I'll be surprised it the higher parts of the Central Tablelands,
including the upper Blue Mountains, don't get snow tonight. Currently
(11.50pm) at my place in Blackheath it's 2.4 and raining, with 1.8mm
in the gauge since 6pm; Mount Boyce, only 2km away but 60m higher, was
1.4 at 11pm with 0.6mm in the same time. Orange Airport has been
around 2.8 since 7pm, with 6mm in that time. Working on the basis that
the rain will turn to snow around 2.0 degrees, and looking at all
those lumpy bits moving east towards us on the satpic, I reckon
something's gotta happen.

I've put up an article on today's weather across 5 states, with an
interesting satpic animation that graphically shows why the Bass
Strait islands caught near record rain today. Follow the link from the
home page.

Hi all

I've finally calmed down after today's great storms.  Is it really August?
:-)

I was given digi pics by a guy called Lem from the Gold Coast - he takes a
mean photo!  There's also some video captures of mine.

It's on my April - September 2000 Thunderdays page:

I have been through what was called a "Firestorm" near Briagolong in East
Gippsland (Vic) in about 1965.
The fire generated tremendous updraught which in turn generated gale force
winds spiralling inwards.  In turn, tornado-shaped funnels of fire formed
which raced across the countryside destroying all in their path.  One of
these "towering infernos" passed about 300 or 400 metres away from where a
group of us were sitting in a burnt-out area waiting for the fire to cool
enough so we could escape.
It made a noise like an express train and every gum tree within 100 metres
of it's path exploded like a bomb.
An ATV  channel 0 film crew appeared to be getting some excellent shots but
had to drop the camera and run for their lives and the camera and videotape
were destroyed in the fire.
It was a rather frightening experience and I hope I never get near one
again.
The same fire was generating enormous mountains of cloud some of which later
fell as light showers of rain.  There were many C-C lightning flashes in the
clouds but I saw no C-Gs.

With the backdrop of the surrounding cloud formations, especially above the
feature, I believe this is probably similar to a shelf cloud.  It would
appear that there is a discontinuity os some sort beneath the cloud and
that forced lifting is taking place from below and possibly from above. 
The congestus above indicates that this cloud at that level is convective
and positively buoyant.

Howdy Les,

I taped a waterspout whilst on a ferry from the Isle of Man to Liverpool.  
This was on saturday a couple of days before the tornado in Yorkshire.  I 
laughed when the reporter mentioned snow.  :-)

Hi all,

Ok - was meaning to send this out yesterday but didn't get a chance to!

What a great day it was!  (Except for the fact that I was at work for
most of it).  I went to work early so I could try and leave work early
if I had to.  We had not one, but two hailstorms at work!  Once at
1:50pm (only very small and brief), and again at 2:20pm.  We had strong
winds (30kn) with heavy rain initially, and then the winds died off (we
have a tin roof at the office), and then I suddenly heard sone "tings"
and yelled "THAT'S HAIL!!!" as I flew out the door for the millionth
time (much to my boss' displeasure) with the video camera.  In the
background, my boss was telling me how hopeless I was for saying she
didn't have to move her car!  She didn't understand that pea sized hail
wouldn't do anything!  

Anyway, 5mins later, I wrapped it up (finally) and left - the storms
were moving to the SE to fast, so I headed to Rochedale Rd as there was
a nice little lookout there to the east, and it'd put me in a better
position if anything else developed.  There was a lot of water on the
road near work, and some on Logan Rd - flash flooding on Rochedale Rd! 
Branches and stuff down on Logan Rd (northbound), and also a tree down
on Mt Cotton Rd.

I had to eventually turn back and head for uni - I took the SE Fwy into
the city to goto uni.  On the way I was watching some AWESOME updrafts
on the Cb's out to sea, and decided that a stop in the emergency storm
chasing lane (known to others as the emergency stopping lane) on the
freeway and videoed and took some photos - awesome site!!!

After uni, I battled with peak hour to try and get home
quickly...stopping after watching a beautiful sunset unfold to the west
and took a few photos with the Brisbane CBD as the backdrop.  The Cb's
out to sea were still visible and lightning active.  I had to get home
and do a few household chores - I wanted to do these ASAP in case a
lightning show formed.  And it did!!!  At 6:30pm I flew out the door
again an raced eastwards to Cleveland Pt (not Redcliffe...) and tried to
get there before the PITA "Koala zone speed limits' kicked in the
bayside suburbs.  I got there at 6:50pm, and watched an orgasmical
lightning show for 1-1.5hrs!  I think I got about 40-50mins of
continuous lightning footage.  I grabbed my fold-up arm chair and sat
down and relaxed next to the water while watching 12-15 different active
cells out to sea - HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too much excitement for this storm chaser!!!  Lets slow it down just a
bit...at least until the uni holidays so I have the time <g>

I had a call from Rals (ASWA QLD) on my answering machine reporting
1.5-2cm hail.  Ross also phoned me twice with joyous exclamations as he
was sitting down on the Gold Coast watching the lightning show too.

Wow - this day was FANTASTIC!!!  Just everything looked so beautiful! 
I'll try and do some video captures tomorrow if I get a chance in
between studying for exams - and getting ready for going down to Sydney
on Sat.

Blackheath Thursday 11am

Hi all,

I observed sleet last night at around 10:30 pm here at my place when it
was 2 degrees.
A few sloppy snow flakes fell but that was all.

Yesterday, as Laurier mentioned earlier, saw a few hail showers at
12:10pm, 2:15pm and a heavier one at 7:15pm which took the temp closer
to 2.5. The hail was small, below pea size.

Today we've had a few very light showers of rain.


Hope this system gives us something more later today/tomorrow.

Lindsay Pearce

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

you are, here is an excellent site for guessing which way a hurricane
might move, based on visual observation of steering currents:

Looking at the Antarctic temps, Casey (which is roughly due south of
Perth) has seen unusual (but not record-breaking) warmth in the last
few days - the last four days have had maxima between 0 and -2, 8-10
degrees above normal but short of the August record of 3.0. 

Mawson and Davis, which are somewhat further west, have seen nothing out
of the ordinary. 

Macquarie Island, on the fringe of the blocking high, has been colder
than normal (the maximum on Sunday was -1, something only experienced
about once a year on average) but quite dry, with only 6mm precip in
the last week and three completely dry days (quite something given
that there are 26.9 days with precipitation in a normal August). It
looks like the block isn't going anywhere in a hurry so it may stay
quite dry (although the first half of the month was wet so no
monthly records are in danger). We don't get sunshine data in real 
time, but I'd be interested to know if they're getting any (not a
common occurrence in a place that gets only about 20% of the possible
sunshien!).

Afternoon all,

For those of you who like solving puzzles...have a look at the situation
over Victoria & NSW at the moment.  5 circulations are identifiable so far -
I'm wondering if anyone can find any more. ...
1. A very small localised low pressure area spotted just south of Wilson's
Promontory earlier this morning is moving on a WWWNW path &currently in the
Port Phillip Bay area (yes, that isn't a mistake....it is coming out of the
east).
2. A small circulation in the SE of South Australia moving NNE.
3. A low pressure system off Moruya in the Tasman Sea moving to the SW,  and
4. A circulation in central west NSW

All of these are working within a generalised area of low pressure over the
whole of SE Australia which itself is circulating!!!!!!

Congesting cumulus (Cj's) from the WSW, Ac moving from the E, & the whole
lot is starting to look a bit like a giant soup pot!

Looking good for the rest of the afternoon!!! - some 10-20's & 20-40's have
been spotted to the N & NW of Melbourne.

If you want to get out the pencil and do some manual chart analysis,
I've begun putting a plots-only version of the latest detailed
synoptic chart. Follow the "Synoptic Charts for Major Events" link off
the homepage at http://ausweather.simplenet.com. Just print it out and
have fun. 

The intermediate hour (6am, noon, 6pm, midnight) charts don't have as
many ship reports as the main hour (3am, 9am, 3pm, 9pm) ones, and
there's a paucity of drifting buoys in our region at present, so some
imagination (and satpic analysis) is needed over ocean areas.

Oberon's 3pm observation reported that moderate snow had started
falling in the past 10 minutes. 3pm temp was 1.1 after a max of 5. 

Some interesting temperature fluctuations about in showers -- Orange
airport dropped from 5.3 at noon to 2.9 at 2pm with a 3mm shower, then
rose to 4.6 by 4pm. Bathurst 6.8 at 2pm to 4.2 at 3pm with 1.5mm, then
back up to 5.6 at 4pm. Mt Boyce has dropped from 4.9 to 3.2 in the
past hour (to 4) for no apparent reason. 

The models I've seen drop 850hPa temperatures and thickness just a tad
tonight, as the surface development off the Gippsland coast and the
eastward movement of the upper low provide a mechanism to move some of
the colder air from down south northwards. Last night was oh so
borderline -- maybe tonight it'll be cold enough to tip the scales. 

Laurier

A few shots of today's weather in Melbourne - under a very confused flow
with some very moist air - 5 low pressure circulations of various
intensities and dropping pressure - dropped from 1001 to 999hPa mid
morning and hasn't shifted since - the cloud field throughout Victoria &
NSW looked like someone had been throwing white paint!!  Low level cloud
coming from the NW & middle level flow from the SE......

Hi Everyone,

I have updated the Recent Events section with a report on yesterdays
storms - most of the information up the top is old news to the people on the
list, but since last night i have added picture series pages for 5 more
storms - all of which were either very nice, or just plain spectacular

http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/products/reports/2000/august/23/index.htm

The picture series pages will be updated in the next few days with radar
stills showing what each storm looked like on radar at the time the pictures
were taken

These are all digi cam pictures too - i'll also be adding SLR pics as they
come in over the next few days

Hi weather people.

This may be of interest to those of you who are at (or approaching)
university - even if you're not at the right stage this year, seeing
the selection criteria will give you an idea of what is required.
The age profile of the Bureau is such that it's likely that there 
will be relatively large intakes for some years to come (to replace
those who will be retiring in droves over the coming years....).

I have no involvement personally in the course (and am one of those
rare creatures in the Bureau who entered from outside without doing
the course), so I'm not a very good person to ask for advice, but I
do know that it counts for a lot if you can demonstrate an interest
in meteorology, and having been involved in this list is a good way
to demonstrate that...

Successful hail chase today with a dumping of small ( small pea size ) near
Hill Top, just off the Hume Hwy near Mittagong. The pictures and report can
be found at

http://thunder.simplenet.com/chase/chase19.htm

This hail caused traffic chaos on the Hume Hwy.

I will be updating the chase report with data later.

Also updated is the Illawarra significant weather diary with some lame
photos of the snow at Robertson on the 27th July 2000. This can be found at

I think there has been heavy snow falling in the upper Hunter Valley.
Nullo Mountain AWS is about 20km east of Rylstone and 70km SW of
Muswellbrook, right on the boundary of the Hunter and Central
Tablelands districts, and about 1100m asl. The hourly reports from
there since 4pm are:

>62 METAR 0824 1600 33007G12KT  03.4/03.1     //////  RF00.2/006.6
>62 METAR 0824 1700 32010G15KT  00.6/00.6     //////  RF00.0/010.8

>62 METAR 0824 2100 30009G15KT  01.4/01.4     //////  RF00.2/018.0

Assuming the precip since the sudden temperature drop has been snow,
that's around 10mm = 10 to 13cm of snow. 

2.2 and overcast at Blackheath, Blue Mtns at 9pm.

PS. I would love to apply but I'm too old and unexperienced to qualify
  No maths/physics experience. I'm just an unfortunate weather watcher like
Leslie Baxter there in Ballerat  ...  HehHeh  !!!
