Hi all.
Something interesting happening over south east Australia over the next
12-24 hours. The impressive and now complex low near Mt Gambier is the
primary centre ,but it appears a small centre is developing just off the
south east corner of NSW and VIC. This may result in the cloud band wrapping
around the whole system and coming ashore across Victoria possibly the
central and eastern parts of the state. With a bit of luck may result in
enhanced rainfall sufficient for useful runoff in those areas.
Still overall all of south eastern Aus: is well into the unstable levels ,so
keep a lookout today. regards Clyve Herbert.

Taralga (NSW STs  at  850m), 0956 EST: 

Hi all,

Not much happening here at the moment - I guess we're between the front
and a very interesting looking cloud mass in the middle of the state.
There's a few scattered 'snow' clouds about and we had a big fall of
heavy sleet late last night in the pre-frontal rain band. I expect from
the AWS obs at the time that it was snowing in Orange (0C at 0130 EST)
and surrounding areas although Bathurst was still pretty warm at about
5C.

I don't really know what to expect later, have to wait and see.

Andrew.

Hi Jimmy.
Nice photo of Pyrocu: pileus, The updraft in the Pyrocu is strong enough to
lift a stable moist layer above its condensation level,In respect to Pyrocu:
I have seen a photo of a Pyrocumilonimbus that produced a shower in the U.S.
i will have to dig it up and have a closer look. Has anybody out there seen
a shower or storm generated by large forest/grass fires? regards Clyve H.

Hi people

Well what an interesting day it was yesterday.
Since my car is now back in action, a day of patroling the country side was 
in order. After I had my class in the morning; test actually, I assessed the 
situation and found the sky to be full of large Cu's and some Cbs, whether 
they are proper flash bang Cbs was yet to be discovered. So when I got home 
I was suprised to see a nice big fat Tower hovering over the court where I 
live, so I took the 35mm camera out and snapped of 2 or 3 shots, hmmmmmmm a 
bit of mamma unter that one, but no flash bang, damn cold air cells. So I 
had some lunch and started to watch "Fight Club"; which is a awesome show, 
and looked out the window every now and then, but one time I looked out to 
the south there was a magnificent Cell, stood tall and vertical with good 
crisp shape and a over shoot through the anvil, so I got oout to the car and 
headed out the road to have a closer look.

Heading west, about 10kms out I then headed down a dirt road which was a 
good spot to park and get some shots of, which I did, the Cell was looking 
awesome, it had very little or no rain falling from it, and it had a great 
bank of mamma behind it, I was thinking yup, a supercell is born. It was 
also starting to show some cloud lowering, but I was to far away to see if 
it was rotating. So happy with that I headed back into town to visit a 
friend from class, and play some pool.

When I left there I was going to go home, but to my suprise, the sky was 
full of mamma, and very dark in all directions. So I went to my 
Grandmothers, where I have a high tower which is great to watch the weather 
from. Upon taking more photos the Cells where moving away very quickly, but 
there was no flash bang, typical Cold Air Cells.

So from there I went home to finish watching Fight Club, and also snapped of 
a few more shots of dying Cold Air cells.

All in all a good day, but no flash bang; what is going on!

More storms are on the cards today, so perhaps another chase.

Les
PS Pics to come soon.

Clyve,

Afetr many years in the CFA, I haven't seen this happen yet, but would be
great to see a pic of it if you can dig that one up. Seen plenty of funnels
though, one even reaching the base during an intense burnoff a few years
ago.......

Ditto just to my west in NE NSW (11.45am), though the wind is howling here.

bring it on! - just in time for the Torch Relay passing through Lismore and
Ballina areas today.

Wednesday Midday  6 degrees Fresh NW  


G'day Andrew and all,

Yes, similar stuff here. It got down to around 1 degree here last night
and we had 3.5mm of what may have been sleet with that rain band, I was
in bed, so I can't confirm it.

Look forward to tonight/tomorrow if the forecasts hold true,
thunderstorms maybe this arvo and snow tomorrow.

Cheers,


Lindsay Pearce

Our soundings show some very nice instability, and there is currently
several mid level anvils around my location with strong and/or boiling
updrafts at the rear

Afternoon to all of you webcam chasers......

I've just spoken to Peter at omni-net http://webcam.omni.net.au/  - the
people who bring you the great images of Melbourne.

The camera that we've all been watching for so long is being replaced with
another (even better!!) & there are 2 more cameras being installed that will
be worth while keeping an eye out for.

One will be at 391 St Kilda Road & look out over Port Phillip Bay & the
other will be on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge!!!!!  Both are almost
operational, so it's worth bookmarking the page & checking frequently.  I'll
also let you know on the MSC What's New page when it happens.

Hi all,

Storms are beginging to pop up (and down again) like sun flowers here.
We've had intermittent hail showers for a while but if one of these
beauties makes it's way over (very hard to track!) we'll have a dumping
of the stuff!

I just though I would post what I can see out my window now. Large cumulus
clouds, some growing quite quickly. Some are very dark. A little rain. Also
one seemed to have a spinning section of cloud beneath it. No tornado though
:-) ! Seriously, what is the chance of anything happening today? I had a
look at the lightning tracker and there has been some recent lightning.

David Findlay

P.S. I don't know all the technical terms for the stuff I have just said, so
please enlighten me!

With interesting happenings likely across NSW, Vic and Tas over the
next day or two, I've begun putting large-scale plotted surface
analyses on my site -- go to the obvious link at the top of
http://ausweather.simplenet.com. I'll be trying to update them
3-hourly. Given the borderline nature of upper temperatures for
snow/storms, the location of surface lows and nearby convergence will
be important, and the plots should be useful. 

Just a word of warning; the pressure/rainfall analysis is based only
on the plots you see, so analysis over ocean areas, except where ship
observations exists, is meaningless. However, the action most worth
watching will be in Vic and southern NSW where the obs are good.

As I write, hail has started to fall at Blackheath NSW, though the
temp in my screen is 7.5. Some good Cu development to the SW. Time is
2pm. 

Some good storms in the far SE late morning, with Gabo Island
reporting 17mm 9am to noon with the storm continuing at noon. Flinders
Island AP had 50mm for the 24 hours to 9am and 13.6mm 9 to noon. 35mm
fell between 2am and 9am, so that's 48.6 for the 10 hours to noon.

14:40 EST McLeans Ridges.

A couple of fairly weak cells have passed through the Lismore area in the
past 90 minutes. All the storms cells I have observed (and they are in all
directions) are low topped and very much pushed over in appearance, with
little substance to them. All appear to be a result of a very rapid updraft
with beautiful boiling cumulus reaching to about 8 or 9 km in height, then
being pushed over and glaciating. A relatively small base remains on the NW
flank with 'steps' of cumulus rising to the SE (the direction they are
rapidly moving towards). This SE side has very little cloud in it, just
some precip from higher levels. Besides this though, the updrafts look
quite spectacular, there are base lowerings, back shearings and quite a bit
of CG activity. The storm that passed near my place at 1pm had at least a
dozen long rumbles of thunder from close CGs.

Radar indicates that cells are becoming a lot larger once they cross the coast.

regards, Michael

Hi all, just a brief email between work shifts

Going out the door this morning I saw a TCU in the corner of my eye - it was
then I decided to bring the cameras to work just in case.  (If it wasn't for
that cloud, I would have gone camcorder-less hehe).  Anyway, at work I was
drooling as I looked outside and luckily I got out early at 2pm.  I then
flew up to the rooftop carpark and it was pouring down.  Several CGs struck
around me and just as I parked the car under some hail nets...can you
guess???

Yep it hailed, and it was driven by winds of 50-60km/h.  Hailstones were
just over pea size (not severe) and despite being under the nets, the wind
blew these onto the car at times.  Quite a racket!!  My first hail for a
long time - by Brisbane standards.  The hail lasted 3-4mins and soon the
rain melted most of it away.

I tried to stay under the hail seeing it was not going to dent the car, but
traffic conspired against me.  Instead, I found a number of clearings and
took photos of absolutely awesome Cb structure.  I think I took the best
part of 2 rolls.  I didn't forget to video that as well.

The last hour or so I took more pics of the awesome Cb structures.  Ahh...I
love it!!!!!

There'll be a report on my site within a few days.

I'm a happy man, regards
James Chambers

Just had a call from Anthony Cornelius in Brisbane who is heading down
to Redcliffe to watch a pretty stunning lightning show from 6 or so
separate cells (showing up as 100+ on the local radar) heading SE across
North Stradbroke & Moreton Islands.  He's been travelling just a bit in
the 'Emergency Stormchaser' lane while taking pics and watching
lightning instead of the road (hey - he does that too!!  I thought I was
the only one who did that).  This afternoon they had 2 hailstorms while
he was at work & lots of LOUD THUNDER (as he wrote on his SMS to
me............

I called him a 'bastard' - I'm allowed to - he's got the storms we
haven't <g>

I think they meant "local small cats and dogs possible with thunderstorms".

I know that they use "hail nets" to protect vines over here in south west
W.A. Usually they are about a foot or so above the vines. They pretty much
work unless we have large hail. Another advantage in using them is that
they provide some protection against birds.

Hi Clyve,

Yes this was an interesting pyrocu that I just raced, grabbed the camera 
and took two photos. There was a burnoff 3 km from where we live.

In terms of a other pyrocumulus, I saw a few years ago the most spectacular 
structure caused by a blazing bushfire in the . I rushed home to take a 
photo with the camera, but alas was too late and also didn't look as good. 
This bushfire reminded me of some nice structured thunderstorms with anvils 
and all. But as to whether this produced a shower or whatever, I doubt it.

Mark, I always thought they meant jellyfish but I guess they wouldn't want 
to alarm anyone.  At least now I have peace of mind.  I'll leave an extra 
bowl of Whiskas out when I feed the cats tonight.

Hello all,
    I've also observed some nice pyrocu over the last few years. Do any of
you recall the Dandenongs fire that killed two people a few years back?
Well, since I live in the Dandenongs, in the small town of Tecoma, we were
ordered to evacuate by the CFA for the fire was immediately in the valley
bellow us. Upon returning back to our luckily untouched residence, there was
some very beautiful and impressive pyrocu appearing to almost glow red from
the dimmed sun behind it. It was quite a scene. Unfortunately, to my
knowledge, I didn't get a photo of it however, I truly wish I had!

    On another point, here is a link to the Pyrocumulus section at the
Holland Weather-Photography page:
http://www.weather-photography.com/Cloud_Atlas/pyrocumulus.html

Hope you like!

Cheers,
Deano

Hello again,
    Although the discussion has moved on from pileus, I just thought that
some of you might be interested in some nice pileus pics:

I was fortunate enough to be in Brisbane today (and for the past four days) 
and saw some absolutely beautiful cells from south Brisbane (looking over 
the CBD which would be north?) at around 3:00pm. I was in a meeting at the 
exhibition centre when a cell moved over us -  the rain sounded quite heavy 
and I heard some nice rumbles, and I have no idea what the meeting was 
about.  An enthusiastic cab driver said there was hail reported somewhere in 
SE QLD - no idea where.

RE Hail nets...I don't think they're actually designed as hail nets,
they're more cheap sunshade for rooftop carparks, but they make handy
hail shelters :)

Hi Everyone,

Whilst we are on the subject of Pyrocumulus here are two video stills of
what would have to be the best Pyrocumulus I have ever seen. They were taken
off a video which my dad filmed during the devastating Blue Mountains fires
of January 94.

They meant "local smalls possible with thunderstorms" -- knickers and
such inadequately affixed to clothes lines become a hazzard in these
conditions.

Evening all,

Found a very interesting article tonight which may answer some of the
questions that have been in circulation over the quieter months of the
year regarding the only vaguely electrical cold cb (flash, bang & it's
gone!!) ...well worth the read - it's an American Scientist article from
November - December 1998

<DIV>Was able to do a small chase today. I was attracted to the cell Andrew 
describes below, but a dark rainfree base overhead convinced me to stay at Lake 
Illawarra. The small cell quickly got its act together around 3.30pm, very heavy 
rain and small hail. Glaciation occurred at very low levels with subsequent 
storm tops only around 30,000ft, noticed that middle level winds must have been 
much stronger than those at higher levels as storm anvils lingered way behind 
the short updrafts which moved SE at high speeds. Some impressive hail shafts as 
the cell moved offshore between Shellharbour and Kiama.</DIV>

Hi Everyone,

Well i'm still in a hype from today - what an AWESOME day - i saw some of
the most spectcular Cb's since Jan 22 this year.  I have uploaded picture
series pages for 3 different storms so far, and more will follow over the
next few days - i'm just too buggered to do any more tonight

This one is interesting - we're trying to figure out what it is in IRC now -
some people think it's an "outflow boundary or convergence zone, with a
tower popping up on it" and others think possible wall cloud - some input on
this would be much appreciated

http://bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/series/2000/23-08/3/index.html

Sorry about the quality of the full size pics - my camera has hard time in
low light situations (they were taken after sunset) - i think it has trouble
finding something to focus on.  That cell was moving SE, possibly ESE.

These two storms are quite spectacular (especially the first one) - after
months and months of coastal showers i was just going spastic over these
storms exploding into action

http://bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/series/2000/23-08/1/index.html
http://bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/series/2000/23-08/2/index.html


A great lightning show off the coast tonight - as others have already
mentioned there were several cells lined up off the coast all quite
lightning active.  A recent events report will be done over the next few
days as people get films developed etc etc.

On the flip side of this interesting weather system across SE Australia has
anybody noticed the tongue of warm middle air that has been drawn well down
towards Antarctica. GASP at http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/medr/mslpTH8.html
today ( 22nd ) had thickness of >5400 almost to 60'S. I have not seen this
at all during this winter.

So what will that mean for our weather. Not sure myself, anybody hazard a
guess. More unusual high pressure ridges way too south ?

On thing I feel is that you patch work of roller coaster thickness levels
can only breed more interesting weather for us.

Hi All,

They are sold as hail nets.  They look like sun shades and can visually
improve the place when done correctly.  Quite a few car yards have purchased
them around Brisbane.  Betty Byrne had some installed at Byrne Ford at
Chermside.  It saved a few cars during the March 97 storm.  Pity the hail
net collapsed on top of the cars.  I noticed two nice new Fairmonts that
were scissored by collapsing beams.  The quantity of hail was to much for
the supporting structure and quite a few fell over, on top of new cars.
(The replacement hail nets had RHS supports.)  James has a storm report for
this event here;

http://www.ozemail.com.au/~jamestorm/bristorm/reports/mar31_97.html

Not that you can see it, but Byrne Ford is in the street behind the house
shown on the bottom picture.

The same car yard went under water in a flash flood in the early '90s (Feb
92, 93?).  About 50 cars went under that day.  (The car yard is built over
the top a small creek.) The Brisbane City Council said that the rain fall
was a 1 in 50 year event.  However, I noticed that the Chermside Shopping
Centre was forced to put in some serious underground drains (like 20 M wide
by 2M deep)when they redeveloped the place.
