Even though the potential is still there, the models just don't like to put 
Sydney next to a very low LI value. It has in the latest model shifted it 
N. The winds were favourable and to me are still favourable around Sydney 
to Mudge areas. Unfortunately, the Illawarra has decided it doesn't need 
storms. Hopefully the revised models won't do the trick on us again in a 
bad way.

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..

Well AVN wasn't looking too bad yesterday, with LI's of -4 and -5 (very
small areas.. main area was -3) in NE NSW and some low LI's extending up
into SE QLD as well.. it was Saturday, so we (James Chambers, Anthony
Cornelius and myself) decided we might as well go for a drive and see
what we could find..

The showers and storms ended up developing a fair way west of our
initial target area, and by the time we got close enough to photograph
anything it was after 4pm in the afternoon.. and it never really took
off.. there were a few storms in NSW, but nothing too strong.. we spent
most of the afternoon umming and arring at which thundery shower to
chase.. 

We did end up seeing some great updrafts on the back of a developing
shower/very weak storm.. but it ended up fizzing out as well.. 

I think the following paragraph sums up the chase quite well..

( at *&#$(*) at &#$*()& at #$%#%# at !# at !# at #$# at $(*& at #$ at #$)* pulse
*(#$(&()_*&*^ at ^%#$&* ^%#*&&^%%$&^)_(*# at $ storms * at &#$ at &*(#^$*( at &$&*
($# at *& at #$*( at #*$# at *&$*(# at &$ (* at #&$*()&(*(&^%$! at #))_#$............

It is looking good for parts of the eastern states during the first half
of next week.. and towards the end of next week could really go off with
a MAJOR upper level system forecast by EC..

THE AUSTRALIAN SEVERE WEATHER ASSOCIATION INC WEEKLY NEWSLETTER - Issue
13



The Australian Severe Weather Association Inc (ASWA) is here to provide a
platform for discussion into severe weather, research and education. A
lot has been written about about Australia's severe weather in the past
and you can view many different stories of people's experience with the
weather in the offical ASWA magazine "Storm News". Discussion
about the latest weather and a great place to learn from is the aus-wx
mailing list from which ASWA Inc was originally formed. The mailing list
is 

filled with people who are eager to help teach others about all aspects
of meterology and to share their experiences.



Membership into the ASWA Inc is $30 a year (with access to the Bureau of
Meterology's radar and a quarterly subscription to "Storm News) or
if you don't wish for radar $20 a year (with the quarterly subscription
to "Storm News" still remaining.) Both visitors and members are
welcomed to attend State Meetings. State Meetings are held in Western
Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland in
their capital cites. Members can also have the chance to buy an ASWA
T-shirt in either polo or round neck styles. If you would like to join
you can visit the ASWA Inc website at
http://www.severeweather.asn.au/
and fill in an online application form or get in contact with your State Rep. All details can be found at the website.

Special Thanks

Weather News



South Australia



On Thursday night, electrical storms developed over the Gulf to the West of Adelaide, and also in the South and North East



Queensland



With AVN going for -5LI's on the border ranges, and the morning starting off warm and humid, with soft Congestus already going up by 8:30am, we couldn't resist the temptation to chase. Our initial target area was Beaudesert, but soon this changed to Boonah, and then Warwick. When we arrived at Warwick at 5pm, there was lots of fresh development. Congestus towers were popping up all over the place, soon we had several cells to choose from. Unfortunately, they were all single cellular, and 

just came down as quickly as they went up. We did observe a few nice things (ie updrafts,) and a nice sunset, but at 6:30pm we decided to call it a day. It was potentially, a very good situation though, the development in Warwick had the "I could explode any minute" look to it, perhaps if it had been 2-3C warmer, it would have. The total chase distance was 700km, certainly a very long day.
