The full run of obs for Wedding Cake are worth a look. Compared with
Observatory Hill, they give an interesting picture of the interplay
between seabreeze and hot N/NW stream and a fluctuating inversion.
For those that don't know, Wedding Cake is in the middle of Sydney
Harbour off Bradleys Head, about 5km east of Observatory Hill and
about 3.5km east of Fort Denison.

Disregard the battery voltage stuff on the right. 5.4 degrees of the
jump occurred in 7 mins to 8.37pm. Then a 5.5 deg drop in 19 mins to
9.49pm. Not often that temperature changes trigger a SPECI report from
AWS's, and two in just over an hour !!!
The Observatory Hill obs show some interesting variations:
66 METAR 0120 1830 ///00KT 27.6/20.5 Q0998.1 RF00.0/000.0
66 METAR 0120 1900 ///00KT 31.9/09.7 Q0998.2 RF00.0/000.0

66 METAR 0120 2300 ///00KT 29.8/11.9 Q1001.2 RF00.0/000.0
So, at 10pm it was 25.1 at Wedding Cake, with a 7kt easterly
reasserting itself, but 31.8 at Obs Hill in a dying westerly. There
was still a substantial discontinuity an hour later.
Wind is not measured at Obs Hill, but here are the Fort Denison winds:
66 METAR 0120 1800 08013KT ///////// ////// RF//////////

Assuming we can believe the obs, and I think we can, there's some
interesting mesoscale weather around the harbour tonight.

Hi All,
My max at Mt. Crosby was 39.0. We did not get the sea breeze, so at 6:00pm
it was still 37.0C. It is now a beautiful night outside under an almost
full moon and a comfortable 27.5C at midnight. My weather station suggests
an RH of 67%, but I don't really trust that, it is probably higher. Still
very warm in the upstairs rooms, furniture & floors warm to the touch, which
means the temp is still way up there in these rooms. Unfortunately, no
breeze to shift the air. Looks like another scorcher tomorrow, with an
official forecast of 38C for this area.
Toll so far: 5 young rainforest trees damaged, 2 severely. King fern
(Angiopteris evecta) surprisingly OK, but it won't take much more of this
sort of weather.
Side bar: Was sitting downstairs reading an hour or so ago, only to notice a
large cane toad bouncing around the living room picking off insects... I
had to pick it up to put outside - Yuck. Amazing how something can be
simultaneously dry, leathery and squishy.
John.

Hi Jonty, everyone..
Apparently we broke the record for the highest max in January today? The
max at the aiport was 39.1 - the previous highest being 38.1 in 1985.. i
got this information from someone at the BOM..
DP's were quite high in coastal parts today - Coolangatta had 32c and a
DP of 25c mid afternoon.. Brisbane airport also had a temp of 33c and a
DP of 24c around the same time (these are all weather underground
observations - they seem quite accurate)..
I also reached 38c in Redcliffe (official max) which is horribly hot for
me - normally i'm 2-3c under the Brisbane max temp, but NW or Westerly
winds stuck around for most of the day..

MJ and All:
What an incredible firestorm over so little. Perhaps part of this whole
thing is the culture of the internet and the 'feeling' of anonymity or
isolation. So much that has been said would probably never have been said
in a face to face discussion. There is so much to be said for civility and
kindness. This Les intends to stay here and to endeavor to get along with
all......as far as that is at all possible. In my opinion nothing is to be
gained by harsh words, 'flaming', insensitivity, or rudeness. In all this,
I took nothing, none of Andrew's comments in a personal way.
Having said all that, let me also say how very much I appreciate all the
very nice comments in support of both Les's participation in this list.
All I can do is speak for myself, but it has been a pleasure to make your
acquaintance, to 'know' all of you, and to participate here. You all have
treated me with respect and kindness throughout and have accepted me very
graciously.....even me, a Yank, no less!! [S]. Let's all try to treat
each other with no less than this same attitude in the future.
Again, thank you for all your kindness! And now, nough said......BACK TO
THE WEATHER AND THE BEAUTY AND MAJESTY OF STORMS!!!!!
Les

Despite being over a 1000km away the weather in the Illawarra was similar,
except we had seabreeze until 5pm when at last the hot westerly knocked it
seaward and temps went to 37C. On the bus ride home I went from hot offshore
to seabreeze about three times. In a similar situation to the airport this
was most noticeable crossing the Lake Illawarra entrance. On one side of the
bridge the hot west wind was rippling the water, 200m later and at the other
side the NE seabreeze was still rippling the water. The seabreeze was still
visible only 3-5km out to sea even at 8pm. This swinging to and fro of the
seabreeze is something I have noticed on several occasions. You can always
tell when a hot westerly is about to overtake the seabreeze as the air gets
a faint fog look at the barrier.

There are indeed two Wedding Cakes.
Wedding Cake Marker (or beacon) in located in Sydney Harbour as Laurier
noted. (It in fact looks like a Wedding Cake - to some).
Wedding Cake Island is off Coogee.

Ira,
That would be great. I would be rather interested to
see that info. I have some local newspaper clips
regarding the tornado that cut it's way through
Smithton in '92. There were some interesting things
that happened during that storm, like cows cut in half
by roofing iron......
There was a period where there was quite a bit of
"funnel" activity around NW tassie. That period was
around 1988 to 1992, but things have been very quite
since. I have observed a waterspout just off Devonport
in May '88, two funnel clouds in November '88, a
funnel cloud Feb 9th '89 and a mini tornado in 1990.
This period also includes the Smithton tornado. I
don't know if anyone else around Tassie has seen
anything after this period? I think there may have
been a funnel cloud observed around Hobart during the
xmas storms last year, but I'm not real sure about
that?

Hi All,
Interesting note Matt. Today looks like another hot one one for us. 7:30am
temp was 30.5C, RH 47% at Mt. Crosby. That's 2.5C warmer than the same time
yesterday. Min was 24.0C.
But the NW'ter not so strong this morming and also rather more W. So likely
an earlier sea breeze that should reach this far inland. Also a bit of high
cirrus around.
John.

Hi All.
Interesting to note that summer has finally hit for you "southerners".
While we regularly get 33c with DP's between 23 - 28, an interesting thing has
happened.
With the onset of your higher temps, it seems to have sparked the onset of
monsoonal activity. Overnight we went from a nice gusty storm after a beaut
blue sky day, to more overcast windy, wetter conditions. Exactly the same day
that the hot temps hit down South. Wonder if there is any correlation
there................. ?
Though its still about 28c with a Dp of 27 so its quite refreshing
really................32mm till 7.35am when I left for work.
Paul at Darwin.

That got you:-) And I bet a few of you would be
pleased and not miss my posts at all:-) But it is goodbye
for a few days anyway as I head down to the Aussie
high-country. Should be a bit cool in Perisher Valley
(1730m) also which is just right for pulling off a roof
to put extra beams in for the increased snow-load.
"Increased?" I hear you say...the authorities changed the
roof load spec because they discovered that Aussie snow
was heavier than all the rest and there was this snowfall
report... A lot of us knew about heavy Aussie snow for
years...So "...design for 3.5 tonnes per square metre..."
they said, but the builder made a bo-bo building a new
extension before winter 1999:-( 3.5 tonnes is a lot of
snow and it did happen from time-to-time! Now for the bad
news...I'll be back on Thursday, January 27.
In the meantime...Please keep up the great wx posts from
around our very little planet in "...this huge and expanding
Universe. Now when you're feeling so insecure, just remember
that there's bound to be intelligent life somewhere out
there, 'cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth..."
(I borrowed that from a song I heard recently). It seems
appropriate after reviewing the onset of list "bovine
excreta" recently...I'm totally guilty but it all goes to
make life very interesting and definently NOT boring.
Wouldn't quit "the list" for quids!

I wonder how many active storm systems have
started in West Australia, continued across southern Australia, and then onto
NZ, without losing strength. (including polar snow producing
southerly/southwesterly outbreaks)
I know of one such storm system. In late May
1994, Perth and environs were battered by westerly gales and heavy rain. The
westerly gales then lashed southeastern Australia, thought they were much drier
by now. Then, the trough crossed the Tasman to deliver a band of spectacular
(they occured at night) thunderstorms over much of the North
Island.
BTW, the heat affecting eastern Australia is
now baking Christchuch. It's now in the high twenties. (probably like a cool
summer's day in brisbane)

One of the more impressive hot spells in Brisbane for a while
(although I notice Brisbane Airport has dropped back from 35.0 at
0900 to 33.2 now). Certainly a marked contrast with November and
December! (Interestingly but almost certainly coincidentally, a
previous notably cool November and December, 1984, was also followed
by a mid-January heatwave in Brisbane).
None of the Bureau sites in Brisbane got over 40 (most seemed to be
either 39 or 40) - an evenness which is quite characteristic of
situations with strong offshore flow. I'd believe 41, but anyone in
the Brisbane area who got more than that should take a look at their
instrument exposure.
(It is very unusual for a locality to get a substantially higher
maximum temperature than surrounding locations. Local topography and
coastal exposure more often have the effect of making maximum
temperatures cooler than neighbours (because of hilltop locations
or proximity to water) and minimum temperatures cooler/warmer
(local topography)).

While not quite meeting the criteria above, TC-Vance last
April certainly survived as a low-pressure system for a
hell of a long way and crossed a lot of latitude also. It
started up in NW-WA, reached CAT5 as it spun through Shark
Bay then didn't waste any time racing across WA to emerge
somewhere to the W of Kangaroo Is in SA. Admittedly much
weaker in the higher latitudes, I'm pretty sure it got
caught up in the usual evolution of warm-cored lows in
that region and might have affected NZ. Archived MSL stuff
would reveal the full story as would satpics.

Michael - are you taking your ski gear?
This sentence was included in the BoM notes
for Victoria issued at 11.00 this morning.
"Snow showers are even possible over the higher
peaks of the Alpine area on Saturday night."
It's possible an odd white flake or two might
survive into NSW. Makes a good contrast with
more recent conditions in southern and
eastern Australia.
I notice at 0100z that Coolangatta AWS was
reporting a DEW POINT of 26!! with dry bulb
of 30 and Brisbane AP's DP 24 (with
DB of 34) - sure must be very HOT and very
STICKY.

Well...I'm almost ashamed to admit it but...I am a member of a
club/lodge in Perisher (Technology)...results of 20 years hard
labour in the work-force and my ski gear is located there
in a locker with other essential anti-freeze supplies that are
in need of stocking up...so it's no real problem but it might
make taking the roof off somewhat difficult.
On the snowy-wx side of things, I'm about to do another AVN/MRF
dump with my auto-READY-fetch script to pick up the 18Z AVN run
out to +72hrs. After hacking the results, I might post the forecast
to list for interests sake as this forecast exhibited considerable
skill during winter 1999.

Hi Jane,
I saw one of those. It was a dark, conical lowering underneath
some rain free Cu a few km to the SW of the CBD. It lasted about 3 minutes. I
must admit I was a little skeptical that it was a funnel because there were a
lot of scuddy lowerings around at the time. But if you say it touched down the
chances are it was. And me without my camera.... again! Bugger!
Cheers,
Pete.

Just came off the phone to Jane, she's storm chasing at the moment in
her "extended" lunch break She's just arrived at the beach while I
was talking to her, looking to her south (I think!) She had some more
information on the funnels - in the excitement of things, and from the
viewers perspective, it intially appeared that the funnel actually
touched down, but later reports have not yet confirmed this. If we get
anymore information, we'll post it to the list :)

Hi all,
The BoM have wisely issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the
widebay/burnett district. You can see the thunderstorms developing
quite rapidly on radar. CAPE ranges between 4000 and 6000 over most of
the district (including SE QLD).
The seabreeze influence has come in very early today (before 10am I
think), and it's been very humid, with DP's generally ranging around the
23-24 mark at the Brisbane AP. The cap is again very high, but some
more thunderstorms could possibly develop to our south later this
afternoon/this evening. We'll see what happens though!

Yes, you are quite correct.
I still cannot figure out the 44C reading taken at Victoria Park. But that
is what it logged. All our sites, except three, recorded below 40C.

Our two sites at the (Sunshine and Gold Coasts) are both in natural
depressions which blocks off most breezes. Can/how could this effect
maximums?

Hi Blair,
Yes I was quite pleased to see that in a day where temps were very uniform
across the entire metro area, my temp was spot on 39C along with just about
everywhere else. My thermo is mounted under the edge of sheltered South
facing timber deck about 1m off the ground in full shade (partially buried
amongst plants). Might not be a stephenson screen, but I feel more
confident about the readings now. From time to time it has diverged
markedly from what I would expect, particularly the minimums. Reading at
Mt. Crosby at 11:30am was 35.5C. Still no Sea Breeze yet at Sumner (closer
to the coast than Mt. Crosby) at 1:30am and while I can see storms building
in the distance to the North and South, basically still full sun and HOT.
John.

Hi All,
Well according to the dodgy decorative device the temp on the well shaded
balcony at Sumner at 3:30pm was 41C. (It read 39C yesterday, so I reckon it
is not far off the mark). It cerainly feels like it.

Hi All,
Truely awesome storm near the sunshine coast, it just produced an overshoot
on top of a second level anvil. It quickly glaciated into a small inverse
cone shape. Last time I saw that on top of a storm, it was tornadic (and
also on the Sunshine coast).

I liked what Lesley R. Lemon had to say about respect etc.
And along the lines of Lesley's "Internet Culture" thoughts, it can be
quite hard/misleading when we try to express things via electronic media
when there is no facial expressions, bodily gestures or even the sound
or tone of ones voice.
I don't know but perhaps we could enter into points of potential
conflict with phrases like;
"Hey, this is just my opinion..." ,
"I'd like to know what others think about this..."
"Hey, I'd value some input regarding the idea of..."
And also humour, (not humour masked as a personal attack) can be good
too when dealing with potential conflict situations. Perhaps even
setting time aside once a week to discuss points of
conflict/questioning, so they don't build up into tension etc? That way
folk know they will get a chance to air feelings and also so such
discussions don't clog up the group on a continual basis.
To name just a few ideas, anyway. What do others think of this? I'm
assisting in research with two mates of mine (at PHD level) on conflict
resolution specifically as it relates to men in various settings (no
offence intended to the women here, its just we are working with male
survivors of abuse) I'm learning a lot myself about the way I relate to
others etc. Anyway...just some thoughts that may or may not help.

Hi John,
You are right - there are some absolutely fantastic looking storms around
at the moment. Unfortunately (or fortunatley depending on your outlook),
there is just bugger all vertical shear anywhere. Plenty of CAPE, and you
can see that by the strength of the updrafts and the size of the
overshooting tops. There's no organisation to these storms though -
straight up and down in about 40 minutes. I guess you'd have to
describe them as high CAPE airmass thunderstorms. Probably would have been
an outrageous storm day if the wind profile had've been favourable.
Tomorrow shows little change at the moment - maybe with the trough a bit
closer there may be a little more organisation. I haven't had a
look at any latest model runs, but I believe the wind profile is
supposed to be similar tomorrow. Thoughts?
Cheers,
Jonty.

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com
Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com
Hi all!
I did a little storm chase in the bayside suburbs today, as a line of Cu
went up, and eventually formed a small Cb on the eastern edge. I also
saw some very impressive storms well to my north - as mentioned by a few
others.
The updrafts were quite 'violent' at times, rapidly boiling up into the
atmosphere, and producing a very crisp cumuli anvil when the anvils were
initially forming. Certainly not surprising given the 4000 or so +
CAPE. You could see them rising in the atmosphere!!
While I was travelling east of Old Cleveland Rd (skillfully dodging the
peak-shoulder-hour traffic), I noticed a fairly spectacular "clear air"
CG strike a tower about 10km in front of me (thunder was about 30
seconds after the CG), the CG came from the top of the anvil, about
10-15km from the base of the storm!!! I immediately pulled over onto
the side of the road to grab a photo, and some video footage - and while
you can't hear the thunder, you can hear me saying "THERE'S THE
THUNDER!!"
I continued east, to near Cleveland Pt, before I ran out of roads east
(unless I hired a boat!) Where I surprisingly heard nearly continuous
thunder for several minutes, before it started to weaken and produce
more infrequent thunder. After that, I left back for home.
Only a small chase, but fun - and hopefully just a taste of what is to
come!
I think Ben has gone chasing near the Sunshine Coast, will be
interesting to see what he reports back with!

Tomorrow's wind profile is similar tomorrow, but strengthening, I think
it gets around to 30kn or so around 300mb, which isn't bad given more
high CAPE's which are certainly looking probable again for tomorrow.
Better then 20kn's! The shear backs with height too, but I think the
worse thing will be that storms will move too slowly. I'm expecting
more thunderstorms tomorrow then today, with the cap finally weakening,
and as the N-NE flow dominates over the NW flow. Theta-E diagrams are
suggesting a similar scenario, with now major inversions present.
Sunday's wind profile appears to be reasonably good - backing with
height, and the maximum wind is 65kn at 150mb, 52kn at 300mb, 27kn at 500mb
- low level is a tad weak, but from my experience, HPS (high
precipitation supercells) may be the result of Sunday. Certainly Sunday
is looking to be a fairly good day so far!

Hi, everyone..
There were some awesome storms on the Sunshine coast today - i actually
ended up taking a drive up the coast with my sister, and managed to get
a few snaps here and there.. i will be uploading the pics and a report
later on this evening..
The tropopause was around 15.7km on the 00z Brisbane sounding - i saw a
storm on the Sunshine Coast before i left Redcliffe with a MASSIVE
overshoot - i estimated cloudtops would have been around 17km (maybe
more).. there was also another nice overshoot on a storm around the
Brisbane area (off the coast possibly) as we drove back from the coast,
which lasted for about 10 mins - i have pictures of it too..

Might have captured one of these funnels from the Melbourne webcam at this
time, folks certainly there's a prong visible in the image.
Storm chasing by webcam from the comfort of your own home giving Jane ONeill
radar data from the other side of the world, radar was showing single cell /
pulse storms in clumps and lines.
You have train chasers, now there's a webcam chaser but the Melb webcam is a
webcam and a half (:

Hi all,
Just curious in regards to what the temps taken at the Gold coast
were. Hopefully they are not as contrasting as Sydneys east and western
suburbs. Was the seabreeze constant there? What about the sea temp?
ANYONE..!

Hi everyone,
Well my computer is giving me a hard time and i can't add my pictures
from today to BSCH, but i have uploaded a small selection of pictures
for people to look at..
A couple of these pictures are on their side, but i can't fix them at
the moment (long story)..

I could easily pass the ummm.. thing in the following two pictures (left
hand side) as a funnel i think.. but it wasn't - bloody odd looking
though!
