As I have said previously, Sydney has had 11 consecutive Octobers that were 
below average  ie not significant. Now this means that this October will 
break that record away and I can now relax!!!

Hi all,

Last night didn't prove fruitful for Brisbane, the t'storms just didn't
go past the border, and there just wasn't enough heat to allow the line
of showers and weak t'storms from near Stanthorpe to Roma to take off. 
Right now though, (7am) there's already a couple of cells on the border
ranges (near Warwick), these are moving SE though, but there's further
showers to the north.  We get one last chance of t'storms from this
system, lets hope we finally get something!

Right now, it's 21.7C, DP of 20C and the wind has turned to the NE (vs a
light W'ly landbreeze when I woke up) at about 5-10kn.

Barometer is 1012 and steady, the sky has a mixture of As/Cs/Cc in it,
but no visible ACCAS from my house :/

Hi All,

The storm that had affected Stanthorpe early evening last night made it to
my place at 10.45pm. Torrential rain for 5 mins then not much for 10 mins,
then very strong and gusty winds hit at 11pm with moderate or light rain.
Lightning was still infrequent. The strong winds and rain kept up till
around midnight. I had been watching this cell on radar for 4 hours, but my
connection dropped just as it got here.

This morning there is another cell tracking ESE but a little further south
than last nights, so it wont hit my location. Rumbles of thunder have been
heard since 8am (currently 8.50am). The cell looks to be headed for Evans
Head - Halden!!

As with Anthonys comments, it looks like more will move in from the same
direction later on. There is some accas around here, fog patches and the
storm to my SW.

regards, Michael

Yep  I recall these situations when the cloud band and rain cleared and 
then storms developed later with strong winds and hail even in Sydney. Dry 
air will then follow as the NW winds turn W

We are heading on a chase. As usual I am going so anyone who wants to chase

Radar shows a large area of pink over the escarpment, could be some flash flooding for suburbs near the escarpment. Moving slowly S/SE by the looks of the radar. Winds strong to Gale force, but nothing exceptional, much the same strength as your typical westerly blow, except of course this is from the SE. Estimate 35 knots, odd stronger gust. Steady rain here in Mt Warrigal all night, but then again I live in the part of the Illawarra that is furthermost from the escarpment, therefore you can expect to double totals for other suburbs.

Does this mean it has cleared over your way Jimmy ?
 
Thunder is getting more frequent here now, even close ! Radar is serving a treat for the escarpment at present.

Rainfall was torrential, the heaviest I have seen in a few years. We have several roads cut, but as yet no reports of damage. Both Macquarie Pass and Jamberoo Pass are closed to traffic. As usual with this sort of event I witnessed the odd idiot or two, in one instance I saw a flooded piece of road ahead about 12 -18 inches deep, the two cars in front of me just ploughed into it at 60kph thinking that sending jets of water 20 ft in the air was the best way of keeping your electrical system dry, they paid the price and on my way back home where still stranded. Some close CG's as well, but too much rain to do anything with cameras. Clearing now, but as Jimmy said earlier I think this will just enhance further storm development, right now we have a very interesting cell near Taree. Paul M, any eye witness reports ?

It only lasted for about five minutes, before soon retracting, and there wasn't much scud, but it was 100% rotating. My parents came back through the Ipswich area (despite my advice not to), and encountered 10 cent piece horrizontal hail. They almost slammed into another car, that had selfishly and stupidly parked in the middle of a highway, underneath an overpass to avoid the hail (the side of the road was already filled with cars sheltering from the hail). They said the winds pushed the car around the road, and there were lots of large branches lying on the road. -- Anthony Cornelius Queensland Coordinator of the Australian Severe Weather Association (ASWA) (07) 3390 4812 14 Kinsella St Belmont, Brisbane QLD, 4153 Please report severe thunderstorms on our Queensland severe thunderstorm reporting line on (07) 3390 4218 or by going to our homepage at http://www.severeweather.asn.au +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ 034 From: "Phil" [philp at corplink.com.au] To: [aussie-weather at world.std.com] Subject: Re: aus-wx: Melbourne excitement (not) Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 14:56:26 +1000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2314.1300 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Melbourne (2.50 pm) Partly cloudy (scattered fair-weather Cu) and Cs in the far north and east (from the low pressure system tracking south).

The first stop was the lookout at Rous, about 10ks S of my place that has views of the entire coastal area between the Great Divide to Tenterfield (west) and Grafton to the south. Large storm cells were well established by now. As the activity was moving along a NW-SE line it was obvious that I should head further west to seek new development areas, hopefully around Casino. My chase took me through to Wyrallah (S of Lismore), stopping quickly for photos of the boiling updrafts to my SW. At Parrots Nest and now 1.10pm the cell of my main attention was about 30ks away, and multicellar development spread NW from there to a weaker looking cell. Continuous base lowerings, some very significant, kept my attention. Some prongs were visible but I was too far away to notice any motion, apart from the whole cell moving ESE. I moved closer to Casino, which is S then W from Lismore. I found another great spot in a lane off the Bruxner Hwy (there are so many here as it is nearly all cleared grazing land) and observed the main event directly to the S. The weaker cell to my west looked even weaker now, but another one had developed further NW, and with the movement towards the ESE, should move towards me. I decided to move to Casino, for 3 reasons: to get closer to the next cells (even though they looked weaker), to ensure safety if hail enveloped the area, and the cell I had been watching was heading ESE very quickly and not chaseable. Approaching Casino just after 2pm, the cell I had been watching to the W had really got its act together. Beautiful rippled rain free base in two sections, and very quickly developing precipitation cascades. Incredible upwards motion of the scuds was just great to see, and I was only a few hundred metres from the precip. It soon had the appearence of a hail shaft, and the storm took off in a ESE direction, so I took off back E down the Hwy, trying to find a S turnoff that may lead to an intercept. After about 12ks was the Tatham turnoff. The storm was now directly S a few ks down this road, with a nice hail shaft on the right (SW) and spectacular prong from the base on the left (N flank). I filmed while driving as there was no traffic and it was flat and straight, and moved as close as I could get. The first lightning of the day (that I saw) spreared right out of the lowered base - fantastic! The storm was really moving, so I stopped and watched as the flanking line came into view. Very nice boiling updrafts kept the whole structure crisp, and the lowerings topped it off very nicely. The cell I mentioned earlier to the NW was looking a bit tired now, and I did not expect it to be significant, so I decided to head after the storm that was moving away to the ESE. Even travelling at 100km/h on a road heading mostly E I could not catch up with it, but did get to a nice new position on the Coraki road, about 15ks S of Lismore. I stopped at 3pm in a laneway and watched as the storm just exploded on the rear flank - it was just incredible - this huge boiling mass punch up the backside of the storm. It really took on a supercell structure from the side I was on, a solid anvil was spreading out on both sides into the distance, topping off the spectacle. At various stages during the next 20 mins, significant lowerings developed, including a funnel shaped cloud at one stage. It was great to watch but moving away too quickly again. I decided to head back home at 3.30pm as drier air was preading in and no further activity was occurring to the W. Congestus got going over Lismore and gave some heavy showers, with further congestus and cbs into this evening, but all east of about Alstonville. Some lightning about, but another very low lightning count day today.

I am trying to work out the events of the morning in relation to the low. We had steady rain with gale force SE most of the night. Around 9am a line of storms got together south of Sydney in a SW/NE line from Botany Bay to Waterfall. At the surface what I noticed was that thunder from 9.30am became more frequent and the SE winds swung lighter NE, there was a definite squall line aligned NE/SW, CG's popped from the edge of the squall. However the main rain came in from the NW, with a definite wind shift to the NW as well. We had several minutes of torrential rain mixed with marble sized hail. As the system moved south this line spun slightly on its west end axis so that by the time it reached south of Wollongong it was laying more E/W in very much all in the pink on radar. I think what happened was the actual low centre passed overhead. I cannot explain the abrupt wind change in any other way. I have seen wind changes in ECL on many occasions as the low moves SE and the winds back around to the SW, but never has it been so sharp, we are talking minutes.

The green flash is copper vaporising. I doubt if the glow would be from an arc inside the transformer. Most likely it is from the copper mains (ie wires near the transformer). Using an 11 kV feeder as an example. For a nominal voltage of 11 kV (kV means 1000, so 11 kV is 11,000 Volts) the feeder would be designed for a Basic Insulation Level (BIL) of 95 kV. To withstand 95 kV BIL the distance between phases (or the conductors) can be as low as 176 mm (I think). This means that you can energise two conductors to a potential of 95 kV (at 20 C, atmospheric pressure at sea level, specified humidity, specified pollution level, blah, blah) and the electricity would not flash over between the conductors. When lightning strikes a powerline it ionises the air between the phases. The ionised air has far lower impedance than normal air and electricity flashes over. Once the arc is struck it becomes, to a large degree, self-sustaining. The arc will continue until the power supply is interrupted or the arc becomes elongated (twisted and extended by its own magnetic fields) and it get "blown out". In the latter case, the air in the arc area is still heavily ionised and the arc can re-strike. Back at the electricity substation there are high voltage circuit breakers. (With design principal very similar to the circuit breakers on the switchboard in your home.) Associated with the circuit breakers is protection and control equipment that monitors the feeder for faults. There are many variations on feeder layouts and the associated protection gear. A typical overhead feeder would be rated at 300 A (A is for amperes). One typical protection scheme measures the current flowing in the feeder between phases (ie, 300 A) and the leakage current to earth (can be up to 5 Amps). Now, for various reason, the protection does not trip the circuit breaker the instant the phase to phase current exceeds 300 A. For one typical protection scheme the "trip curve" follows what is called an Inverse Definite Minimum Time (IDMT) curve. If the phase to phase current on the feeder is, say, 400 Amps the feeder will trip off after 5 minutes. If the phase to phase current is, say, 1000 Amps the feeder will trip after, say, 3 seconds. (Remember the curve is "inverse".) If the phase to phase current is, say, 6000 A, the feeder will trip off after, say, 300 milliseconds. But because the relay is Definite Minimum Time the protection will not operate any quicker than 300 milliseconds. The next consideration is the impedance (in other words resistance) of the overhead conductor. If a fault occurs close in to a substation the impedance of the overhead conductor is low. This causes a nice "fat" arc to occur (caused by the high fault current). One would expect the circuit breaker to clear the fault in around 0.85 seconds. (This is made up of the protection relay waiting 30 power cycles at 0.02 seconds per cycle, plus 0.25 seconds for the circuit breaker mechanism to operate.) If a fault occurs on the remote end of the feeder, the impedance is higher, the fault current is lower, and the protection waits longer before operating. But the arc itself is weaker. Power transformers are protected from lightning by surge arresters. These are about the size of a soft drink can. You can see them sitting near the terminals of the transformer. One side of the arrester is connected to the high voltage conductor and the other side is connected to the tank of the transformer. When exposed to an overvoltage the surge arrester conducts electricity. As the arrester is conducting electricity the internal semiconductor heats up, changing its electrical characteristics, and becomes more resistive. At some point it becomes so resistive that it stops conducting electricity (hopefully the overvoltage has passed) and everything returns to normal. What power transformers do not like is being exposed to fault currents. When a fault occurs, the upstream transformer supplies the fault current. Large fault currents produce large magnetic fields. Large magnetic fields produce large motive forces on the internal winding of the transformer. A new transformer can well withstand these internal forces. But as a transformer ages the internal insulating papers become brittle and the cleats loose. Occasionally a transformer is exposed to one fault too many and it fails internally. Because the transformer is contained inside a (nearly) explosion proof tank you cannot see much from the outside. Sometimes you cannot see much on the inside either. But occasionally a de-tanked transformer looks like a bird's nest. Most faults on an overhead powerline are themselves transient in nature. Example; after a lightning strike and the initial fault has cleared the feeder can be returned to service. Most circuit breaker protecting overhead feeders are equipped with "reclosers". When the feeder trips a timer starts in the control system. After, say, 20 seconds, the circuit breaker connecting the feeder to the power grid is closed (ie, re-closed). If the fault is still there the circuit breaker trips and "lockouts" so it cannot be closed until the protection and control system is reset. But, about 8 times out of 10, the reclosure is successful. You have probably noticed this yourself when, during a storm, the power goes off for a few seconds then comes back on. These days, most power utilities also have automated control systems that can transfer feeder buses from one source to another. I have probably over-answered you original question a bit. Network performance during thunderstorms is a complex field, the stuff of dissertations.

Just when i thought the storms had cleared, a line of electrical storms has developed in line NE of Brisbane.. the line cuts the coast around the northern end of the Sunshine coast, extends NW into the Wide Bay and also extends SE into northern Moreton Bay.. a storm on the northern end of the line is truly electrical with very frequent lightning and some awesome anvil crawlers (i even observed a CG striking OUTSIDE of the storm from the top of the anvil!!!!).. some storms also developed further on the southern end of the line after 9pm, and in no time at all one of the storms had a very large overshoot and the lightning was just going spastic with tonnes of anvil crawlers and a few strong Cg's observed (i am a considerable distance from these storms).. 90% of the lightning is in cloud or anvil crawler lightning.. the tracker is picking up 90 Cg's every 5 minutes at the moment (10:30pm).. but if it picked up all lightning it would be showing in excess of 500 per 5 minutes.. It has calmed down a little now (the storm on the northern end of the line is still going strong though).. but the whole line remains quite active.. they could go all night.. My dad drove through the storm on the northern end of the line on his way home, and described it as 'one hell of a storm'.. but it was all rain and lots of lightning, very little wind and no hail.. This is the best lightning show i have observed in SE QLD in 2 years.. but that doesn't really say much, we didn't have many good night storms last year (bar one or two on the border ranges/gold coast area).. We could possibly see more storms in SE QLD on Wednesday.. although AVN has been performing poorly in some aspects over the past few days.. so i wouldn't be relying on it's forecasts too much (especially LI's).. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------
