Hi all
Well I found the article on page 4 in my local "Albert & Logan News" which
is part of the Quest Newspaper Group. I think it's only for around
Brisbane, but someone might prove me wrong.
Here's the article:

Hi Max and all,
The radar reflectivity features in the 10:20 UTC image
(22/09/99) are probably associated with the combined cold
outflows from the various storms of that line.
I would not be surprised if the warm air ahead of this
meso-coldfront/boundary blows NW-SE, and the rain-cooled air behind
from SW-NE. This would lead to the expected cyclonic
curvature of the flow across the front/boundary.
Cheers, Harald
----- Forwarded message from Max King -----
Would the wind backing form NW to S/SW immeditely behind the storm (which it
did) add any creedence to that theory?
Max.

There is a storm chase on. Matthew Piper and I will be in one car and
if others want to tag along, they an come and meet up with James Harris.
If you can't get here (if you really want to meet me and my corruptive
party) on time 8 am, just go up there in the Hunter and we will meet
somewhere. Just like in the movie Twister. We may stay overnight. I am on
holidays and am not so much in a hurry to return. For those that stay in
Sydney, don't despair. With me out of here, there is a lot of activity that
should occur anyway.
The situation has improved and I know the area around Wagga looks tempting
but I am heading towards the Hunter where the wind fields LOOK a little
better. There is a predicted lower level jet and backward veering in the
lower layers. Boy, I am no expert.
My mobile for those who dare to ring is 0408 020468 and 0414393267

Hi all,
Received 5mm in Higgins (Canberra) from a very
electrically active storm between 2.00am and 3.00am this morning. Almost
continuous lightning and thunder for a period around 20-30 minutes.
At 9.50am another band of storms is approaching. The cells are
tending to merge although with reducing intensity as they move east-south
eastwards. There is quite a large amount of anvil outflow ahead of these storms.
Hopefully this morning activity won't detract too much from the potential for
development later this afternoon.

Hi every1 (particularly those lucky sods in NSW)
While I'm sure that those people chasing today (and possibly tomorrow) are
aware of these values, the latest AVN run (1800Z as I write this) make for
interesting reading:
Saturday 25/9/99: Highest CAPEs are between Wagga and Canberra and are
between 1200 and 1500 (J/kg I presume)
Sunday 26/9/99: Highest CAPEs are between Mudgee and Bathurst and are
considerably higher at between 1800 and 2100
Monday 27/9/99: Highest CAPEs are around Condobolin and are back to about
1200 - 1400.
While the models can get a bit dodgy out that far it certainly looks like
tomorrow could be interesting in central NSW!
Have fun chaser,
Cheers,
Kevin from Wycheproof.

The Sydney Airport sounding for 6am should bring cheer to
storm-lovers' hearts -- I've put it at
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~wbc/aussiewx/Sydney%20SkewT%2099092506est.gif
Here at Blackheath, we've had several very large-spotted showers, and
one (1) rumble of thunder to the west at about 10.45am.
I think the chasers may have some luck today if they're in the right
spot.

Looks like anywhere from Putty to Wollembi and from Singleton to Maitland

Wind profile isn't ideal for supercells but the CAPE is pretty high!

Despite most of the action happening around Sydney, theres a little bit
trying to develop up this way as well. I just whipped out the old
digital camera and posted some pics here:

Hope there's some great pics from the Sydney guys after today.

Some storm activity in Perth today, storms arrived at around 11:30am with
the temperature sitting at 27C, the warmest day in months, the storms seem
to be clearing a little now around Perth, but some more storms are to the
NW on radar, and severe storms seem to be forming just to the east of
Perth, theres a severe thunderstorm advice out for that area.

Some decent congestus starting to build up to the west of Canberra (they

I called them at around 3:00 pm and they were at
Qurindi then. As Paul pointed out in an earlier
message CAPE is high but the winds are fairly weak at
all levels. Storms are firing up very quickly - but
they dont seem to be lasting for too long. There is a
nice one heading right for Forster as I write this
although I'll bet it will die b4 it gets there. Today
I think it is a case of being at the right spot at the
very right time for these pulse storms.

I've just bought myself a $99 CB - Uniden Pro 510XL (basic little 40 channel
set which came complete with antenna, which I'll upgrade before I go).
Does anyone else who is going on the chase in November have a CB & could
give me some pointers in CB use nowadays (last time I used one I was 19!!!!)
Is it worth making one of the channels a "call channel" for the chase?
What range is probable?
What do you call yourself?
and a million other questions I can't think of at the moment....

Just back on-line after being out of the house for 3 days whilst carpet was
layed.
Well what can I say, the Southern Illawarra has been dead boring,leaving one
with that cheated feeling.
Wednesday - action developed over southern highlands, slid NE, then off the
escarpment just north of Wollongong. In Shellharbour clear sunny skies, did
not even hear thunder !
Thursday - middle layer cloud heaven.
Friday - the SE wind change that came through at 6.30-am was the death knock
for Illawarra storms. Surprisingly a storm did develop on the south coast,
but most developed at where I estimated that the SE stalled. The sight from
sunny Shellharbour at sunset saw a row of storms far to the north, perhaps
north of Sydney, and another way to south. The southern Illawarra was in a
clear sunny oasis.
Saturday - So far nothing !!! I am getting really down. I cannot chase more
than an hour from home as my wife is due for our first in 14 days.
Boo Hoo

Perhaps I may have not worded my original message to explain what I really
mean. I meant just that forecasts should be altered if something else is "
seen " rather than sticking to the original. I don't doubt the model
accuracy in longer, say over 6 hours, but within the 2-3 hours I would
judge my own eyes far better.

On top of Michael T's dissapointment there has been no action north of
about Grafton today and yesterday in NE NSW.
John Graham and I went out for obs from noon today with some large cells
developing way to the south (later checked on radar to find they were 50km
SW of Grafton. Further weaker cells developed to the far W near
Tenterfield, and some late cells to the far NW and N on the Border ranges.
This latter area had congestus bubbling around most of the day, with
occasional pilleus, but nothing much became of it. We did get hopeful
briefly around 1pm as some large cu/congestus formed almost overhead, but
in hindsight I guess this occurred as the seabreeze spread over the
Alstonville platueu, lifting some air. We observed some brief but exciting
(!) willy willies cross our path for a few minutes too. The observations
were called off about 3pm as it became obvious nothing would happen.
Yesterday some strong storms developed to the SW of Grafton and tracked N
dying around sunset. Altocumulus spread into my location early evening, but
no lightning was seen.
regards, Michael

Hiyas....
There were two big anvils SW of Evans Head in the Dorrigo area at 11.30am
and I thought we could be in for some action. However by 12.30 they had
blown over and that was the end of it. There wasn't any anabatic cloud here
today on the coast which is a good indicator of action. Perhaps
tomorrow..perhaps not.
I noticed last night shitloads of flying ants around on sunset which is an
indicator of a few weeks dry spell...
the ground ants are very lazy too so there appears to be little to get
excited about up here....

Hi all,
Just had a call returned from Jimmy. He, Matthew Piper and James Harris are
at the lookout at Quirindi watching awesome lightning, maily to the south
as things gets going again in the central west. They're just setting up the
tripods for some lightning photography, so lets hope the action keep up -
it certainly looks like it from radar and the latest IR pics.
They have seen some nice storms today, but just pulse storms, no
supercells! They will fill in the details later, however Jimmy did indicate
that there was a lull in activity that has since returned thanks to the
seabreeze spreading inland.
They're staying over and will continue chasing tomorrow.
cheers, Michael

Hi Everyone
Ive added the good photos of the severe storm in sydney on the 22nd, and
photos of 2 storms on the ranges on the 21st.
http://www.braenet.com.au/~disarm click on "1999" then "September 21-22"
Also added some sunset photos to the Gallery section of the site
Ive also got some more lightning shots on another 1/2 used roll of film,
I'll get them done when the film is finished. I'll do a report in a few
days.. I have to take notes from the video I took to write it (times etc)
Thanks Ben Quinn for saving sat's/radar etc of the storm, very much
appreciated. and thanks Laurier for the soundings for Sydney today, shame
nothing came of them though :(
Enjoy!

Hi all,
Not a great deal; of action in Taralga today. It seems whether I'm in
Wollongong OR in Taralga the weather's running away from me ! Although, Michael, we did get one or two claps of Thunder
in North 'Gong on Wed...
We had a few textbook thundery showers today, but I spent most of the day
watching, in awe, the anvils to the North of me, I'm quite surprised there
doesn't seem to have been a great deal going on.
I noticed (anyone else) a massive cell off Sydney at about midday today
(25th) on radar, which would have been very interesting had it been 20-50 Km
to the west! Another April 14 perhaps!
Good luck all around here for tomorrow.
Andrew.

Hey people
What a day its been here in Perth. It started out pretty boring with me
missing out on a flight to Geraldton with some mates but with what we
had in the way of storms, Im glad I stayed home :-).
I didnt get a chance to do anything until the afternoon because I
decided to go for a short flight anyway. I got home and checked the
radar and noticed some storms developing to the north or me. I grabbed
the camera and got up on the roof. Sure enough, there were the Cb's in
the distance with fairly fibrous anvils, but they were there.
I took a couple pics of them then came back and checked the radar. There
was a line of storms developing off the coast. I jumped in my car and
headed off with my younger brother (couldnt stop him from coming with
me). I could hear heaps of static on the radio on the way to the coast
and when we got there, there were CG's all over the place. I set my
camera and tried my luck at getting some daytime shots of lightning
(please let them turn out well :-) ). I used the 10 shots I had left in
the camera and then headed home again.
I told my other brother and his mate that they were missing out on one
awesome lightning show here. They got off the computer and came with me
for a short drive to the local Marina. There was 2 storms there, one
west and one east. I had a real hard time trying to work out which one
to film with the video camera. Every time I looked at one storm a ripper
strike would come from the other, gee it was annoying. Anyway, when both
batteries were dead on the camera we headed back to my place, got the
still camera and went and bought a 36 exp roll of film. We headed south
along the Freeway and stopped just south of Rockingham. There was no
street lights anywhere so I set the camera up. There were cg's
everywhere, I reckon I caught somewhere between 20-25 strikes on this
roll. Im hoping I had the camera set up properly. Oh well, I'll know on
Monday.
I'll get the pics up as soon as I get the rolls of film developed
Cheers
Greg
