Hi all

Great to finally have some rain here in Logan (just south of Brisbane)
tonight.  I've probably had 3mm or so in the last 15mins - nothing great but
when you consider I last had rain on Aug 23 (which was 1.2mm) its pretty
considerable.  I've seen a few distant flashes of lightning at times
tonight, mostly from a storm that developed between about Beaudesert and the
Gold Coast a couple of hours ago.

Currently at 11.31pm we have moderate - heavy rain and SSE winds.  More rain
to come tonight though much lighter most likely.  There'd probably be some
okay totals NW of Brisbane where the band of precip has been moving a little
slower and is showing green/pink on radar.

Anyone else in Brisbane/SE Qld with some action?

Regards

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO James,  RAIN!!!!!

2.5mm to midnight!!  That's the best fall here in 64 days, and marks the end
of 42 consecutive completely dry days.

Rain passed quickly here, just enough to settle the dust really.  Lovely
fresh eucalypt smell though.  Couple of CC's close by, seemed to be to the
North, and coincided with a nice pink blob on radar which passed over the
Mt. Glorious area, which is not too far North of here.

Hi all!

A couple of nice little storms formed on the border ranges - behind the
Gold Coast Hinterland, Steve Baynham got some CG's on film I think?  I
decided to head south a little to see if I could see any lightning, I
saw one nice blue strike just before turning back to head to Beaudesert
where another line was forming, I went through Beaudesert (very strong
rain smell and spitting)...and then shot back north, as a nice line had
formed to my NW, heading E.  I did manage to see the odd flash of
lightning from that band of showers/storms that move through Brisbane,
but it was not very frequent.

However, it got quite exciting just south of Mt Lindsay Hwy & Compton Rd
Intersection, with torrential rain (80-100mm/hr rain rate), coming down
- a few drivers pulled over...the right hand land (south bound, after
turning back around) was undrivable due to far too much water flowing
across and lying on it!  Car didn't like going through that (I didn't
see it when I went to overtake another car, but had to quickly go back
into the left hand lane and remain behind a slow car for a bit).

All up - not a bad little evening, quite enjoyed my 180km potter around
south Brisbane, and the outer suburbs/towns!  More showers and rain on
radar, especially over the Lockyer Valley which is great to see as they
really need it!

Morning all (4.7C) ,

Are we looking at an example of a baroclinic leaf in the Carnarvon area
of WA???  There's a trough developing at the surface, warm advection
through the area at 850hPa and a strengthening NW jet in the area.

http://www.meto.govt.uk/satpics/australasia_IR.html

Thoughts anyone?

Does anyone have any links to information about baroclinic leafs - I've
found one source of info on the net but it's merely a sentence or two.

Another cool start this morning, currently 2 here at 6.30am. Very windy
yesterday as it probably was in a lot of other places. Sat around the 20 to
25 kmh mark for most of yesterday from the SW. Six spots of rain about
4.30pm yesterday. I knew there was six because they were on the windscreen.
Hey Clive, it better start raining soon, otherwise "the frogs" will look
foolish! :-)

Good morning,

A persistent MCS over SC QLD has been very generous with
its CGs all night long.  It has supportive mid-level flow
of 30 knots or more at 500 hPa (extrapolated from 12 UTC soundings
by AVN model).  The surface air is probably (not enough surface obs) 
convectively worked over by now.

If the MCS cares about climatology, it should weaken over the
next few hours.  Maybe new convection will initiate in the 
afternoon along leftover outflow boundaries given the supportive upper-level
winds and OKish dewpoints closer to the coast.
I didn't like the healthy inversion around 400 hPa in the 
11UTC Charleville sounding - that kind of thing could
mess up a potential show.

Happy Thunder,
Down Under

Harald

Looking at the latest batch of progs. things could indeed get quite
interesting in the SE of Aus
from Thursday. All models are going for a strong front through Victoria
(temperature contrast across front at 850hPa of ~14C), and quite widespread
rainfall. Depending on the eventual scenario, this system could generate any
combination of heavy rain, heavy alpine snowfalls, high winds, and
thunderstorms...

It's great to finally have a "normal spring" in Victoria and the SE more
generally...

Cheers,

David.

Hi,

I'm new to the list and don't understand the language yet.  I live in north
Brisbane and it was great to get good soaking rain last night.  It is much
cooler this morning, still with cloud cover but no rain.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! so that's what they are called. 
I didn't know whether it was 'leaf' or 'leap'
Augie Auer a weather presenter on TV3 here in New Zealand uses the term
'baroclinic leaf' quite often in his forecasts but with his American accent
I couldn't understand whether he was saying 'leap' or 'leaf' !!! Augie,
also uses the term  "The rain-maker" in each case. Anyway regarding
Baroclinic leafs/leaps, I understand it is a form of baroclinicity that
forms on a leading edge of a low.  -  which I personally reckon is a silly
word but I am not going to rewrite meteorological terms and names -  

Anyway one such "Leap' is developing in the Tasman sea at the moment with a
possible 'bomb' development. This should 'leap' across the South Island
today with thunderstorms gales and torrential rain in many areas. Keep you
posted

Hi Jane and all.
Appears to be a type of baroclinic leaf, although I would classify it as a
baroclinic splotch at this stage!.This area of mid and upper level cloud is
in the early stages of development, as the mid and upper flow patterns are
strengthening ahead of the approaching cold front,there is some indication
this may be the early stages of cyclogenisis somewhere over the Australian
Bight region over the next 24 to 36 hours, it will be interesting to see the
interaction of the marked warm advection from 900 to 500hpa ahead of the
approaching cold air field, it seems the primary high south west of Perth is
on the move and this will help push this cold air towards south eastern
Australia by Friday. On another note the persistent cloud band that has been
affecting Australia over the past week is now organising itself around what
seems to be a major low pressure system developing over New Zealand.

It was a very cold night for October in much of Victoria. Notable
observations so far include -3 at Horsham Airport and a wide
scattering of -2s (e.g. Ballarat, Bendigo, Ararat, Nhill and Omeo).

I haven't done a full check of records yet. Laverton's 0.0 is an
October record (and is particularly interesting because Laverton
is a reasonable surrogate for Melbourne minus an urban heat island, 
being a similar distance inland). Melbourne Airport (2.0) missed
its October record by 0.3. Enough cloud lingered in the eastern
suburbs to keep normally cold spots, such as Coldstream (2) a little
warmer than might otherwise have been expected (most of this area,
including central Melbourne, was colder on Monday than it was 
today).

The SA observations aren't in yet with the 90-minute time difference.
I don't think the SA October record (-4.4) is under any threat, but
wouldn't be surprised if there are a few sub-zero obs.

Also some low values (and some very dry air - dewpoints around -20)
at the Victorian alpine sites, although I thought Mt. Hotham Airport
might have done better than -4.5.

One presumes this is something the farmers could have done without,
although frost is common enough in the first half of October that one
would hope that not too many frost-sensitive activities are happening
at the moment. (The very damaging frost of 1998, which had similar
temperatures to today in the agricultural areas, was in the last week of October).

Crosby and we received another 3.5mm from midnight, making it 6mm all up so
far, and we might get a bit more yet.

John.

Hi,

I'm new to the list and don't understand the language yet.  I live in north
Brisbane and it was great to get good soaking rain last night.  It is much
cooler this morning, still with cloud cover but no rain.

Marguerite

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the list Marguerite

I scored 8mm here to 9am this morning - most of which fell before 1am from a
dissipating line of heavy showers/storms which appeared quite impressive on
radar as it approached.

At 11:30am the sky here (Recliffe - just north of Brisbane) looks quite
threatening

http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/realtime/image.jpg

but no further rain yet

There were some decent totals to 9am this morning, with the highest being
25mm at Hinze Dam.  The majority of totals were under 10mm, but hopefully
it's enough to bring my lawn back to life! :)

Hi Bussie.
I actually got a ground frost here this morning, with an air temp min of
2.0c, I put my el cheapo kitchen thermometer on the ground and had a reading
of 0.2c not bad for this time of the year. In respect to rain things look ok
for this coming Friday up in your area especially over the higher mountains
could be some heavy falls. regards Clyve .H.

Subject: Merging of Storm Track & Storm Chaser Homepage -- new site

Storm Track, SCH merger produces chase megasite

October 5 - Today marks the first official day of the new Storm
Track Storm Chaser Homepage.  This new site located at
http://www.stormtrack.org/ is an official merger of the old Storm
Track (ST) and NIU Storm Chaser Homepage (SCH).  The former
ST site began redirecting visitors today.  SCH will do likewise but
will offer a frozen version of the old SCH pages.
     The vast size of both web sites posed a massive maintenance
problem.  Said ST editor Tim Marshall, "Tim Vasquez and Gilbert
Sebenste said they do not have the time to constantly maintain
their respective web pages.  So I wanted to see if we should
combine our efforts or shut everything down. Tim and Gilbert
informed me that a merger of ST and SCH is what they want,
and I agree too".
      To relieve the one-man-band syndrome, the new site was
founded on the principle of allowing independent volunteer work
throughout the site.  About half a dozen expert volunteers make
up the new ST/SCH site, and have their own FTP access to
various areas.  This allows them to work independently and
with minimal editorial oversight.  Marshall, Vasquez, and
Sebenste have site-wide privileges and will edit various sections
as their time allows.
      Sebenste reassured us that there will be no changes to NIU's
Storm Machine. "It will be staying at NIU because of the
NOAAPORT feed it gets. That requires 3 T1 lines and a
Unix box," he said.
     SCH features such as the Partners database and ST features
such as the Who's Who listing continue at the new site.  The
new site is also on an OC3 hub, which delivers one of the fastest
Web connections available.  The former ST and SCH sites were
on T1 and T3 links.
     The new site offers a vast educational library, expanded links
section, a fresh list of real-time data links, and a dozen new
"Funnel Funnies".  Major changes and improvements will be
in store over the coming months as work progresses.

Hello all,

Woke to heavy rain this morning at Elimbah, near Caboolture. Went out to
walk in it! Consistent rain from 6.30 until 7.15 am. Very nice. Mostly
steady, but a few heavy patches. Some wind gusts just before it came to an
end.

Funny we are so excited about it now - last year hardly a week went by
without a day of rain. 

The grass is returning to green already, and we are smiling.

Sel.

(Now up at Brisbane Storm Chasers site:
http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/chasers/sel.html)

Cheers all.

hooray!!!!
a great show last night at about 9:30 onwards. luckily i finished work at 9
and noticed the occassional flash to the west. checked the radar when i got
home. and there was a pink blob headed straight towards me. i almost
fainted!:) at that time it started to rain so i couldn't take any photos
from the roof. but i thought i'd have a go from the balcony. i didn't
expect much of a lightning display due to so much low level cloud. i think
i took about 10 shots. i saw one definite bolt in the field of view as the
camera was going. there maybe more on there aswell. lightning was about
once or twice every minute.  my legs became sore pretty quickly from
running up and down the stairs checking radar every 10 minutes.
neither energex or the weather company recorded strikes in this area at
all. i was quite surprised by that. i can't say how much rain i got cos
some flogged my gauge, kids!!! and unfortunately, i only just loaded a film
in, so will probably wait a little while til i have those photos, sorry
another thing to note. someone at work said they heard on the radio that
the storm forecast was cancelled due to it been blown out. that was at
5:30. i said bullshit its still coming, be here in a few hours!!

Hi all

I don't know if this website has been mentioned before, but I found this
one out through my supervisor. This one has global reanalysis data
stretching back to 1948, and you can plot charts showing pressure at
various levels, relative and specific humidity, air temp, winds, lifted
index, precipitable water....etc. Check it out at:

http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/

1. On the right hand side in the "Products" section, click on NCEP/NCAR
Reanalysis.

2. Then select "Here's what's currently available on-line", which is
located around half-way down the page.

Note that there is a fair bit here, so this is just an example of what it
can do.

3. Select "Surface Data". This takes you further down the page, so then
select "Sea level pressure".

4. Select the "Make Plot of Subset" graphic for plotting on the left hand
side of the screen. Don't be thrown off by the picture of the US as this
is global data.

5. Enter your required lat/long limits. Try selecting:
   60.00S   00.00S
   100.00E  180.00E

   Select time period eg
   Begin:  1998, Sep, 14
   End:    1998, Sep, 14
 
   Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Create Plot or
Subset of Data".

6. Voila, we have our plot of surface pressure in units of Pascals. The
reason I chose this case is that if you compare this with 
http://www.maths.monash.edu.au/~robert/Thesis/southerlymg.html
You can see the trough (or actually the high pressure ridge, but this is
still under speculation) which creates the southerly morning glory :-)

Admittedly, the plots are small, but they may be of some use to people.

Have fun, as I know I will :)


Cheers

Hi Blair.
My minimum here in Leopold this morning was 2.0c with a ground frost,this is
so far the coldest morning this year for my location and follows a min of
2.8c a few days ago, the area between Laverton and Avalon under favourable
conditions seems to be a cold spot, especially with a light westerly flow
after a cold front and a fast moving high pressure cell to settle things
down over night,it will be interesting to see how things pan out this
weekend for low temps although it may be a bit on the windy side.regards

Evening all,

Keep an eye on the NW area of the Bight for a low to develop SE of
Esperance - vorticity is just starting to become apparent at 1830AEDST.
Warm advection at 850hPa is being maintained with a fairly steep E-W
temperature gradient in the area & a deep long wave trough is bringing
up cold air from way south in the Southern Ocean.  Yep - starting to
look like an interesting couple of days as noted by everyone who's
interested in this system!!

Pleased to "meet" you Marguerite. Don't worry, I've been here a little while
and still don't understand a bit of it, but I'm learning, although slowly.
Type slowly, as I read slow.....
The stuff I've been seeing/reading is Brisbane is pretty dry at present,
good to see you finally got a "drink".

Well the 'baroclinic leap' has just passed over Canterbury. Just clouding
up and boring weather with it coming onto rain with no interesting weather
despite the barometer getting down to 982 hPa. No thunder unfortunately.
barometer rising too.
I hope the next system came deliver something more exciting.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While on my regular surfing 
trips across the waves of the internet,&nbsp;I came across a quite surprising 
and fascinating page concerning the stratospheric phenomena of Nacreous Clouds 
or otherwise known as Mother Of Pearl Clouds as part of one of the British 
Antarctic Survey's Ozone Depletion pages. For those who do not 
know,&nbsp;Nacreous clouds form in the stratosphere, at heights of between 10 
and 30 km, when the temperature there falls below -80&nbsp;degrees Celcius and 
are probably composed of ice particles with a liquid coating of nitric acid 
tri-hydrate. They appear bright because they are high enough to be illuminated 
by the sun long after local sunset and the pastel colours arise through 
diffraction or interference effects in much the same way that colours appear in 
a film of oil on a puddle of water. There is current research on the debate 
whether low ozone levels associated with ozone depletion are linked to the 
formation of this stratospheric phenomena. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The following link directs you 
to some of the most amazing photos and images of these clouds that appeared over 
Scotland in 1996. </FONT></DIV>

Hi all,

After looking at Robert's link, I started downloading and thought "There
has to be an easier way then going through 50yrs of data manually..."
and I noticed that you can download the data files vis FTP.  But you
need to download GRADS (or another viewer, and setup an X-Server).  Umm,
I'm not very technically minded - I'm currently downloading a 500mb
dataset (Telstra will love me...) but I did download a smaller one
(200kb) and GRADS and Win32-X-Server.

Anyone at all know how to set these up?  Pleeeeease!  I'd love to be
able to setup this, and download over the next few months, all of that
data and put it onto CD!

Wow, im speechless :)

This is the Holy Grail for past weather data, look at the LI forecasts alone
for some of the BIG tornado/storm outbreaks over the last 50 years !!!!!!!
Mindblowing stuff.

(Jimmy/Michael B, Jan30 1999 is worth a look for LI alone for that great day!)

Thanks for explaining it in detail for all of us Robert !
(love your morning glory research as well!)

Hi Anthony,

I did try using GRADs Software set up on an X windows this for a little 
while but it proved to be a challenge. Good luck with downloading the data.

I think people should look at this data if they are interested in plotting 
one of the many variables relating to a special event they recall in the 
past... all up to last month.
