Hi All,

Ok, it's early spring, clear sky, low humidity, land breeze, nightime, well
away from the coast - gets colder as night progresses right?

Not tonight.. The last gasp of the sea breeze died out around 9:00pm
thereafter was dead calm.  Around 11:00pm it was cooling off rapidly with
temp falling through the high teens, so I closed the windows.  Darn me if I
didn't go out 20 mins ago to find that a NW'ster had started up and the temp
has risen around 5C since 11:00pm.  Now at 12:45AM (!) the temp 23.5C (!!)
and rising, humidity 33% and falling.

Strange, bizarre, but true!

Windows now open again, as it is actually warmer outside than inside (22C).

John.

Hi all,

I was keeping an eye on the sky for the duration of Thursday - I had
arranged to meet up with James Chambers at Sunnybank at 2pm and see what
happens.  However when we met up, it was evident that if anything was
going to happen - it'd be a bit later on in the evening, so we both went
back home and did a few things while we waited.  Towards the afternoon
and evening a line of storms from Moree to Gundy became stronger - and
showers were forming ahead of this, and out to Warwick and
intensifying.  I decided to go and fill up the car and grab some takeway
for dinner at about 6:15 in case something happened.  A line of showers
went into the blue/yellow before I left and aroused my interest - when I
got back, I had a quick talk to James and we both had the same feeling
(itchy feet) - so I we decided we'd head down to Beaudesert.  I threw
the dinner into the fridge, and went down to pick up James and we headed
down the Mt Lindsay Hwy.  We saw occassional lightning, but the best
stuff was when we were just south of Beaudesert - some very nice CC
lightning bolts!!!  Nice and orange too.  Unfortunately, these did not
last for long, and we watched periodic sheet lightning (with occ CC),
for the following hour and a bit.  Perhaps what was interesting was that
we were getting occassional rumbers of thunder, 1.5-2mins after the
strike!!!  We'd never had it that distant before - but it's a lot
quieter out in the country then the city though.  

With what appeared to be a dying light show - we rang Jane and she said
a few cells were down on the border ranges still - and some showers
north of that.  We decided to quickly race to Boonah, as the lookout
there looked onto the border ranges.  Unfortunately, the lightning was
still infrequent, although  we had fun seeing who could stare at the
halogen light the longest, before having to look away because it's about
to turn itself back on :)

We decided to head back home - a fair bit of smoke SW of Logan though! 
All up 260km - for lightning hehe, but well worth of course - saw a lot
more then we would at home!!!

Hi John,

The winds here were 15-20kn for most of Thursday, gusts to 25-30kn, and
the odd gust stronger (33-35kn) - so I have no doubt that Cape Moreton
would have got gusts over 40kn.

Interesting about your increasing temp there!  Currently as of 1:30am
it's 17.8C (bit nippy), DP of 11C (drying out a bit), N'ly of about 5kn
and 1006hPa steady.

Hi all,
This post is a little bit late, but better late than never I guess.

Qantas Flight 551 from Brisbane to Sydney yesterday between 1840 and 1955
AEDST gave a brilliant view of a line of storms between Armidale and just
west of Grafton. If you can trust the altitude/speed/temp readouts on the
automated display in the passenger cabin, some of the tops of these cells
were over 30,000ft.  It was certainly amazing watching lightning from this
new viewpoint, at some stages there were large flashes that illuminated some
entire cloudtops every few seconds, sometimes triggering other flashes in
cells further down the line.  One flash even fired off a lightning bolt
which came out of the top of the cloud, before arcing up and around back
down into the anvil.

My boss was sitting next to me in the aisle seat and I'm not sure if he
appreciated the constant elbowing by me in amidst the chanting of "CC" and
"woah did you see that one?"...       :)

Mal.

Normally we would expect the outgoing longwave temperature radiation
to dominate the temperature evolution at night under clear sky low RH conditions.
Your observation that it did not leads me to believe that during
this particular night one (or more) of the several other processes 
affecting temperature took over.  These could be horizontal advection
of warmer air (what were the temps like NW of you),
subsidence (downslope flow?), or latent heat release upstream (with 
subsequent horizontal advection).  

Additional observations should allow you to eliminate or support
these three (and other) processes.   

Let us know what you find out,

Cheers,  Harald

I notice that Adealide - Australia's driest capital city with an average

Australia's wettest capitals city (sorry, Darwin doesn't rate) with 1220
mm.
Adelaide's total to this morning is 517 and Sydney's 534.
Sydney's rainfall for the first 8 months of 2000 was 525 mm - the lowest
since 1968. and the 2nd lowest in 60 years !

Not only did Brisbane's temps fluctuate overnight.
In Sydney some changes worth noting were
Bankstown 8 degrees at 1 am but 15 at 6 am
Badgery's Creek 6 degrees at 1 am and 11 at 2 am
and Richmond 10 degrees at 2 am and 15 at 2.13 am - a 5 degree jump in
temperature in a quarter of an hour is rare but at 2 am in the morning

Michael,
I must agree with you there. I was totally caught out after returning from a shopping expidition and observing the skyline. The thought was of the usual drizzle that you would get after storms disapate on reaching the Illawarra escarpment. The cloud base was very high and thin, nothing that you would ever think would generate lightning. Halfway through shaving when BOOOMMMM, rumble rumble!! Raced out onto the balcony, towel around waste, shaving cream on half the face and watched 4-5 solid CG's around Mt Kiera, before silence and nothing again until the line of storms mentioned in later emails by the Blue Mountains people. Had a good look at the area where the lightning originated and besides a bit of heavier rain...nothing. No structure, no indication. I can only think that with the W-NW wind carrying the moisture and cloud over the escarpment, but being quite cold, something stirred up with maybe wind pushing up the escarpment caused enough of a small localised disturbance t!
!
o generate a few CG's and that's it.

Regards
Andrew Godsman

PS Great lightning show later in the evening, up to 6 lightning active cells around at one stage.

Don,
Noticed this effect quite noticeably down at Wollongong.
At 2pm, the wind was NW and had quite a chill to it. Made it well and truly jumper territory. But, at 11pm, when walking into town for a night out, the wind was more SW and warm in gusts. Maybe something to do with the suggested uncharted warm front from earlier emails??

Dear David .
I have to strongly object to your response in regards to comments made by
Leslie Baxter. I find his comments such as all "Athletes, Aussies as well
take drugs and cheat" as weird and disturbing, and are hardly weather
related, i also find your comments about Janes response also as
unacceptable, your concern about the demise of the list should be towards
such comments  of people such as Leslie Baxter causing serious enthusiast
like myself giving the list away and looking elsewhere for better quality
discussion about weather. regards Clyve Herbert.

Lightning was visible from about 8pm to the W and NW of my location (near
Lismore) last night. The cells were weak and the discharges infrequent but
it did persist until about 10.30pm. A few CGs were observed from weakening
cells that made it to about Kyogle I guess, then dissipated.

I'm not sure how much the temperature fluctuated last night as I don't have
a logger, but the overnight minimum only got down to 19.7 - quite a
contrast to recent weeks of 10s.

Still no rain, and winds gusting from the West around 30-35 knots this morning.

regards, Michael

Hi folks,

Is anyone on this list going to attend the 
20th Severe Local Storms Conference in Orlando (Florida)
next week?  If so, please let me know offline. 

I believe this conference will teem with goodies
of severe interest to ASWA.  The conference is likely to 
provide an updated perspective of our current 
understanding of severe weather.

Harald

Hi all

Radio and TV reported a 'mini-tornado' yesterday in the northern suburbs.
Damage I saw was F0-F1 - fences down, tiles removes, sheds blown away etc.
I strongly suspect that this was just a stright line gust however.

Hi everyone

Great lightning show in sydney last night, havent seen so many CG's
since January 19 on the hunter chase!
As the main cloud band that had covered us all day moved out to sea
around sunset, a fair amount of acca's was trailing it, an hour or 2
later, storms were forming to the west of the ranges, with yellow/green
on radar, Jimmy had told me he could see the odd flash of lightning
amongst it, so i grabbed the camera and went to my lookout at ashfield
plaza carpark roof. (best westerly view you will around this area)
I watched for a while as the odd flash around to the WSW, and a weak
cell around Blacktown headed across the city, giving a couple of  nice
forking CC strikes which went above my head :)
After this passed there was still infrequent lightinng to the W
(the whole time there had been a cell 150km away or so off the coast to
the SE, which i could just see the top of being lite up every 2-3
seconds with lightning, it was red on radar)
After a short while the lightnign started getting frequent, 2 CG's at
once infront of the rain lite it up like a xmas tree, the rain was alot
closer than what i thought (well it was night time ;) but after these 2
bolts, the whole thing really took off, lightning started to get very
frequent, and after a short period was up to a strike every 2-3 seconds,
and it seemed 1 out of 3 strikes was a CG! perfect for taking photos :)
I should have a few good photos, Murphys law, a second before i pressed
the shutter to open, a CG hits a power box somewhere towards bankstown
giving a nice green glow underneath. I cursed but whilst on the phone to
james harris, he said "what about the video camera" and then it clicked
i had the video camera set up pointing at it ! i was pretty happy.
Took more photos before the storm passed over with more close lightning,
and i decided to follow it to the coast whilst on the phone to Jane.
Lots of water on roads towards the airport, and by the time i got to the
ocean the cell was already about 70km away, these things were flying ! I
stayed at the beach for 30 minutes just watching the cells out to sea,
then came home
This email is alot longer than what i expected it to be, sorry !

It was a great storm, not a thundery shower, not a flash banger, but a
good 100% proper storm :)
Ok im going.

Matt Smith

Hi Jimmy.
There may be a clue in the angle of the light "comet" shape .It may be
possible that the roadway may have reflected the flash upwards towards the
camera lens and over exposed, the road may have had fragments of glass or
the surface may have quartz composition. I strongly suspect some sought of
reflection or refraction through the camera lens.

Hi John,

Apparently the wind speeds at Cape Moreton can be exagerated somewhat
because the AWS is positioned very close to a cliff face, and to quote a BOM
forecaster "it picks up gusts of wind coming up of the cliff face".  Mind
you i was told that when enquiring about 40 knot SE winds the AWS was
picking up - and considering last nights winds were WNW, it might be a
different story *shrugs*

Clyve,

According to your header (as below) the email you sent on Tuesday turned up
just now - Friday 0946AEDST!!!!!!!  Anthony also said that he had been
having problems......hopefully they've been fixed by now.

How much rain have you had down Geelong way?  There've been some pretty
respectable totals so far in the past 24 hours:
Avalon 14mm
Bendigo 28mm
Falls Creek 38mm
Geelong 17mm
Hamilton 21mm
Horsham 27mm
Lookout Hill 40mm
Wilsons Prom 14mm
Wonthaggi 20mm

Pressure is still 993hPa & there should be more heavy showers with the
trough.  Now a little bit of sunshine on the weekend wouldn't go astray!!!!!

Hi Harald,

From the local area OBS (thanx to new Web site), it seems to be a
combination of subsidence from the high country to the west leading to
horizontal advection in my vicinity.  At 12:00am Toowoomba was nudging 20C
at 675 odd meters elevation.  My temp peaked at 24C at 1:00am.  Curiously
this phenomenon was nowhere near as well marked at other Brisbane regions,
although Amberley seemed to record a marked increase.

The temp rise corresponded to the onset of the NWster, and the air was
clearly mixing at first, as you could feel warm and cooler pockets - the
warm pockets very noticeable, I kept looking around for the fire (slightly
smoky smell didn't help - but that has become a fixture in the air here for
the last 2 weeks).

The fact that a similar event was observed 1000K's south of here at a
similar time of night is very interesting indeed.  One could suggest that
cloud around yesterday, which started off in the morning as cirrus patches,
lowering to alto stratus around late afternoon, with a few low level cumulus
puffs with the onset of the NWster, is reminiscent of a dry warm front
transition.  More likely we just have a warm airmass from inland make it's
way to the coast, and the effect related to displacing cooled seabreeze air
rather than a front as such..??

Now have a warm dry and rapidly increasing Westerley - yes folks, welcome to
another day of Westerley hell and bushfire madness.

John.

Normally we would expect the outgoing longwave temperature radiation
to dominate the temperature evolution at night under clear sky low RH
conditions.
Your observation that it did not leads me to believe that during
this particular night one (or more) of the several other processes
affecting temperature took over.  These could be horizontal advection
of warmer air (what were the temps like NW of you),
subsidence (downslope flow?), or latent heat release upstream (with
subsequent horizontal advection).

Additional observations should allow you to eliminate or support
these three (and other) processes.

Let us know what you find out,

Cheers,  Harald

Hi Clyve,

I too have been plagued by perpetual problems of emails arriving hours,
and even days later then I send them!  I've never had this happen to me
before, but from what I've heard, a lot of people are having the same
problem!  In fact, quite a few disappear into the dark deep word.std.com
abyss never to be seen again! :(

Not too much here, but:

http://www.stvincent.ac.uk/Resources/Weather/News/summer97.html
- this just mentions that it happened.

http://www.bom.gov.au/inside/services_policy/public/sigwxsum/sigw0797.shtml#snow
- once again, just mentions that it happened

There doesn't appear to be much out there as you suspected.

One place you could try is http://live.looksmart.com

This place allows you to ask a question and have it looked at by other 
looksmart people who are given an incentive to find you an answer. It's 
free, and if no one helps, then one of the looksmart employees will look for 
you.

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions for a reasonably cheap anemometer? I don't
require a device that logs the wind, just something that shows the current
speed and direction and can be fixed to the roof.

Today we are again buffeted by winds gusting to about 45 knots (noon 8th
Sep NE NSW) but it would be nice to know for sure.

regards, Michael

   After yesterdays late afternoon activity things quitened down for a 
couple of hours. Then about 9pm another disorganized storm came over Nowra. 
When I first noticed it, it was abou 25k towards the west,soI opened my 
curtauns to keep an eye on it. Minutes later, flash bang, very close 
something(didn't see if it was CG or CC).Several discharges followed for 
about 20-30 mins. then the moon and stars cameout.Weird.

       Yesterdays storm is still a puzzling event as Michael from Wollongong 
pointed out.( Hey Michael, what suburb are you from? I'm originally from 
Balgownie). It was the same down here (Nowra) as what Michael described 
around the 'gong, very high base, thin appearence and numerous breaks in the 
clouds.But what a show! I've got to find someone locally who can put my 
video onto the list. If anybody knows of someone in the 
Ulladulla/Nowra/Wollongong area that can do this, please let me know as the 
footage I described in last message (07Sep) is really interesting.
       The Cu around at the moment is building and collapsing quicker than 
I've seen for a while but there's not much height to it.Let's hope for 
something soon.
                        TGIF & HABGWE

If you can build one here's the go. I'm not good with electronics so it's a
no-go for me. Hope this helps.

Hi all, (this email sent at 3:05pm EST Friday should it not arrive at
its desired time).

Just came off the phone to my parents - there's a large bushfire near
them - just WSW of Grandchester, near Laidley.  They've lost houses
(apparently), and they have firemen, police and the army there battling
the fire as it approaches the small township of Grandchester.  Over 30
houses have been evacuted.

There's lots of bushfires still - another major fire at Morayfield where
people have also been evacuated, including schools etc.

On a quick analysis, it appears to be a classic case of cool air under
an inversion being blown out by the mixing down of warmer
northwesterlies. Most stations in the Sydney basin away from the coast
warmed by 5 to 10 degrees some time between 1 and 3am, with the main
warming occurring in half an hour or less where such readings are
available. Camden had the largest rise:

>68 METAR 0908 0000 35005KT     05.7/05.6     Q996.3  RF00.0/001.6
>68 METAR 0908 0100 05006KT     06.6/06.6     Q996.3  RF00.0/001.6
>68 METAR 0908 0153 34010KT     12.5/12.1     Q996.4  RF00.0/001.6
>68 METAR 0908 0300 30010KT     16.0/06.2     Q995.3  RF00.0/001.6

with a temp rise from 6.6 at 1am to 16 at 3am. The dewpoint spike
(12.1 degrees) at 1.53 is interesting. There doesn't appear to be a
geographic pattern in the time of the temp rise, so I suspect
broadscale upper winds simply increased at that time, mixing down more
or less uniformly over the whole basin depending on the depth of the
inversion. 

The surface wind after the temp rise was mostly NW or NNW and only 10
to 15kt compared with variable and ~3 to 6 beforehand. At Mount Boyce,
at 1080m on the Blue Mountains west of the basin, the temp only varied
between 8.6 and 5.5 between midnight and 6am, with a normal
distribution and a hefty 20kt gusting 30/35 wind at all observations!

Hi Andrew

There was even some small hail in Wollongong around 5.30pm. I watched the
line of later storms from about 8pm when they were back near Goulburn. The
lightning slackened as the storms approached the escarpment, only to
strengthen again once the line was offshore, so basically the storms were
weakest crossing the coastal plain. Not surprising considering the west
wind, I was half surprised that they even made it to the coast.

BOOOMMMM, rumble rumble!! Raced out onto the balcony, towel around waste,
shaving cream on half the face and watched 4-5 solid CG's around Mt Kiera,
before silence and nothing again until the line of storms mentioned in later
emails by the Blue Mountains people. Had a good look at the area where the
lightning originated and besides a bit of heavier rain...nothing. No
structure, no indication. I can only think that with the W-NW wind carrying
the moisture and cloud over the escarpment, but being quite cold, something
stirred up with maybe wind pushing up the escarpment caused enough of a
small localised disturbance t!

Good to see you got some pics in. Your right about the speed of that line.
When I first spotted these on the radar out west of Goulburn I proposed to
drive up the infamous Macquarie Pass to get some pics west of Robertson. My
fear was the line would weaken within sight of the escarpment, so I wanted
to get west of the escarpment. However after waiting for a radar update and
looping it I estimated these storms were doing in excess of 80 kph. Instead
I drove just around the corner near Lake Illawarra. The storms only took
little over an hour to move from east of Goulburn to overhead.

Hi Shawn

I am from Mt Warrigal. Andrew Godsman is another W'gong member from North
Gong. As far as video goes we don't put it on the list as such. You should
try to make a AWSA meeting and show it there. Although I realise that Nowra
to North Sydney is a hike. Thinking of that if we get 2-3 more Illawarra -
Shoalhaven folks we could hold our own meets.

Funny you should mention about that Cu, I have seen this type of stuff last
a full day before with west winds, but not for a few years. Constant broken
Cu from the west today, dissipating about 10kms offshore into complete
clear. Even now at 9pm it is still streaming through.
