Re: Victoria: Trough - showers/rain/storms - 6th-10th Novemb

Very warm to hot day and muggy up here,with storms exploding everywhere.Had 2 good cells over us already.Been a while since we've had some good storms.Radar is looking good for the next few hours so rainfall totals should get a good kick along.Has been very dry lately so this rain is welcome.

Re: VIC Fronts with rain & storms then showers: 26/9/-01/10

Had 47mm so far,much more than the AWS recorded.This difference happens a lot as i'm on the west side and the AWS is at the airport on the east side of Albury. Anyway the latest charts show the air with this next front to be a lot colder than progged.Will help with producing more severe thunderstorm...

Re: Looking towards substantial rainfall for SE Australia

Geez Droughtbreaker take a chill pill mate.The effects of the developing LA Nina won't be felt until at least November.Rainfall won't be as good as the last LA Nina episode as that was probably a once in a lifetime event but will still be above average.And can you refrain from bringing up the so cal...

Re: Series of Cold Fronts/Trough 29th July- 5th August

EC has been pretty weird for the last few days.GFS and AXS have been more realistic in IMO.GFS shows some pretty cold air with a developing ECL for the
weekend and early next week.Looks similar to the last decent system.

Re: Looking towards substantial rainfall for SE Australia

I'm tending to lean the other way with the possiblity of a moderate to strong La Nina coupled with a negative IOD developing late spring. IMO this could lead to a repeat of last summer/early autumns rain with floods in the usual places again.Could end up being worse than last year because most of th...

Re: Vic - Potential ECL Sunday 17th to 24th July

Some interesting contrasts in temperatures across the state atm: Bendigo - 13 degC Mildura - 6.8 degC Albury - 4 degC Frankston - 14 degC It's really indicating that some very warm air (for July) is being sucked in from the Tasman Sea under the ECL into central parts of Vic. I hope it goes away to ...

Geez talk about pessimism,it's not long ago we were getting month after month of record rain right across Vic.Anyway La Nina is asleep at the moment,but when it wakes up in early spring all hell will break loose.
