Hello All,

The northside of Brisbane experienced an impressive electrical show this
evening.  I counted about 20 strokes within a kilometre.  I think that I
caught the stroke that caused us to loose power on the SLR.  Have to wait
and see how it turns out.  But I did catch this one on the digital.  Not
much to see, it is all white.  Even the stroke was washed out.

Hi Everyone,

Another very successfull chase today - the afternoon started off very well,
with some great mammatus from a storm around the Ipswich area

http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/bring-it-on/ben2.jpg

Then a huge storm NW of Ipswich

http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/bring-it-on/ben1.jpg
http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/bring-it-on/ben3.jpg
http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/bring-it-on/04-08a.jpg

(all the pictures with dates in the URL were taken by Jason Rainforest)

Then another monster (the 50 000 footer seen by MB in NE NSW) between
Ipswich and Boonah, which was an awfully fierce storm - lots and lots of
hail at one stage

http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/bring-it-on/04-08b.jpg
between not being able to find many decent vantage points, and the
persistant rain, it made it hard to get decent pictures of the front end of
this storm - at times,  it looked a lot better than it does in the above
picture

then the hail
http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/bring-it-on/04-08c.jpg
http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/bring-it-on/04-08d.jpg

the back end of this storm, showing a very large hail shaft
http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/bring-it-on/04-08e.jpg

and then a nice looking storm just after sunset to the SW (i think)
http://bsch.simplenet.com/ben/bring-it-on/04-08f.jpg


On the way home mid evening i was treated to a great lightning show in
Moreton bay, with the lightning rate around 1 every 1-2 seconds for
prolonged periods, and countless AWESOME Cg's and anvil crawlers

More pics and MPEG movies will be in the report, which will hopefully be
written up and uploaded tomorrow

Hi Tony - great photos!  I'm pretty sure this is the same cell, it was
certainly a supercell.  I observed a few areas of rotation, including
one watching a new updraft go up, and you could physically see it
corkscrew as it went up!

I also observed what I believed to be a very large and well rounded wall
cloud.  I had a good view of it, but it was still slightly distant!  It
persisted for around 15-20mins before it disipated.  It was under main
developing updraft of the storm, on the southern edge.  This is unusual,
but this supercell was a right mover.  The hailshafts on this were quite
impressive, and the structure...oh, amongst the best I've seen!!!

I got the same cell that Ben/Jason got later on the day too (we
sheltered in the same area!)  With hail around 2cm in size, and very
strong winds (enough for branches/trees to be knocked down).  It was
quite scary actually, with the strong winds the hail was making HUGE
clonks on the car, upon checking for damage more closely later on I
observed a few very small chips in the paintwork on the top of the car
that I *don't remember* seeing before.  I got hail 5 times today! 
Including one from the first main cell that moved over the Mt Walker
area.  This cell gave numerous CG's that were very close, including one
that struck a post about 20-30m in front of me!  Needed a new change of
underwear :)  

Anyway - lots of footage/pics...will do a report when the storms stop
(or I run out of money and/or time to chase the storms, whichever
first!)

Hi All,

Well the storm season seems to be well and truly established... Plenty of
activity around the Ipswich area today and yesterday.  Todays effort was
more widespread, but yesterdays effort wasn't bad either, that Gatton storm
had a ripper of radar echo.  Started as two pink cells which merged and then
went red, firstly in what appeared to be spiral, then a hook as it passed
over gatton, finishing in a beautiful S shape.

Fairly decent hail shower at Mt. Crosby around 3:30pm thisarv., plenty of
small hail to 2.5cm - quite a bit of leaf stripping - but very little wind.
Lightning everywhere around to about 10pm.  Total precip. 19mm.  Very
photogenic updrafts & click went the camera.  Tried to do my storm spotting
bit, but the BoM wern't answering phones.

Forgot that I had left the atrium roof open - so 1 inch hail in the house...
(ooo Jimmy you'd like that)  Yelps from the wife as she got pelted trying to
shut it...  I was too busy out with camera - wasn't very popular.

John.

There are a number of potential reasons for this.  The most likely one is
that all the trees fell at or near the same time with the same strong wind.
 Subsequent changes in wind direction that might have been of the same
strength or even stronger would have had nothing left to damage or trees to
down.  Thus, keep in mind that the order in which the damage occurred is
important.

The second possibility is that the rotational winds that are in the same
direction as storm motion will be stronger (by the speed of storm motion)
and those on the side of the vortex that oppose storm motion will be weaker
by the same magnitude.

BTW, one of the things one needs to look for when surveying damage is to
look for evidence of a 'convergent' flow vs a 'divergent' flow.  Tornadic
wind flows are typically convergent when you look at wind direction either
side of the damage path.  These convergent flows are often seen in
association with the trailing region of the tornado.  Whereas the wind
direction of a microburst is divergent in nature.  

However, not uncommonly microbursts are found flanking the tornado,
especially toward the beginning of a tornadic vortex damage path.  So, at
times both forms of damage can be found nearby one another.  The RFD is 
commonly associated with microbursts.

The tornadic stage of supercellular storms is commonly the 'collapse phase'
of the storm.  During that stage the echo top will decrease, the hook echo
will 'wrap up' and disappear, and the low level echo will actually decrease
in intensity.  Those using radar as a warning tool must always keep this in
mind or else they may actually cancel a tornado warning at the very time
the tornado is developing or reaching its most severe stage.

Hi Paul,

My parents reported 3cm hail from this storm, which is just under golf
ball size (4.2cm), they said there was torrential rain (39mm in 35mins
from two cells), but the first storm blocked up the rain guage with
hail...so they may have well got a fair bit more then that!  They didn't
say there were any strong winds, but this was the same cell that I ran
into south of Peaks Crossing (north of Boonah), and it certainly had
strong-severe winds!!!

So no doubt, golf ball hail was quite a possibility.  Geez I'd hate to
get my car under huge hail!

I hope I'm not getting to ahead of myself here but the prospects for 
thunderstorm activity, even severe thunderstorm activity is looking 
excellent for SA even a high chance for Adelaide.  It's still three days 
away and BOM is mentioning heavy local falls possible in every district.  
This is not like BOM unless there is a very good chance of this happening.  
Plus a very moist tropical and unstable airmass should be ahead of the 
change giving very good chances of t'storms.  I really think it is 
Adelaide's turn now to get a t'storm we haven't had a decent one since 
April.  The forecast is for Showers and thunderstorms developing probably 
around midday.  Well I can only hope that the moist tropical and unstable 
airstream does come our way instead of always just to the east or north of 
the central district.

I wouldn't write off SE NSW today - the storms currently over Goulburn
heading east look very impressive from Canberra. Some great pilius as these
congestus built into the cirrus layer. I can see a number of CB off to the
SE as well.

Judging by the Cb I can see, I wouldn't be surprised to see warnings issued
for futher south than they already are.

Canberra has had heavy showers through the morning which cleared about an
hour ago. Moisture doesn't seem to be a problem today, lack of surface
heating may. Whether Canberra gets some storms this afternoon will depend on
whether the mid-upper levels are stabilising. The Wagga sounding showed a
500mb temp of -18. If that holds, things are looking good.

Patrick

Hi gang

I found this in today's online edition of Brisbane's Sunday Mail:

Cyclone alert: Coast may be hit seven times
NIKKI VOSS
                    03nov00

                    UP TO seven cyclones could hit the
                    Queensland coast this season, with
                    at least one expected to be severe,
                    weather forecasters say.

                    They predict up to six cyclones may
                    strike Queensland's east coast and
                    at least one is expected to form in
                    the Gulf of Carpentaria. 

                    The Bureau of Meteorology has announced its annual cyclone outlook after the
                    season officially started on Wednesday. 

                    Brisbane's Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre supervisor Jim Davidson said yesterday
                    the findings were taken from complicated calculations based on sea temperatures. 

                    READ THE FULL REPORT IN THE PRINT EDITION OF THE SUNDAY MAIL

Hi all

Just had a report from Jimmy of a massive storm at Woolgoolga near Coffs
Harbour on the NSW Mid North Coast. He has seen a massive wall cloud and
possibly a tornado from this storm. It looks very impressive on satpix I
must say. The possible tornado has been reported to the BoM.
NE NSW really looks good today with a number of storms around the place up
there but this is definitely the biggest.

Meanwhile, I am hearing thunder here at St Ives in northern Sydney from a
storm to the northwest that Rune has already posted about.

Could be an interesting afternoon...

Matt Pearce

Hi all

I just thought I'd let everyone know why the Brisbane Weather Radar isn't
working at the moment.  Yesterday even it was struck by lightning!!  It's
hopefully being fixed as we speak but it looks like we'll have to make do
with broad radars and the local Gympie/Grafton radars.  Great day for it to
go down!  Several people are out chasing what is already a very big storm
day over the inland so far, extending onto the coast in the next couple of
hours.

Hopefully a storm currently situated NW of Ipswich (which is spread an anvil
across Brisbane) can make it to the coast - as long as it doesn't do any
damage.  While on that subject, I don't know why there isn't a Severe
Thunderstorm Advice for SE Qld yet, although maybe when everyone gets this
email there will be one...

Another thing...there are WNW and NW winds inland and NNE winds along the
coast to about Ipswich now.  This could mean storms are becoming severe
right about now.  Anyway see ya!

When it's 'down', you can usually get broadscale at least by going to one of
the adjacent locations.

Hi all,

Another great chase today, much larger storms than yesterday. Last night a 
storm developed just E of my house around 11pm and gave a beautiful 
lightning show that was very photogenic.

Today I chased in the area between Casino and Kyogle - I didn't have to 
venture too far, there was just so much development. A very large system 
formed on the Richmond Range from about 1pm and just kept growing - a 
massive plume of anvil spread eastwards with plenty of mammatus overhead, 
and a solid curtain of precipitation to my west. There was another area of 
storm development to the SW, but not as strong. To the far S around Coffs 
Harbour a very large storm has formed, and Jimmy was on to that after 
having stayed at Grafton overnight.

This storm to my west was very slow moving, edging E-NE. Plenty of CGs and 
inflow lowerings on the NE side. At first I was located east of the cell 
but moved north along the Summerland Way to be about 10ks S of Kyogle and 
NE of the storm. This cell soon became severe in appearance, with intense 
precipitation on its SW side and a beautiful curve of inflow bandind on the 
NE. Several suspect lowerings formed along this boundary, and over this the 
hailstorm green tinge. The updraft was soon overhead and CGs were hitting 
rather close. I had to decide whether to barrel north up the highway out of 
the storm or find a vantage point. I did the latter after I spotted a large 
carport at the side of a field next to a dirt road. The farmer was still 
ploughing the field but soon returned and had no problems with me stopping 
there. He headed off home just before the storm hit at 3pm. It was quite 
worrying at first, this menacing arc of precip heading my way. I just hoped 
there would not be large wind blown hail.

Swathes of rain were driven in by 40knot W winds. This was soon followed by 
hail to 1cm, though this was quite sparse and did not last fortunately. It 
seemed that the heaviest rain passed just to my south.

I headed through the rain back south hoping to see what the other storm was 
up to. I wasn't disappointed  !! A pronounced wall cloud was about 10ks to 
my SSW and then I noticed scuds under this - then it was a column of scuds 
- bloody hell a funnel !!!
I screeched the car to a halt beside the highway for photos and video at 
3.20pm. It was a definite column of cloud not extending to the ground that 
I could make out, but a lovely sight. I managed to stand on a nest of ants 
at this point and received a nasty bite that bugged me for the next hour. 
But who cares, a funnel. It lasted a few minutes before dissipating. I 
moved to a side road to continue to watch as an extensive line of activity 
stretched from the persisting wall cloud westwards for about 30ks. CGs were 
going beserk along this whole line, many lowerings formed under updrafts 
and a shelf cloud developed on the SW part of the line. It was a magic sight.

Within 20 minutes it had spread to my location with very large drops of 
rain and gusty S outflow winds. A few bits of hail fell but nothing much. 
There was extensive cloud  turbulence overhead before heavy rain hit.

Further activity developed along this E-W line with lovely CGs and intense 
precipitation curtains. It was apparent a large storm was now just to my NE 
(4.30pm). I moved south a caught a glimpse of something magic to the far 
south. Sure enough the supercell Jimmy had been on to. It was absolutely 
huge, just like the one I saw in SE QLD the evening before: punching up 
around the 15-16 km in height. Massive backshearing, and overshooting dome. 
Masses of boiling cumulus surrounded the W and NW flanking line. And it was 
perfectly illuminated by the lowered sun (it was now just before 5pm).

I decided to head east towards home, hopefully to get a better view of the 
supercell, but it became obscured soon afterwards and I was caught in a 
large area of outflow dominant rain, with some quite heavy falls between 
Casino and Lismore.

When I arrived home at 6pm the area was under the influence of 30-40 know 
NE winds from the outflow of the large cell further up the coast. Stratus 
streamed inland and some further congestus popped up over Lismore. To the 
ENE a cell passed over Byron Bay with intense CGs, and then became 
illuminated by the sunset. Lovely !

Another great day, and AVN has the Liftex Index progged to -7 over us again 
tomorrow afternoon!

Thanks to John Graham for radar updates.

cheers, Michael

This is fairly off the topic.

I was just thinking imagine what weather services will be like say in ten 
years time or so.  I wreckon we will get 3D images of everything - advancing 
storm systems, not just t'storms by the way.  I know BOM already uses 3D 
models of t'storms etc but I think they will become widely available and 
very advanced.  There have been such improvements in weather services over 
the last 15 years, the mind boggles at the future.  My ispiration for this 
thought wasn't drugs:-)  It was the weather company's excellent lightning 
tracker, this is just an example of great technology.

By the way a big deal is being made here in Adelaide on weather reports 
about Wednesday due to all of the warnings already issued to farmers on 
raised dust and high humidity for Tues/Wed.  It looks like it could be a 
beast of a system, haven't had decent rain since mid October,(about the 
19th).  I wish someone would write about what they think this system could 
or will produce especially for Adelaide.  I myself have a good feeling that 
there will be a thunderstorm but I have already been let down many times 
this year along with other weather lovers in SA, where are you all???

Hi,
I am very new (today) to the group, and have so much more to learn as well.

But to add Michael's review, this storm in particular reached as far south
as the Central Coast (I'm at Tuggerah).  Lots of noise, no light shows
though, with moderate precip.
Ange

Howdy Angela. I'll be the one who's going to ask, where's Tuggerah? I don't
possess an atlas, obviously on the Central coast NSW somewhere.

yesterday (saturday)night  at  7.30 there was freakish weather  at  Allora between 
Warick and Toowoomba. I was driving towards toowoomba and saw hundreds (well 
maby not quite but pretty close to it) of cg's and heaps of sheet lighting. 
it is perhaps the most powerful storm i have ever experienced. some of the 
lightning was with within 150m of the car with instaneous thunder with the 
lightning. as i was looking out the window i saw a bolt come down little 
more than 100m away and stuck a tree, literly blew it up and showered sparks 
everywhere. we could actually see the diameter of the lighting!!it was soo 
close. one of best experiences ive had. i saw a town get blacked out as 
well. it was unreal. there wasn't any hail where we were but im sure there 
was some somewhere along the line.

thanks

nate

Hi Angela!

Welcome to the list and I share the same sentiments as others already
expressed...

Just a note on today's stuff...not quite the same storms that affected NE
NSW affected the Central Coast today. However, I was chasing round the
Central Coast area this afternoon so know what you mean! Those storms
actually developed to the west...around Richmond in NW Sydney and tracked
ENE towards Gosford. I managed to get into the storm that went across
Gosford around 4:45pm or so, experiencing some torrential rain around Calga
and then on the old Pacific Highway between Calga and Kariong. There was a
fair bit of thunder, but I couldn't see any lightning :( This was mainly due
to the blanket of stratocumulus(the low cloud that covered the Central coast
and Sydney all day) which was a bit of a pain. If that Sc hadn't been there,
it would have been a great chasing afternoon. Oh well, a good little
afternoon chase after all...

Matt

Howdy all.

Great to hear about all the fantastic weather you Southerners have 
been havin (actually thank God cause now you can all stop whinin 
about no storms etc  .... :) kiddin)

Good inland action here this weekend.

Jacob & I chased both days:

Saturday - chased to Mary River & Corroboree Creek for some 
great little Pulse cells that banded together to some decent 
multicell action. Great downdrafts - some causing major dustdevils 
& vortices in the dust. Heavy rain almost saw us bogged on a road 
in the middle of dammwell nowhere!! (Mental note Holden Calais 
are NOT good 4WD vehicles!!).

Sunday - travlled to same place after seeing some of the hardest 
updraftes ever (got pics!!). Got there saw some good pulse action. 
Left there a little disappointed - went to Adeliade River (about 
150Km or so) to chase a nice hard Cell - then watched a severe 
cell develop and produce an amazing lightning display with action 
of 3 - 4 per second!! On Satpic appeared as a massive blob!! 
Anway was worth every second of driving!!

Many thanx to Jacob for telling me that it was NOT a person on a 
bike in the middle of nowhere but rather it was a road post!! hehehe.

Great weekend really - 600km & great company!!

Pics will be developed when I can - and new website address given 
shortly!

Paul in Darwin.
PS Congrats to Matt Smith - well deserved from all the hard work & 
busts he has suffered!!
