hey all,
after reading a severe squall/thunderstorm warning for the south central and
melbourne regions on wednesday, i was hoping for some nice action.
unfortunately, i observed nothing more than drizzle and some moderate winds.
having spoken to numerous friends, no-one even heard any thunder.
did anyone in the viinity of melbourne see any sign of the severe weather
that was forcast on wednesday?
adam

I was out on the Bay from about 2PM to 4PM & there seemed to be a fair amount of rain around but nothing much ever reached where I was. I turned the AM radio on around 3PM but couldn't hear any static. We had a few big drops of rain and when we got back in (Sandringham) the wind increased dramatically for about 15 minutes around 4:30. I'd be surprised if it got above 30 knots though - I didn't even bother to read the wind speed because it didn't seem strong enough to get excited about. We commented that we were fortunate to have got off the water before it hit but it wouldn't have caused us too much trouble. I did see some mammatus when we first went out & the clouds were interesting all day - they did look like they might do something & I eventually took some photos around sunset. I was really surprised to read the warning when I got home that night.

Hi All
After listening to the advancing trough through eastern Australia, the
consistent high level cloud yesterday was a bit of a disappointment. As I
was leaving work at 6.00pm, a beautiful storm was just starting to roll
through Newcastle. We had regular CGs and when when I first went outside, a
moderate inflow wind. The storm then dropped a decent amount of rain and
was gone after 20 minutes. Only seemed to be a single cell passing through.
One of the CGs hit something west of my work which lit up the sky with a
huge blue/green glow. We have a lot of high tension power lines in that
direction so I'm guessing it hit those. Will give Energy Australia a ring
today and see if they might tell me.
Watching the shelf cloud come through and then the downdraft explode through
the base of the storm was very entertaining though. I did get some
excitement after all Jane. :)

Howdy all.
Looks like we may have 2 TC's on our hands this weekend. The 1st is
starting to take shape just SW of Timor while another is forming NE of
Timor. Means that both the NT & WA Coasts could get some action early
next week.
(1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 10.0S1
125.0E8 IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 11.6S8 120.0E3, JUST SOUTHWEST OF TIMOR.
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS PERSISTENT CONVECTION
OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS WITH A MID TO UPPER-LEVEL CIRCULATION EVIDENT.
SYNOPTIC ANALYSIS SHOWS A LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE MONSOON TROUGH. UW-CIMSS CHART INDICATES AREA IS
UNDER WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. 200 MB CHART SHOWS AN UPPER-LEVEL
ANTICYCLONE OVER AREA. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15
TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED NEAR 1004 MB.
THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS THEREFORE UPGRADED TO FAIR.
(2) AN AREA OF CONVECTION IS LOCATED NEAR 6.5S1 129.5E7,
APPROXIMATELY 200 NM NORTHEAST OF TIMOR. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS PERSISTENT CONVECTION WITH A WEAK MID TO UPPER-LEVEL
CIRCULATION. UW-CIMSS AND 200 MB CHARTS INDICATE THAT CONVECTION IS
WITHIN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT, UNDER THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS.
SYNOPTIC DATA SHOWS THAT THE AREA IS FORMING NEAR THE MONSOON TROUGH
AXIS, HOWEVER A LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER IS NOT EVIDENT. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED NEAR 1006 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF
A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS POOR.

The BoM has been predicting 2 weekend cyclones, one N of the Kimberleys in
WA, the other N of the Cocos Is in the CIO, in their TC Outlooks since
yesterday - if you are looking for BoM TC outlook links, you will all of
them find them on my Current Cyclone Information Page at
http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/current.htm.
They haven't mentioned the one NE of Timor yet though - next outlooks due
around 2:30 pm AEST.
Yesterdays info pasted below.
Regards,
Carl.
PS. I have made some WA region screen size maps for plotting in your
computer, they are online now on my Cyclone Tracking Maps page at
http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/TCMaps.htm, the rest of the set will
follow soon.

of Derby and 785 kilometres [425 nautical miles] north of Broome.
Central Pressure :1004 hPa
Recent movement :slowly southwest
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
next 24 hours : Low
24-48 hours : Moderate
48-72 hours : High
REMARKS - A tropical low has formed to the north of the Kimberley. It is
expected to develop further over the next couple of days and has high potential
to form into the first tropical cyclone for the season. In the longer term it
is expected to move southward towards the WA coast and poses a threat to
coastal
communities later in the weekend.

Geez, I would go there if I was closer to the event, sounds interesting.
Just on this, has anyone that is more experienced on the list thought of
preparing an interview/storm assessment help sheet to be used in a storm
damage event? Such a thing could help with uniformity of information
etc.
Its just an idea (bit like an accident report) but it might really help
those of us that have less of an idea what to photograph and what
questions to ask if we were able to visit particular storm damage events
that were in our vicinity, particularly if it was a spur of the moment
thing and we wanted to make sure we got the best information possible to
post to the group etc.
Just a thought.

Hey Adam,
It was a dissapointing day indeed. I went up to Mount Dandenong
for a look at the incoming squall however, there was nothing but very
strong winds and rain. There was a hint of thunder but it was very soft
and I was uncertain whether it was or not.

Lindsay,
Anthony Cornelius has put a lot of work into just what you described and when I
get my butt into gear, I'll be looking after it from now on. I'll email a copy of
the guide to you personally if you like.
Cheers,
Rosco.

Hey All,
Well as Matt mentioned earlier I headed towards Bowral at around 6pm, as
nothing seemed to be happening in Sydney but it looked like there was still
action to come down South. Got there at 8pm as the Sun was setting to see a
lovely multi cell system to the N of Goulburn, with some more stuff to the
North - North west of it.
Set up camp on top of Mt Gibralter (has some fantastic views from the S
across the W to the NE) .No Sooner than it became dark the lightning
activity lit up the hroizon cell moved NE, Didnt seem to have too many
features from what I could see but very frequent lightning activity provided
a good nights entertainment, along with Photos and Video.
At 10pm this system seemed to be dying with new areas developing to the
North of it. Basically headed for home (St Ives - Northern Sydney) just in
front of it the whole way. Encountered some Huge drops of rain near Camden
and then at the Toll Booths on the M5 near Bankstown (Very weird drove into
the toll - no rain, 10 seconds later drove out into a donpour of massive
drops, all in 15 seconds)
Watched the cell from St Ives at around 12pm(Pink on Radar)took some more
footage of the gust front and lightningm (mainly CC's), then the deluge hit
and that was the end of the night. Scored some nice flooding shots of the
oval also.
Thanks to Matt Smith who kept me updated the whole night with updates.

This has actually been done. In Queensland, we run a programme called
the "Damage Assessment Programme" - where people have volunteered
to be contacted by the DAP coordinator/BoM to assess damage, as the QLD
BoM doesn't have the resources to go out and assess damage/interview
people for assessing severe thunderstorm damage. It's been rather quiet
in the past few months, so it hasn't been given a full workout. But one
assessment proved that what was thought to be straight line wind damage,
was actually a tornado - so it's been fairly successful so far.
Queensland is the only ASWA state that is running something like this.
I'm not sure if other states will setup something similar though. If
you're interesting in setting up a NSW version of this, I'd be more then
happy to assist you in doing so, as it'd be great if something like this
would be ASWA/nation wide.

Certainly - a full interview sheet has been written up for this purpose.

Hi all,
It has been rumbling for the past 10 minutes with a large cell that shot up
very quickly to my west. I was in Lismore just 30 minutes before radar
showed anything and there was no sign of a storm through the think moisture
haze - just thinckeding altocu patches. Temp was about 34 but has dropped
slightly. The cell is now just to my west and taking on some nice features
with a with CGs observed already.

Looks like its starting to fire in Northern NSW and SE Qld
judging by the latest sat pics and radar. looks like a nice cell just west
of Ballina at the moment (3.00pm ) Here in Melbourne a couple of
drizzly showers this morning, and now Fine with scattered Strato Cu. It is
curently 17c here in Kilsyth Dew pt is 6c, highest to 3pm 18.2c. Next few days
down here, basically boring. Might have to go chasing again further afield if
this keeps up! Dane.

Hello Weatherites.....
Halden here from ABC Lismore. There has been a severe cell develop at Casino
and materialise at Coorabell 10km west of Byron Bay. Reports from Byron
Shire Council headquarters a few minutes ago are that large hail is falling,
and is piled up between half and one metre against the Council Chambers in
Mullumbimby. I have requested that a broadcaster break into the cricket to
warn people in the Ocean Shores/Brunswick Heads area of the storm. As I
write this they should be just about being trashed.
I am at Evans Head and copped the southern edge of a secondary cell to the
south. Only a few mm of rain here and a few rumblings.
Cheers Halden Boyd
More reports as they come in..

That cell is a MONSTER now!!! The crucial radar image is missing, but
it looks like that cell may have split. This cell has a HUGE area of
maximum intensity, both Grafton and Brisbane locals are picking it up!
And is moving to the left of the other cells.

Hello all....
I have been just speaking with John Arthur who is the head of the Brunswick
Valley Rescue Squad. The storm has just passed through Brunswick Heads/Ocean
Shores and it appears that it is dissapating. He reports marble sized hail
covering the ground to about 10-20cm. No destructive winds, however a strong
wind shift to the southwest when most of the hail fell. No reports of damage
in that area at this stage.
Looking at the radar there is another big cell NW of Casino...I will check
my contacts there
Cheers Halden

While I was travelling home from my squash grand-final with
a friend, we entered a severe rain event between Killarney
Heights and Lindfield at around 00:35 EST = 13:35 UTC. There
was lots of "green" CCs and CGs but no hail to report. Perhaps
hail was recorded further towards Hornsby near the core of the
intense rain. Any reports? I estimated at the time that the
precipitation rate was at least 80mm/hr. I recorded over 50mm
in total at my home in Lindfield in my makeshift rain guage.
Needless to say, the roads were almost undriveable, gutters
overflowing, flash flooding in a number of spots and a nice
waterfall in our backyard.
In looking at the radar archive, this storm was moving
towards just shy of a NE direction in a broad squall line
running NW/SE that intersected around Bowral at 11:20UTC,
then moved rapidly towards Hornsby equidistant between
Penrith and Bankstown at 13:00 UTC sustaining maximum
precipitation throughout a well-formed area. In an area
from Hornsby Heights to Chatswood just before 13:30 UTC,
the radar recorded precipitation of between 40-100mm/hr.
Precipitation had dropped to 10-20 mm/hr by the time the
storm crossed the coastline just south of Avalon at 13:50
UTC.
Although by no means a supercell, this storm seemed very
organised, with sustained intense precipitation in a tight
area over a long track from 11:20UTC to 13:50UTC.

Just been out for the past 40 mins checking the second cell that developed
near Casino and headed NE. From a few ks NW of my home a shelf cloud was
briefly visible before very heavy precipitation obscured it. Some nice
lowerings in the Wilson River valley further NW but these too quickly
became obscured. Very heavy rain at Mcleans Ridges but no hail or strong
winds. A couple of intense CGs occurred and must have hit near the media
centre in Lismore judging by the comments by the announcer on 2ZZZ !

I notice that the NSW STA was revised after 2:00pm to include Northern
Rivers, better late than never I suppose, and still no STA for SE QLD. We
will get ours a bit later in the day I think.
I notice that in fact all the cells currently in N NSW become left movers on
the local radar when they go red, yip yah.
Nice strong NE sea breeze here at Sumner, always a prerequisit for some
decent action.
When I left Mt. Crosby at noon, temp was nudging 34C - now that's what I
call summer, at last.

Here - 15 mm in 3 mins so far with rain continuing - Northern Suburbs
first hit and I followed it basically home.
With more action to come tonight - could be in for a decent fall at

Hi All,
I am at Stephens on the Gold Coast.
At about 4:45pm EST, the cricket on ABC radio was interupted to give
NSW-QLD border districts of SE Qld a STA for severe storms in 1-2 hours.
I could already hear the thunder, went outside to eyeball, say a pale-green
wall approaching from S-SW, saw neighbor washing car and told her to get
under cover.
By the time I got back inside, it started, huge rain drops, followed a
minute later by 1-2 cm hail, with the occasional golf-ball size hail
stones, strong gusty winds stripping leaves off the trees and blowing hail
onto the windows, seemed to come from S side, then E side, then N side, all
in about 5 minutes, then hail eased followed by torrential rains causing
local flooding - the garage got floooded out.
Over in about 10 minutes.
5 minutes later, the radio gaves a more specific warning for severe storms
on the Gold Coast S of Beenliegh - about 15 minutes too late!
Anyway, could be another cell on the way, can hear more thunder headed our
way, got to save items from garage flood.
Bye for now.
Carl.

Hey Paul!!
That low is looking better on every sat update!
The BoM think it could cause problems here early next week!
BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
WESTERN AUSTRALIAN REGIONAL OFFICE
TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK FOR NORTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA
Issued at 12:10pm WST on Friday the 10th of December 1999
For the area between LONGITUDES 110 - 129 EAST
Tropical Low off Kimberley coast
Location: near 10.5S 121.5E about 780 kilometres [420 nautical
miles]
northnorthwest of Derby and 820 kilometres [440 nautical
miles]
north of Broome.
Central Pressure :1004 hPa
Recent movement :almost stationary.
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
next 24 hours : Moderate
24-48 hours : High
48-72 hours : High
REMARKS -
A tropical low persists to the north of the Kimberley. It's position is
difficult to locate, so the position given above is accurate to within
120nm.
It is still expected to develop further over the next couple of days and has
high potential to form into the first tropical cyclone for the season.
In the longer term it is expected to move southward towards the WA coast and
poses a threat to coastal communities early next week.

And Low # 2 !
BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
WESTERN AUSTRALIAN REGIONAL OFFICE
TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK FOR THE CENTRAL INDIAN OCEAN
Issued at 12:32pm WST on Friday the 10th of December 1999
For the area between LONGITUDES 90 - 110 EAST
Tropical Low
Location : near 9S 96E
about 365 kilometres [200 nautical miles]
NNW of Cocos Islands.
Central Pressure : 1002 hPa
Recent movement : almost stationary
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
next 24 hours : moderate
24-48 hours : moderate
48-72 hours : moderate
REMARKS -
Weak low has formed out of a very active tropical convergence zone. Computer
models suggest only slow development of this system with a current trend for
movement to the south east.
** NOTE: Development potential is an estimate of the probability of
**
** tropical cyclone development within a 24 hour period.
**
** LOW = 10-20% MODERATE = 30-40% HIGH = 50% or more

Just spoken with Anthony C
He is seeing some great hail shafts now to his West - radar had 2 areas
of pink North / North East of Ipswhich. The Beaudesert / Gold Coast
storm has split with one part going directly north - and the other
heading east still with broad areas of red.

I spoke to Anthony and told him about damage to a school at Boonah,
powerlines/trees down, reports of houses being unroofed, large hail,
flooding etc etc ... will be very interesting to see this event unfold.
He had pulled over in light rain, had not encountered any hail and that the
storm had passed him, with some great lightning. He is doing a damage
assessment tomorrow. (he is going to a party now :)
