Hi All.

The TC Tessi map animation at
http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/Tessi2Anim.htm has been updated with BoM
TCA#10.

According to the BoM, Tessi has taken on a more W track towards the coast
between Townsville and Lucinda at 18 km/hr, CP now 988 hPa (mb), with max
wind gusts to 120 km/hr.

It should cross the coast in a few hours.

BoM TCA#10 and JTWC#4 pasted below.

Regards,
Carl.

Hi All.

Some of you may be interested in TC Hudah, which is due to make landfall in
Madagascar within the next 6 hours. With CP 905 hPa and winds gusting to
150 knots (about 280 km/hr), this is a Cat 5 monster of a cyclone, which
will have disasterous consequences for Madagascar which has already been
battered by two major cyclones in the last two months.

Email and JTWC and MFR LA REUNION warnings pasted below.

Regards,
Carl.

Storms in Sydney tomorrow are a likely bet.

NE wind, 
temps around 26-28
500 temps of around -12
70knot odd Jet at 250
-3 LI

The cloud from the trough cleared late afternoon and there are clear skies
with small fog areas at the moment. A spectacular sunset was seen in sydney
today, anyone get photos ? (i was at work)

Keep your eyes open tomorrow people, I have the day off ( woohoo ) and will
be chasing if things are still looking good.

Those poor people in madagascar... even worse, i believe with the last 2
cyclones to hit there, all the landmines around the country got uncovered
by flood waters and spread all around the place.. and all the maps they had
of where the landmines were are now useless :( ,  that country sure needs a
break from this kind of wx.

Anyway im off to bed. 

Matt Smith

Hi all,

Well - the low that was near New Caledonia is looking a lot nicer now,
and has moved NNW into even warmer waters.  With TC Tessi further away,
it might give it a chance to organise a good LLC, and upper level
outflow.

JTWC has also issued a TC Formation Alert on it:

WTPS21 PGTW 021930
RMKS/
1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT MORESBY
2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
200 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 15.8S4 161.4E2 TO 13.0S4
153.4E3 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 021730Z3 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 15.3S9 160.3E0. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTH-
NORTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS.
3. REMARKS:
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF
THE CONVECTION NEAR A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). IMAGERY ALSO REVEALS THAT THE SYSTEM IS SMALL (90
NM) IN AREAL EXTENT. 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS
MOVING UNDER THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS
UPGRADED TO GOOD.
4. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 031930Z6.//

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com
Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com

Hi all,

Jeff Callaghan was on the radio this morning saying that there were
gusts to 130km/h at Townsville.  Given that Townsville was a reasonable
distance from the eyewall (although on the southern side of the TC), it
certainly would be possible that higher gusts were received near the
eye.  This would certainly make sense, as IMO it was a Cat 2 from a lot
earlier then when the BoM had it - I think they must have changed it to
Cat 2 when the higher gusts came in?

Any thoughts/opinions?

I'm off to battle traffic...

The wall cloud in this photo ( which was taken looking from the NW)

Morning Everyone !

Well today should see storms. I will be heading to Bathurst/Lithgow based
on the model data ive seen. Although the hunter is really drawing me there
based on its "reputation" it has (ie big storms) i will still head to where
it looks best.

We have an ok jet today (65 knots), and things arent looking to bad at all.
Hail is also a reasonable possibility today.

0407 069 693

Any updates would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks !

Matt Smith

Daniel/James - If you here any confirmation about you know what, give us a
ring  and let me know what is happening. Thanks.

temperature) anomalies across the Southern Hemisphere mid/high latitudes
reflect the fact that the subtropical ridge (read belt of mid
latitude/subtropical high pressure) has in recent months been tending to lie
south of its normal position (for example in our region near Tasmania), with
the circumpolar trough (read belt of lows near the Antarctic Coast) being
strong than normal, and also lying south of normal. As a result, the region
near 35 to 45 south has been experiencing lighter winds and more stable
conditions - less cloud, rainfall, more sunshine, while further south, the
increase pressure gradient has resulted in stronger winds, and (probably)
increased cloudiness. Anyway, in the 35 to 45S range, one would expect the
SSTs to be warmer than normal because less wind implies less mixing of warm
surface water down, more sunshine implies more sun to heat water etc
(obvious really). Further south the increased wind would mean increased
mixing of warm water down, cool water up, meaning that SSTs would tend to be
cooler than normal. In a nutshell this seems to explain why most of the SSTs
near (say) 35S are anomalously warm, while those near 55S are anomalously
cool. The reason why SSTs are so very warm near Africa, appears in part to a
particularly strong anticyclone anomaly which has been occurring to the
southeast of Africa for some months - this may well be tied to the flooding
in east Africa - the observant will have noticed that when we have a very
active monsoon over Australia we tend to have strong highs in the Tasman
Sea, and a similar pattern would be expected near Africa (with stronger than
normal highs to the southeast).

Anyway, that seems to explain why it is so warm near 35S pretty much
everywhere in the Southern Hemisphere. As for where the very warm water near
Africa will go, I guess the best guess is towards the east (ie move towards
Australia). This is based on the fact that it seems to have been doing this
for sometime - see http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/mrlr/nrs/pastanal.htm , and
the general drift of currents in this region is west to east. As for how far
east it will get, and in what form, I guess it is anybodies guess, though I
would be suprised if it makes it to Australia.

David.

For those southerners like myself wondering how unusual Melbourne's
(Australia's) weather has been over the past 3 years take a lookie at,

http://www/climate/rainmaps/mntha36a.shtml
and
http://www/climate/rainmaps/mnthd36a.shtml

The contrast between record high rainfall in WA and record low rainfall in
southern Vic is quite amazing. As they say.. "a month without records is a
record month" but none-the-less maps like this do get one thinking about
climate variability.
Of course, the situation in Victoria has also been exacerbated by the warmth
of the past four summers.

Just a reminder to the people that have been on this list for a while, and
for others that have recently joined, about our Aussie-Weather guidelines.

The guidelines are at:

http://members.iinet.net.au/~jacob/auswx.html

I have had several complaints by some that a few on the list continue to
break Guideline number 4 and 9.

So please try not to over post to the a list every day, a few a day is
fine, but it starts to clutter email boxes when you start to make several
on the same day, and please try to set your email clients to normal next.

Thanks.

Since 5pm some anvils have become visible west of the escarpment, perhaps
150-200km distant. I think they will expire before making the Illawarra.

There is one slight sign of encouragement and that is fresh congestus is
forming from a lower bank of junky cloud under the shade of anvil, that
means that the convection may sustain after dark.

Townsville is getting some very heavy rain out of Cyclone Tessi.
On top of the 202mm they got in the 24 hours to 9 this morning, the
latest metars show that they have received 164mm in the 9 hours 9-6,
with heavy rain continuing (9.2mm in the last 10 minutes, or about
55mm/hour), giving a storm total of 366mm with no sign of a let-up.

Here in the UK there was a series called "Southern Exposure" which was all

Theres another one on tonight here at 55N - "Savage Planet" about
lightning - if the prieview is anything to go by it (MASSIVE IC / CC, like
horizon to horizon,  with the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the foreground)
should be fairly action - packed. I'm going to Mpeg this one and get it off

And the lightning is a yellow colour. Might be a enjoyable evening.
