Michael 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.

On its backside the trough shows a decent surface temperature gradient (15 C just W, 22 C just E of the surface front). The poor thing is pretty much moisture starved with dewpoints below 10 C over most of extratropical WA/SA. The system has very little lightning associated with it. What I like most about this system is the model-extrapolated 80+ knot jet at 500 hPa. What will be interesting is this system moving into the region of returning PBL moisture in NSW and QLD. If the AVN prog holds up I see a chance of some supercells in N NSW / S QLD on Friday afternoon/evening (06Z)! Here is my day-2 outlook, any feedback????

One of my main concerns is UDMS (Upside Down Moisture Syndrome :) it looks like there'll be a lot of moisture in the upper levels and not much moisture in the low levels. No doubt if it forms a fairly widespread rainband, it'll help the SFC/PBL moisture levels as you've mentioned - and that could prove to be something to assist us in weeks to come. The other concern I have, is what appears could end up being another NW'ly feeding into the trough, bringing dry hot winds into the band. I think that there will be convective 'explosion' though (not sure where/when), as there is a strong upper level trough behind this - but the cloud could be a bit annoying for us east coasters.

I would have expected much higher on those 2 days. This was at 06Z on those days. The LI's on the 1st January 1970 had a very interesting pattern in that it was a long narrow arc running the length of the NSW coast in a N/S lay, rather than the usual NW/SE orientation we seem to see mostly.

Some mean wind speeds were recorded up to 64 knots, hurricane force. Lots of surface flooding occured around the low lying areas of the city and a total of 400 trees were brought down by the ferocious SW winds. A boat marina in Lyttelton Harbour was demolished by the wind and weather with damage reported up to $3 NZ million to marina and boats.. Lots of damage to houses with people having to be evacuated. The rains were mainly concentated on coastal areas and around Banks Peninsula where up to 300mm were recorded - this is nearly a half of what Christchurch gets in a year. Things are now abaiting now with the rain easing off and winds easing as the low drifts slowly NE. Unfortunately the storm was a "non-photographical" storm in a video sense as the effects of it are mainly as what resulted from it eg. trees toppling over, water rushing down hills and the 'human element'. The storm was a result of a depression 'bombing' over the central South Island yesterday. The depression is now moving towards Wellington with gales expected along the Kaikoura Coast but should not be as severe as the low pressure centre has filled in a little.

I have seen video still of a Sony DV8 and the quality is much better than my Canon 8mm Hi8. Dubbing onto VHS also gives better quality with digital. The downside is that they are more expensive. If you really want the VHS-C format for its convenience, go to SVHS-C, there are a couple of JVC cams that have this format, it is similar to Hi8 in video quality ( more lines ) Same with 8mm, if you really want this format than go to Hi8 instead. The VHS-C and 8mm are quite good when you view the original tape, but lose somewhat more than Hi8 and SVHS-C when dubbed.

Hi everyone,
                      There looked like quite a bit of turbulence at around the cloud level late this afternoon, with quite an impressive display of altostratus mammatus between 17:00 and 19:00.
 
On the subject of frost, according to ABC Radio today, considerable losses have occurred in chic-pea crops in the Wimmera over the past few days; in one case mentioned, one particular farmer has had his crop completely destroyed. The lowest temperature I recorded here in Golden Square was 0.7deg. yesterday morning; the Bendigo airport being in a particularly frost susceptible area recorded, as Blair mentioned -0.2 deg.
 
Regards

No wonder we had that storm today. John Gaul NZ Thunderstorm Society PS. Incidentally we had a pressure difference of 6.2hPa between ChCh airport and Le Bons Bay out on Banks Peninsula at 9am today. The distance between those 2 points is about 30 miles, 50 kms. No wonder it was so windy and 400 trees were toppled and a boat marina wrecked in Lyttelton Harbour.

Yep - some nice pulse cells around Katherine. I have just got off the plane that had to fly through them!! Was fun...... BTW they are about 30 - 35,000 feet these babes - as I was flying in a BA149 (??) that cruises at 27,000 feet and we had to plow through some. Also encountered some good cells embedded in the cold front near Uluru this afternoon. These storms were not as big as the ones near Katherine, as we scrapped through them - and only hit the tops. However they shook the plane around somewhat!! Talking about storm heights - the ones near kunnunara Halls Creek are massive. I could see them quite clearly from the plane - and they towered well over 40,000 feet I reckon. They could be seen as we flew near Tennant Creek - which is a few 100'kms. Anyone got an idea what the weather may be like in Sydney next week? Should I pack winter woolies (after freezing my .... off in Perth).?? Any chance of storms say Sunday? Paul back in a Warm Darwin. PS - Darwin had a nice little storm last night as part of a gulf line that screamed through. I happened to be watching it on radar as I was working (at 2am Perth time). Had some decent blobs of pink as well. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ X-Originating-IP: [203.18.21.200] From: "Simon" To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Subject: aus-wx: Mammatus of Frankston Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 21:10:16 EST X-OriginalArrivalTime: 12 Oct 2000 11:10:16.0870 (UTC) FILETIME=[00475C60:01C0343D] Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Well, it may not be very exciting to most, but I just saw (and recognised) my first Mammatus cloud tonight over Frankston, Victoria at around 6pm. As much as I may have seen it before not realising (or paying attention) - this was the first time I've seen it with knowledge, and I must admit... it's a damn cool cloud group to look at.

Hi all.
 
If anyone is still awak have a look at the recent water vapour image - there is a distinct line right in the middle of the Low/Cloud Band through Victoria at the moment.
 
Any ideas what it is? Obv. an area of low moisture - is that where the actual boundary between the air masses is?
