Models are becoming really hostile now.....I love it when the monsoon arrives
Bamboozles everyone and every model hours at a time. There is dynamite in every last model run but for different reasons. Currently all have a very warm to hot lead up...then I see the following across Vic.
CMC = Explosive line of storms early Dec 27th followed in by a tropical fed water bomb on Dec 27th 100+mm
GFS = Decent Heat wave from Dec 23rd then a stormy change on Dec 27th. 5 to 15mm
Access = Moderate heat wave with a stormy rain band change Dec 27th. 30 to 60mm
EC = Moderate heat wave then a stormy rain band Dec 27th. 10 to 40mm.
But watch it all change if the monsoonal lows change their minds.....which they normally do! Looking at the latest on the low's, the Indian ocean low is now showing signs of cyclogenesis. Dropped to 1003 hPa, has a small eye and 60 km/h surface winds on the northern flank. 2nd low near Darwin is starting to deepen slowly at 1004 hPa. Some models have them merging in the next 2 days.

GFS changes it mind on the southerly affecting coastal victoria every run but the last run looks hot for some southern areas at chrissy. BoM's forecast will be interesting later.
