Still plenty of trough left. The pressure has dropped again in SA and deepest part of trough is now
back in SA. Port Augusta, Whyalla and Yorke peninsula 1006 hPascals
Just a quick look at the cold front on the updated synoptic and that line of storms appears to be on the cold front.
So we have two triggers. The cold front and the trough. Looks like the cold front will catch the trough quite easily tonight.
Will be interesting to see if any wind associated with this cold front change when the storm line hits land you can finally view some observations.
Most interesting. There must be plenty of cold air behind the cold front line as weather news on TV said snow on the alps on Monday.

LOL
Well in maldon we had a gentle change. No wind and white sky ( not dark storm cloud) and some nice moderate falls of rain for a short while.
I texted a young friend of mine in Cowes when l saw those red rain cores heading for Cowes to warn him of severe weather. He texted back and said " yeah l know its &^%$#$in crazy down here" Amazing ,considering the rain band hadn't hit there yet..
This next line of storms is looking more than interesting. Can't wait to see some obs when the line makes landfall.
The ww.gpats.com lightning tracker is showing that line as an extremely lightning active line. Just thick with lightning hits over a small area.
That must be the longest straightest line of thunderstorms l have seen.I'll take a snap soon . Just trying to estimate its length. Ceduna to west Tasmania

as the crow flys. Of course another trigger variable may be when the cold front reaches the warmer mainland . The mind boggles as how this may pan out??
