This may not mean much to those of you who have lately experienced
thunderstorms, tornadoes or heavy rain, but in Victoria we have *needed*
some weather and haven't been getting it.  Tonight that's looking a bit
different - there are currently middle level showers around the
metropolitan area (10-20mm/hr to the east & in Bass Strait) & some
serious totals in the southwest of the state.

NEWSFLASH:
Lightning to the SE near Pakenham at midnight!!!!!

By 2355 we had the following rainfall totals in the southwest of the
state....
AireysInlet	6
Cape Otway	16
Casterton   	2
Casterton CFA	9
Colac   	3
Cp  Nelson 	8
Dartmoor 	9
Hamilton   	8
Mortlake   	6
Port Fairy  	5
Portland    	13

Wonthaggi   	2

Our Forecast Outlook & Discussion page is on the ball again 

PS: ...and Anthony thinks *he* suffers from SDS?????

Hi again...just replying to my own email (nothing wrong with me)

JTWC just issued this Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert:
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
150 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 14.6S1 155.3E4 TO 16.9S6
149.7E1 WITHIN THE NEXT 12 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 30 KNOTS.
METSAT IMAGERY AT 311230Z0 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 15.2S8 154.7E7. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 08 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS RAPID ORGANIZATION OF
CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. UW-CIMSS ANALYSIS REVEALS WEAK
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE AREA AND GOOD OUTFLOW ALOFT. 200 MB
ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT THE CONVECTION IS LOCATED BENEATH THE UPPER-
LEVEL RIDGE AXIS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 30
KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED AT 1002 MB. THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS NOW GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 011500Z7

Perhaps the first advice from the Bureau is not too far away.
Today is afterall the 1st April. Not just April fools day but the day the 
low that was to develop into Cyclone Aivu started to get it's act together. 
Severe TC Aivu (category 4) hit the town of Ayr on 4th April 1989. I lived 
there then and it is a day I'll never forget. According to my plotting if 
Tessi or Tania or whover she may be continues on her current track she may 
also pay Ayr a friendly visit!

James was right :) Here comes Tessie.
But she must go south west to strike Ayr - she is currently West South West. 
So what's the predictions guys? Where will she end up. I still have my bets 
on Cyclone Alley (Between Ingham and The Whitsundays).

PS Your right Anthony - you do need help. But so do us all !!!

HI there..

Just took phone call for Lightning strike in Cumnock. Has hit one of our
poles and brought wires down.

GPATS Lightning tracker shows lightning near Cumnock Yeoval, Molong areas.
The storm has moved from
Cobar area and now down to area above.

Hi everyone,

Even though the models have not picked it up as much but I think the 
atmosphere is in a state destabilisation. We have had widespread 
castellanus all morning and now the middle layers are closing in. Sydney 
can get something out of this as the cold front is weak and seems to have 
stalled and perhaps the prefrontal trough is developing. I noticed on the 
satellite picture that some cells seem to b forming along this trough 
especially near Mudgee and NW.

Mario and I have therefore decided enough was enough and we will chase and 
perhaps stay overnight for tomorrows ideal situation given the jet. We will 
see what happens though.

Mario's phone   0409 924 338

my phone   0408 020 468

Let's hope my birthday is a great one

have a great day
Jimmy Deguara

Interesting to see discussion over the last couple of days about RFD's
(rear flank downdrafts).

Personally I have difficulty coming to terms with a diagrammatic
contortionist view of flow patterns in a supercell (refer some of the 2D
diagrams available in some textbooks), sometimes resembling an image of
a cat that had been kicked in the guts ie: arms, legs and tails
everywhere.  Not for me to argue with this theory, nevertheless I
wouldn't say that at some stage or other such airflow patterns may or
may not exist in supercells.  

I wish to offer an exercise to all our amateur & professional
meteorologists, weather enthusiasts and 'farmer joes' - could all of you
as individuals describe in your own words what you think an RFD is and
how it operates, and what its causes may be or whether it exists at all.

Kind regards

The Cyclone names list at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames.html was wrong.

Eastern Australian Region

It has on the 2nd column

Rona
Sandy
Tessi

and on the 3rd column

Rebecca
Steve
Tania

As Steve was the last cyclone in this region, automaticly Tania should me next,
but that page messed up, Steve should have been where Sandy was.

Hi All.

I have started a TC Tessi map animation at
http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/TessiAnim.htm

Will update tonight, but ISP congestion could mean this will not be until
around midnight AEST (1400 UTC).

Have pasted the 1st JTWC warning on Tessi (22P) below.

Hey All. 

Currently on the wetlands east of Darwin. 3 strokes of lighting per 
second - and stretches from North to South. Is amazing - as usual 
radar is down and so I cant tell which way its moving - but I think 
its a squall line so its moving westwards and I should expect it 
around 12.

Dear Jane,

Can you tell me if you know of any television/video program past or
present on Australian weather?

If you do, can you please let me know when it was broadcast and what
network or were I can get a copy of the video.

Yours sincerely, PETER COCHRANE

Dear all,

A complete directory of active Australian storm chasers has yet to be
done I think - there are a couple overseas...are we as a group
interested in something like this being made available on the
net??....thoughts would be appreciated.  For an idea of the sort of
thing I'm thinking of, have a look at
http://thedixons.net/stormtrack/whoswho.asp

Depending on the level of interest we may look at doing something like
this....anyone interested, and have thoughts about the sort of info to
be included eg: photo, best pic ever taken etc.
