So what does this all mean for those less in the know, like myself? Will this effect Victoria? If so, how and when? What weather does this bring at the surface?
Hi Horts,
do you remember what happened to Frankston pier the other weekend? That was from a small stratospheric warming event over Antarctica - 3 weeks later. These events basically push the jetstream north (in wavy kinks) pulling the cold polar surface air with it (via fronts and surface lows).
"Will this effect Victoria? If so, how and when?"
It depends on where the northward kinks in the jetstream happen, and as to timing, 2- 3 weeks from now (with the current event)
"What weather does this bring at the surface?"
With the event that damaged the Frankston pier, as you know, 100k winds, rain and cold temps and snow to low levels.
The current warming event is unprecedented in its scale, but bare in mind that we are heading into a warmer time of year,
so I would expect serious winds and colder temps.
Hope that explains things. If you have further questions, send me a PM
JS and others, feel free to jump in
