From my observations over the last few years, the BoM has a generally
better record with Australian systems, probably because they are focussed
on the region, with local knowledge being an advantage, wheras JTWC is
spreading it's attention over a far greater area - generally doing a good
job with typhoons in the South China Sea - NW Pacific.
JTWC can be right on the mark with more organised systems, especially when
they threaten NW Cape or some of the US fleet are in the region.
You also need to note that the BoM specifies wind speeds in 10 minute
average while JTWC uses 1 minute average, which can appear to cause a
larger discrepancy between them than what actually exists.
At times JTWC will rate a system as a cyclone whilst the BoM calls it a
tropical low, and sometimes the BoM has a cyclone whilst JTWC rates it as a
low - these determinations are based on different sets of criterea making
direct comparision more of an academic excercise.
JTWC has a slightly lower wind speed as cyclone strength than the BoM,
however there are other factors such as the quadrant distribution of winds
and distance from the centre that also come into play in their overall
assessment.
Also, the BoM has a far better record with midget systems - cyclone Tracy
taught them some valuable lessons, and several of the miniture systems that
were so common last season were far better handled by the BoM than JTWC.
JTWC seems to consistantly under estimate the intensity of midgets by a
considerable amount wheras the BoM advice info is often remarkably accurate
when compared to actual measurements.
With larger more severe and well organised systems both BoM and JTWC are
often in reasonable agreement with each other allowing for the differences
in criterea, although here JTWC tends to underestimate the intensity a
little, as it uses cyclone forecasting models developed for Hurricanes
whereas the BoM seems to have tailored their forecasting models better for
Australian conditions.
Unless a system is well organised it can be quite difficult to give a
reasonably accurate estimation of actual intensity, and in any case it is
mostly just 'educated guesswork' unless direct measurements are recorded,
hence the wide discrepancies between the agencies with less intense systems.
Both agencies really do a commendable job most of the time.

In open ocean the most likely scenario is that instead of colliding two
cyclones will fujiwara around each other keeping a respectable distance
between them - this effect is seen frequently enough in pairs of typhoons
in the South China Sea - NW Pacific to have it's own name.
There was an example of something related to the fujiwara effect in the
Coral Sea last season - a very large large low pressure circulation
developed over most of the Coral Sea, over a few days a series of midget
tropical lows developed on it's periphery to the north near PNG, each
heading E into Fiji's area of responsibility where they were asigned
numbers, then turned SE then S towards New Caledonia, then SW across the
Coral Sea towards SE Qld, becoming more W then WNW before making landfall
on the central Qld coast.
Apparently, on rare occasions closer approaches have happened - it seems
that sometimes the storms cancel each other and both dissipate, and
sometimes one becomes dominent and rips the other apart and absorbs it,
with a period of weakening which may be followed by subsequent
re-intensification.
In this case, the one up near Darwin is embedded in a large area of monsoon
activity, wheras the NW WA one is more or less detached from the main
monsoonal activity, so the WA one is likely to weaken further and dissapate
into a rain depression as it moves inland in a day or so, and the Darwin
one is more likely to consolidate further and become a cyclone in a day or
so as it passes the Kimberley coast, and could intensify as it moves
through the Timor Sea.
The lads in Karratha reckon it's very hot there and at Port Hedland, so
there appears to be plenty of heat in the region which could indicate that
the Timor Sea is also warm and therefore suited to supporting a decent
cyclone over the next few days.

Just some distant thunder, like echoes through an
hourglass.. :-) Mind you, I went outside around 9ish and
got splatted by some very large heavy droplets. Not much
though and it was not solid enough to call it hail.
What about in the afternoon! Sheesh.... One minute I was
watching the cute little ducklings waddle towards the lake,
next I was running damned fast for cover (I suspect one can
not out run a lightning stroke). News says North Ryde got
some nasty hits and I can certainly vouch for that brilliant
piece of reporting work (not). We had blackouts and loss of
microwave link due to the heavy rain (no damned Internet to
check out the precip and lightning charts). No hail here
though. Very strong wind gusts at the onset (being an IT
person and not a weather person, I suspect from reading
the threads here and observing storms in general that pre-
storm gusts occur with all large storm cells).
Mind you, many students on campus doing exams. Many women
without umbrellas........... Work can be good sometimes :-)

Greetings,
Thank you for the notes of encouragement. I enjoy forecasting
convection for Australia.
Today's guess:
An upper-level trough is moving across SE AUS as part of a progressive pattern.
On the surface high dewpoints stretch from
Cunnamulla SE into Sydney underneath a progged axis of cool
air extending into E NSW. Lapse rates should be moderately steep
below the trough axis and are associated with high CAPE values,
particularly where the upper cold axis intersects the surface
moisture axis in SE NSW. If the model-forecast flow of 50+ knots at
500 hPa verifies, low-level easterlies near the sea breeze front lead to a
favourable shear profile for supercells and isolated tornadoes should be
possible N and NW of the Sydney area provided that the convection
remains reasonably isolated. With a dry intrusion overspreading NSW
from the W insolation should be adequate. I would check the
morning soundings for lapse rates and moisture depth, though.
BTW, I use the AVN at
http://sgi62.wwb.noaa.gov:8080/cgi-bin/disp_avn.sh
as my primary forecast model as (a) it performed well in some
cases that I looked at in the past in some detail, and
(b) it allows me to plot *a variety* of upper-level fields
such as H(500), winds(500) etc.
I would love to hear about sites that have the same flexibility
using the ECMWF or the MESO-LAPS model!!
Enjoy, Harald

Hi David
Good report! I was actually in Yeoval when the lights went out Thursday
about 1.30pm, and remained off for the rest of the afternoon. Storms
growling around, but nothing of significance. But in Orange, when I got
home, reports of hail, and 22mm of rain in the gauge. Must have been
very, very heavy rain through the day there.

If you look at http://www.bom.gov.au/products/reg/wwrp/wwrp_anal.shtml
the sydney cell is going almost the opposite direction to the low level
winds. It's a little beast!
Potential for here (Wollongong) out to the west aswell.

An STW is current for Sydney until 4:25pm and, interestingly, the severe advice out earlier for northern NSW has been replaced by one that covers both southern and central eastern NSW.
I rather like the look of the stuff just to the north of Sydney though. One cell tracking NE rapidly intensified from its genesis in northwestern Sydney to its current position west of Wyong (4:40UTC). As Harald indicated in his outlook, supercells are quite possible given the quite reasonable shear and this Wyong storm is looking good. Another intense cell tracking east through the lower hunter has split just east of Maitland, although the right mover (tracking SE) has weakened over the last scan (also 4:40 UTC).
Unfortunately I suspect all the chasers would have committed themselves to the north of the state.

The cold surge moving up over SE Australia is starting to bite..
Some notable 4pm temperatures on the first day of summer include
Cooma 08, Canberra 13 and Moruya 14.
The change came through just after lunchtime. Ahead of it were some
extremely vigourous congestus (which were very watchable)- some of which
turned into storms.
With DPs dropping close to zero, a few late season frosts are likely on the
Sthn tablelands/SW Slopes (including away from the Alpine areas).
Quite a change from just having experienced Canberra's record highest
average minimum for November!!

Hi David, yeh it's just grand ain't it. The main problem as I
read it is the low dew points inland of Brisbane. I am hoping that Cbs will
still form in the strip within about 50kms of the coast during the evening as
the trough moves further north. So Brisbane is still in with a chance of at
least small Cbs later on. Then again, saying that should scare them away for
sure.. Damien.

Someone stole our Brisbane thunderstorms. Radar shows

Hi all, 6pm, glenorie, sydney
Storms again developed this afternoon. First glimpses of congestus at
130pm driving home from work, some were reaching nice heights. It looked
like it was very cold air aloft, some died in the ass (mainly the ones
heading for here:), but others south took off, red blotches on radar. At 5pm
after watching everywhere else get hammered, a storm took off 10ks sw of
here and nailed us with 2 bouts of hailstorm, one lasting 3 mins and leaving
the lawn white, largest size was 2cm. It was real nice at 530pm, was
standing on the front step watching the dark sky, and then, clunk, a piece
of ice lands at my feet, i looked straight to my mate standing 10 metres
away, cause i thought he threw an ice cube at me, but then it just started
bucketing hail out of nowhere, 7 hailshowers in 2 days, 9 in 4 years!...
more to come by radar, i found it interesting that the 330pm 4cast was
'thundery shower' when at 328pm they issued large hail and heavy rain
warnings ?:),,, right now 2 storms both red intensity, one at hornsby moving
ne, one at bankstown moving se....

Hi Everyone,
I've just been listening on the Sydney airport channel and the winds there
are gusting up to 45 kts!!!!!! I am surprised the Bureau do not have a gale
warning out! Not only that, but I am surprised that earlier this afternoon
they cancelled the severe thunderstorm warning for Sydney only to re-issue
it a short time later. At least one Sydney radio station did not bother to
check for an update as a result and were broadcasting "The severe
thunderstorm warning for Sydney has been cancelled" when the new warning had
been current for at least half an hour. The Bureau really should not have a
"cancelled warning" bulletin when there is the potential for further storms
as was the case this afternoon as this just leads people to think that there
is no further risk...

We are experiencing quite high winds at present. In Chatswood a building is

There is a persistent hook echo on the Williantown local radar from 7:30pm
EDT on until around 8:00pm EDT - the storm is moving SE while the others
are moving NE - so it appears to be a severe right mover. I would not be
surprised if there is a tornado in this. The wind profile on this
afternoon's soundings would seem to favour severe right movers (a northern
hemisphere profile).

Hi Everyone,
Well what a great day its been. Coming home from work on the train I passed
through three seperate storms all of which had some fantastic CG's and
torrential rain. The only hail I came across was some really small stuff on
the Harbour Bridge. It didnt appear to be even pea size although I cant give
an accurate indication as I was in the train at the time. When I got home
the winds here in Blaxland were really howling. Must have been at least Gale
force as others have already mentioned. All up I received 10mm of rain today
almost all of which fell between 6 & 8PM. The current temp (8:32PM) is a
very chilly 12.7 degrees after a max today of 27.7 at 1:20PM. It seems the
main cause of the storms today was the passage of an intense cold pool of
air which really destabilised the atmosphere.
Matthew Piper

Just AFTER the BoM removed the north of the State from the severe
thunderstorm advice area (2.45pm), Ulmurra just NE of Grafton (northern
rivers) was hit by damaging winds and hail ! Though I'm not sure whether
we (Northern Rivers, Mid North Coast, Northern Tablelands) were just
forgotten because of the central area activity. There was no 'cancellation'
as such.
Anyway, severe weather hit near Grafton just before 3pm with roofing iron
blown off a building and hail from there to the coast at Wooli. Later, some
decent storms got going closer to me near Lismore. We had 13.8mm in under
10 minutes with all gutters overflowing and the ground awash. Some small
hail occurred and 30-35 knot NE outflow winds from the rear of the cell.
TDU2K chasers Matt Smith and Greg Browning dropped in this evening and
Michael Thompson and Jane ONeill were pursuing a cell near Murwillumbah.
Jimmy & Jeff are down at Grafton.

Yeah, pretty strong breeze (!!) going through Willoughby (which is not
surprising as it is the next suburb!! :-) ) As I look up, I note the high
level cloud is pretty much stationary, whereas
the lower level is moving like it's proverbial was on fire.
Paul ducked into to my office (after leaving his exam early cause
he heard a thunder clap - hmmmmmmmmmm ) and mentioned that there
is a strong lower level jet stream. I am starting to understand
the highly complex (and dynamic) nature of things so would I
be correct in assuming that it is possible to have many levels
of wind that move in different directions (even up to 180 degrees out of
phase) and speeds simultaneously?
It is just on 9:40pm and I am hearing a constant rumble (past
5 minutes!) I thought it was fireworks, but the last significant
warble sounded like a distinct thunder echo. Anyone else
noticing this? (Perhaps it is just fireworks). Radar seems like
everything is settling down though.
Have a good weekend all....
