Hi all,

Well what a day today was...after having a very hot night with the temp
hovering around 33C it finally dropped a little to reach a min of 31.3C at
4:25am (highest in the state) id say all the Air conditioners running
throughout the Town is what kept the temperature a little higher here lol.
The Karratha AP AWS had a min of 27C. Once the sun came up all hell broke
loose with the temperature sky rocketing to 41.3C by 9am! Not much later we
reached the max of 44.6C  at  10:29am and just before the Seabreeze freshened
up we had a temp/dew point of 44/19 !!! which is a Heat Index of 48C ! The
humidity continued to rise with the seabreeze to be around 34/26 at 12:30pm
and at the Airport it was an unbearable 35/27.

Here are a few graphs from the weather station...from midnight to 4pm today

Even the native backyard wildlife which is used to the heat were trying to
keep cool in the shade hehe :)

Going for a cooler day tomorrow with the BoM forecasting a Max of 39C down
5.6C from today.
I'm looking forward to later this week when hopefully the drought will end
with some rain from TC Sam :)
It's anyone's guess where he'll end up...could be anywhere between Broome
and NW Cape... although the BoM on TV tonight are going for a landfall
somewhere along 80 mile beach. Looks like windshear will be the big question
mark...whether or not he becomes severe...

Hi David,

I'd say your chances today are virtually nil. However, Thursday looks
marginal for some border range stuff, and Friday is looking very likely
for some decent convective activity accross the region, as is the weekend.
And lucky me - four days off starting Friday morning!! :-)

Cheers,

Jonty.

Dave,

It is pretty crap here at the moment, the SE is alive and well, 
although I can see what I suspect is an anvil to the west 
through gaps in the low cloud.

Hoping for something off the ranges though!

There has been rapid expansion of the area of storm activity from roughly
Taralga to Singleton, the big one seems not to have moved much, my bet is
that it is over Wollemi national park.

By the way the Illawarra is under strato-cu and moderate SE winds.

Michael

I have just spoken to jimmy, and he is at Jerrys Plains, which is on the NW
side of the monster that is currently sitting south of Singleton. The Jerrys
Plains/Denman area is a weird little hotspot, and if there are storms
around, they will be at their strongest in this area. (its got something to
to with the topography, a little convergence zone perhaps). I reckon it will
hit the singleton area, although wouldn't be suprised to see it propogate
north toward muswellbrook. Jimmy said that there are storms everywhere
including over the Barington Tops. Will be an interesting arvo.

Hi Everyone,
                   I've had reports of 4.5cm hail from the Hunter cell - one
of our storm chasers has a dented car now..

Hi Dann  + Everyone,
             As far as I can see, it looks like the SE change is penetrating
inland and converging with light W's - right where the strong Hunter cell
formed..

Have just spoken to Matt Smith, Anthony and Macca. They are now heading out 
towards Denman then up to Muswellbrook to follow this massive Cell.
It has now been going for well over two hours at rates of Pink and Red all 
over. Matt smith and Macca both called when they got into Mobile range near 
Singleton and reported up to 4.5cm hail from this cell north of Putty around 
2:30pm to 3pm. This cell is massive and after reporting the Hail to Rob Webb 
at the BOM severe section here he proclaimed it as a Monster that they were 
very worried about !!!! At the moment the Cell is still heading N to NNE and 
looks to be crossing the New Engalnd Highway atm and then heading just east 
of Muswellbrook. Matt also mentioned that the Updraught was showing some 
fantastic spiralling action, certainly judging from their reports and 
looking at radar this certainly is looking most likely a large Supercell 
!!!! love it !

As Dann said that are is a real Hot spot and once again the Hunter is living 
up to its reputation as being a CB paradise for Severe stuff !

Will keep an eye on it and will give updates when Matt an the others let me 
know

Have just spoken to Matt Smith, Anthony and Macca. They are now heading out
towards Denman then up to Muswellbrook to follow this massive Cell.

Being a "stick in the mud" Victorian, I have to ask. Where is this place?
Sounds good but I wouldn't have the foggiest where it was.

The Ceduna radar looks rather interesting with what looks like and area of 
rain just to the west over the Bight, lightning tracker also shows a flash 
of lightning for the same area of rain.  Maybe this is all an error but it 
seems a bit weird for this activity to pop up when BOM is forecasting fine 
conditions for basically the entire state and there is activity close to the 
coast.  I suppose this rain area or thundery shower will continue out to sea 
but it is still interesting seeing as indications were that this middle 
level trough wasn't meant to cause much activity.  Tomorrow maybe a bit 
interesting if we were lucky.  We really do need some rain here in my view 
with almost 27 days without more than one trace of rain at Kent Town.  This 
is worse than summer weather when we get at least a bit of rain in a month 
period.  At least it is not too hot!

Hi all

Tonight there's one particular thunderstorm moving towards the Tenterfield
area from areas NNW of Dorrigo.  It is moving along the Ranges to the N or
perhaps a little west of North at probably 40km/h.  Radar shows a large area
of 40-100mm/hour intensity rain and at times some 100mm/hour areas.  I'd say
there'd be some severity with this storm, which has been going for about 2
hours.

Of course I'm hoping for it to come close enough to Brisbane for some
distant lightning but that's probably not likely.  Hopefully that'll come
tomorrow and maybe a big day on Friday.

The STA for the Northern Tablelands is below, issued at 09z:

Hi All

      Wow what a couple of days its been up North. First Sam, then a Low in the 
Gulf and now in the next few days another Low in the Gulf should develop 
according to the Bom in Darwin. Before we even think of that, Sam according to 
most models is set to recurve towards WA. I have not seen a model yet that has 
him continuing moving West. A new Low is expected to develop in the Gulf along 
the Monsoon trough, anyones guess as to its movement. 

       Also according to the Tropical Weather Outlook issued by the BoM it 
seems as though the Coral Sea may be about to become fairly active in the next 
week or two, so hopefully Queensland will experience some interesting weather 
from that. Speaking of interesting weather, there was an uncomfirmed report of 
500mm in a spot just South of Cairns, as well as South Johnstone with 
approximately 250mm. This rainfall was a result of A Convergent Easterly 
stream, Once again, hopefully more to come in the next couple of weeks. 
Unfortunately Townsville missed out due to the rainshadow effect around us. If 
there are any high rainfall totals from the Monsoon or the Cyclones Id love to 
hear about them.

        CHEERS: Chris Nitso

11.19pm 06/12 .

I just arrived home after being at work since 9am this morning.. These storms
hit Dubbo around 5..30pm.. Boy didnt we know about it. East Dubbo and most of
areas on the outskirts all had no power. The phones were going mad in Call
Centre, at first there was only 3 of us answering the calls. Then myself and 2
others called in reinforcments. So all up we had about 10 people answering
phones.. The reports of Hail were amazing, upto 11 inches in gutters around
Elong Elong near Dunedoo. Yeoval also copped it again after last Thursdays
effort, 300 metres of power lines down, and 3 poles down in one street alone..
If this wasnt enough then Coonabarabran also had severe storm and hail which
blacked an area of about 100km or more.. 66kv lines to substations were
affected again as was last Thursday..  One person had reported his switchboard
melted and hanging off the wall. Another had power lines over fuel tanks on a
property. It certainly caused some damage in our area.

Gulgong, Tambar Springs, Coolah and about 15 other smaller towns around
Coonabarabran had gone off.

Nyngan, Nevertire went off earlier from power line down. Mudgee, Pyramal only
blacked out about 1 hr ago, no storms in area though. IM sorry im mentioning
so many unusal names of towns here, but they are listed and supplied under
Advance Energy and we cover 120,000 people. I can explain where some of these
are fi you wish.. pls email me..

About 1200 calls taken tonight, I dare say other Energy Companies like AE
would also had been very busy..

Lets see what happens for the rest of the week..
