BRISBANE METROPOLITAN AREA A few thundery showers developing during the day. Light to moderate northeast winds. Brisbane Airport for Sunday ... MIN 17 MAX 27 UV INDEX - 12 [Extreme] Outlook for Monday ... Chance of a thunderstorm MAX 30 Tuesday ... Late thunderstorms MAX 30 Wednesday ... Late thunderstorms MAX29 The phrase is: "I'll believe it when I see it". More and more lately I've gone off their forecasts. Example: 10pm 17/11/98 (Tues) forecast for 18/11 (Wed): "shower or two with fresh SE winds becoming strong". Actuality: Humid with light winds then thunderstorms 11am - 12.30pm then severe t'storms from 3.30 to 4pm!! Well we should get something.

Hopefully there will be a repeat of that famous storm a few years ago in Brissie when there was that severe hail storm at the ground and Deano had to take out the helmets to the ground staff. Very Boring outlook for Melbourne for the next 4 days, probably wont get above 20, oh well less than 2 weeks until Darwin.

Just my obs. It's warming up to now about 26 with a mod NNE wind and 3/8 cloud. Most of it is cumulus but all over I can see the clouds heightening with cu congestus in abundance and some nice TCU out to the S, SW and W. By watching the cricket, if you look at the scoreboard from the pitch its to the SSW or SW so that's where some action should come from. "A shr or t'storm" is now the forecast and I'd think that the latter is on offer today. Of course things change.

Radar shows quite a few echoes with a few to 20>40mm/hr in the quadrant SW from Marburg (15km west of Ipswich), but the loop for the last hour shows them growing to about this strength then dying back. One or two up the coast near Gympie have developed in the past half hour.

Today low cloud and a bit of drizzle this morning after our hot day yesterday. I am glad I didn't chase yesterday because the storms left the west coast very quickly and by midnight last night were based around Esperance (700 km away!)

The Energex tracker is showing lots of strikes. A dead single cell storm is currently covering the 'Gabba but nothing much should happen with that one. There are strikes near Ipswich and I'll continue to watch closely and hope they show a radar pic at the Tea Interval in the cricket. ------------------------------------------------------ James Chambers http://www.ozemail.com.au/~jamestorm/bristorm.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-Originating-Ip: [203.25.186.105] From: "Kevin Phyland" To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Subject: aussie-weather: Hurricanes, Tornadoes and Lightning!

A bit like the Oct 13 situation it seems. It's looking dark blue to the SW and there is the sound of continuous rolling distant thunder. (There's a better rumble then) I would think the cricket will be delayed or stopped early today. We just had a weak single cell with light rain in the southern suburbs but that should be just the start. There are no warnings yet. I'll have to unplug soon probably.

I'm in the southern suburbs and we were experiencing heavy rain and strong winds at least 25 mins before the Gabba did. Not severe. We had about 20mm in 10mins and a total of 22mm. Winds reached 70km/h with a sudden brief gust just before 4pm. Where I am, nothing was photogenic but very nice CG lightning is continuing but not as close as it was. There's a lesser risk of a storm tomorrow and increased likelihood of storms on Tues and Wed.

Please email me with any details, if any, of a >similar lightning detection service for victoria - I will be very grateful >for anything you can tell me. > >Thankyou > >Andrew McDonald. AND THE REPLY I GOT..... Dear Andrew. Our company has an Lightning Position & Tracking System (LPATS) installed in Eastern Australia. We have receivers at East Sale, Canberra, Mildura and Hobart to give excellent detection efficiency and locational accuracy in Victoria. As yet we do not have any clients in Victoria although we are vigorously chasing them. We are hopeful that prior to the end of 1998 we will have a few utilities and a few governmental agencies as clients. It is possible that one of these utilities may embark on a similar path to Energex. If your interest is purely photographic, perhaps you could inform us of your base and geographic area of interest and I'm sure we can work out an arrangement. Regards, Max Thomson < Marketing Manager Sounds interesting - I'm currently looking further into this and will notify all of anything interesting I can get. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: disarm at braenet.com.au X-Sender: disarm at braenet.com.au (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1998 19:03:50 +1100 To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Subject: aussie-weather: sydney weather Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com ok well i just watched the news and i cant ever remember seeing a forcast like this in my life..

I just witnessed an amazing sight, it is 6:30 and a storm had just passed over giving us 23mm in around 15mins. As the storm moved out onto Moreton Bay it intensified rapidly, Producing constant deafening Cg lightning for around 10 mins. As the storm moved further away and the cloud started breaking the sun came out and produced a brillian full rainbow between the now jet black stom and myself. With Cg lightning and a few anvil crawlers going off under this rainbow it was a sight and a half. As i clicked away on my camera i realised i had no film in it (!!!) .. and none in the house :( So that was a shame. Here is the Energex Lightning tracker at almost the exact time this occured, at over 118 strikes every 5 mins www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/cabaret/6306/6pmltngtracker.gif I still have constant rolling thunder, so hopefully it will last till the sun goes down :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-Sender: bayns at nornet.nor.com.au X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1998 16:41:39 +1000 To: aussie-weather at world.std.com From: steve baynham Subject: aussie-weather: storms on the goldy Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com hey all, some cool thunder and some nice black clouds hovering at the moment! no rain yet. there is this nice highrise building down the road, and the top of it looks like something out of a fairy tale, castle like structure, and the black clouds are rolling behind it. looks really cool! steve -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-Sender: bayns at nornet.nor.com.au X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1998 20:03:22 +1000 To: aussie-weather at world.std.com From: steve baynham Subject: aussie-weather: gold coast storm Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com that storm that came through produced some nice CG lightning, and light rain. best gold coast has had in a long time:) steve -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "dpn" To: Subject: aussie-weather: Lightning Tracking Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1998 21:03:28 +1100 X-Msmail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1157 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hey Andrew that lightning info would be great.

NGP has a low forming off the coast with some storm activity mainly northern NSW, whilst AVN has a full on inland low dragging loads of moisture and triggering major activity. These are both more accurate than anu news 6 day outlook, and yet they vary heaps less than 3 days out. Tomorrow by the way looks like Sydney - Wollongong may just be a smidge too far south.

I know NGP gets pretty unreliable that far out but it's mid latitude predictions tend to be more reliable than for the tropics (ie the TC NGP was trying to develop off WA last week). I am bracing myself for a period of westerlies coming up later in the week. After spending today in a westerly with DP hovering around minus 8 or 9 in Canberra for most of today, I am really looking forward to that!!
