posted is great
But for those of you who have radar access through your membership to ASWA be
warned.
Logging in to this site using "username-test99" and "password-test99" will
cause an Authorization Fail next time your radar scans updates in the members
area (only if you have one open or the next one you try).
If this is the case. Press cancel and close that window that is giving you the
fail and reload the radar map and try again and the browser will reset the
password for you.
Currently the bom is not allowing access to the 64 km radar scan with the login
of a registered user of radar so I can not put it onto the map yet. When they
do this all of you aswa members will be the first to have it there.

Hi all again,
I wish to single handedly divorce myself of any responsibility as web master of
ASWA of authorization fail messages that appear after members log into the
test99 radar site for sydney under the following url.
http://www.bom.gov.au/olympic/
I have had no end of problems with it since going in there and the fix I
offered before only seems to work sometimes.
If you are a netscape user the best way to fix the problem is to shut down your
browser completely and starting it up again.
If you are a MSIE user. I wish you luck :)
It has to do with the way that browsers remember the passwords for logging into
a registered users directory such as is the one on the bom radar site.
When you log in as test99 it remembers that and tries it for all other radar
images.
Resarting the browser clears it for netscape users.
I have no idea what MSIE browsers might do.

It has been a wet and windy day in Canberra today. Mostly mid-level
nimbo-stratus.
The rain eased around 30 minutes ago (currently 5.15pm, Thurs)and
the cloud base has descended with some cumuliform development amidst the
rapidly moving stratus. Very dark now to the west.
Just had two close CG's and loud thunder - yeah - its been a few
months....
Sky looks pretty ragged and lots of shear - who knows what might
emerge? Noticed that the 0631z NPMOC satpic had some quite distinct
cells over central and southern NSW.
Could be an interesting couple of hours ahead - although it will be dark
soon unfortunately.

Geez...A plus finally for MicroSoft! I've fallen off my chair!
A workaround for Netscape biggots is to fire up another "Navigator"
window and use one window for ASWA userid:passord access and another
for BoM userid:password access. You see, the encoded form of the
userid:password is cached separately within each Navigator window
rather than for each URL that demands it. It's really bad design not
to have this specified on a per-URL basis.

For those of you interested, all hits that my archive makes on

199909152130 to the present time 199909160740. Reason is that
NPMOC is getting hammered by hits concerning that hurricane in

Gordon Richardson sent me some more info on the Cape Town tornado ( s )
Kevin Levey (Stormchaser) sent this report about another tornado in Cape
Town
last week: Mark Bondietti in Cape Town :
"Yesterday at 0945, that's Thursday 9/9/99, I was driving up Eastern
Boulevard and spotted a tornado over the Milnerton area. Other sightings
and a Cape Town meteorologist also confirmed this on Cape Talk radio. The
cloud base was at about 700 m and the tornado extended about 300 m from the
rear end of the cumulonimbus cloud base. Rotation was clearly visible. I
watched it for about ten minutes until it dissipated after moving inland
from Table Bay. Apparently another witness saw it touchdown in Table Bay
earlier forming a waterspout. Has anyone else reported on this, I would be
very interested in hearing about other eye witness accounts. Anyone get a
photo ? This is the third tornado over Cape Town in two weeks, two having
occurred last week, over Melkbos and Mannenberg. Apparently the only other
sighting was some eighty years ago. This has certainly been a phenomenal
weather week in Cape Town !"

Nothing much doing here in the Illawarra today. The mid level cloud moved in
at 7.30am and remained all day. A weak NE seabreeze managed to push through
early and has kept temperatures cool all day. The seabreeze has now dropped
completely ( 6pm ) and it is calm, very calm in fact, not a leaf stirring.
Weather 21 is saying that Bega has had 26mm, so I guess there are
thunderstorms further south.
I think that the best activity will stay on the ranges or westwards.

There were quite a few small and moderate branches (up to ~6ft) down in
Box Hill and Blackburn this morning, and a large tree at Laburnum (in
Blackburn) station
which brought down powerlines over the footpath to the station. Witnessed a
student navigate under the tree and in the process stand on the (thankfully
still insulated) wires.
Of course there were no customer service officers to be seen, in what was
potentially a very dangerous situation (I would presume the tree came down
in the night with the strongest gusts, meaning it had been there for at
least 3 hours, powerlines and all).
Only other property damage I saw was to my front picket fence :( where one
of the decorative nobby things blew off!
BTW had a brief thunderstorm (about 3 minutes duration) and 2 cracks of
thunder ~7:30pm last night,
yielding a grand total of 0.4mm.

OK, I'm not happy, I'm sitting here willing the rain to come in and the

Congratulations ASWA!!! With many more pending too, it's great to see

thunderstorm about 18:30; just a sound and light show, however there were
some good cc strikes in close proximity. Only a slight sprinkle of rain from
this storm.
The maximum temp. of 22.9 occured at 23:30 last night, followed by a
sudden plunge at 02:00 this morning.
There was another thundery shower at 05:30 this morning.
The rainfall total for the 24 hours prior to 09:00 was just 1.0 mm.
Regard
Rod Aikman
Bendigo
Gale force winds all night here in Kilsyth we were blacked out twice, very
little rain just 0.2mm to 8am. Havent been out to check any local damage.
The temperature rose with the wind and it was 25c in the city at 1.30am
that's the highest this spring to date. Barometer got down to 991 Hpa it is
now 996. Winds are much lighter now and the temperature is now 15c. Dane.

Could be lightning playing some games? We have had quite a lot of lightning
activity and heavy rain in Canberra since 5.30pm.
The ABC TV went very sick and finally died for about 5 minutes just before
9.00pm EST. Perhaps there have been some strikes on or around some
communications infrastructure?
It's too wet to get out to my guage at the moment but I would guess that we
have had upwards of 30mm so far.

OK, this is bloody tradgic! The front's developing really nicely on the
still radar images (I'm getting at them through the olympic site - how
topical) and there's still no loops to track it with! Very Frustrating!

Unfortunately, the storm machine charts are based on internationally
exchanged METAR or aviation data, and Australia only provides about a
dozen observations each hour in this format. The AVN raw data is not
raw observations, but the raw output from the AVN model -- for raw
observations try FSU at
http://www.met.fsu.edu/Data/archive/surface/syn/, but you need to be
able to read SYNOP code, which is described in detail at
http://wxp.eas.purdue.edu/wxp/Appendices/Formats/SYNOP.html -- not for
the faint-hearted, but a mine of otherwise unobtainable information if
you persist!

Hi Harald
A hunt through my website would have found what you're after. From the
main index go to Current Weather --> Surface Charts, then try items 5,
8 or 9. The images in 5, converted from NWS TIF charts by Georg
Mueller are best, and are superimposed on a 1000hPa windstream chart.
The plotted obs in 8 and 9 now suffer a bit from the new additional
observations being distributed by Australia -- the maps are very
crowded with raw obs.
Alternatively, you can always use Tim Vasquez excellent Digital
Atmosphere program to download raw synoptic date from FSU and produce
magnificent real-time synoptic and upper air charts yourself for
anywhere in the world within 30 mins of real time! Details are at
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~wbc/reference.html in section 4.3
Understanding raw data
Cheers

Hi Daniel -- "some modeling stuff" indeed! In addition to full runs of
ECMWF, LAPS and meso-LAPS, US MRF and GASP in glorious colour, there's
also the UNSW (Lance Leslie's) 0.05 degree wind model for the Sydney
basin which takes about 5 years to download, but is worth the wait.
Get in while you can!

Unfortunately, the archive is now back to just 24 hours -- there is
also about 2 weeks of august satpix there, but they appear to be files
stranded by some breakdown in an automatic deletion script.
Are you aware of the 45N to 45S hourly/half-hourly IR images available
from the archive at

these seem to be intact at the times when the global images cut off

To show that I'm not totally slack, Here's a story:
I've been doing some part time work in a photocopier shop
in Wyoming (near Gosford.. near Woy Woy).
A woman came in yesterday to have some posters laminated.
They were taken by her son Christian about a year ago
and had been blown up to 500mm wide.
One was the most beautiful and impressive lightning strike I've ever seen.
I thought you lot might be interested so here it is:
http://www.acay.com.au/~adderley/lightning/
Christian is not on the net yet so I'll have to transpond any correspondence
manually.
Since the pic was so big it scanned well and I intend to print him out a
copy
of the one I've posted.
The original had power lines running right through the middle
but I've managed to edit them out.
On Christian's behalf and permission, I'd like to submit them to your photo
competition.
When I finally get organised I may mave some of my own to submit.
It's probably very rude of me to blunder in this way as I have not even paid
my subscription.
My apologies..
This will happen.
With regards,
Peter Adderley.

Paul, the Hong Kong Weather Underground at
http://www.underground.org.hk/ has latest warnings and information.
The latest on York is that it's about 100km W of Hong Kong and
weakening. There's a very nice Java movie of it at

if you get in quick!

That was yesterday (Sep 15)
Today, Birdsville was just 24 - quite a drop.
