Weak low central Vic 
  Hi all one of those upside down days with the maximum temp at midnight 6.7c and the min at 11am 3,2c, been hovering around 4c all day and no sleet but getting slushy rain, my wind direction has shifted to the southeast even the fractus drifting in from a southeast direction so suspect a weak low is developing over central Vic...The pressure steady at 1017hpa rather high but compared to the super high south of Perth 1047hpa its a dark pit. Still waiting for the coldest air to arrive tonight regards Clyve H... more »

Cold Outbreak later this week. 
  Progs have all firmed on a significant cold outbreak - Thursday/Friday - though its short lived and rather anticyclonic - so not likely to be that wet. Lasted Vic. forecast has snow to 800m. GFS and UK have thickness values down to near 526 over Melbourne Thursday night which usually means snow to near sea level. ECs a bit warmer at about 528.... more »

Cloud band QLD 
  Hi all.....Not a bad looking upper cloud band across inland Queensland, there's an upper low lurking near the Alice so the jet has strengthened across central and southeast QLD to bad the cloud band is mainly above 20.000 feet although I would expect some patchy rain, there's also a weak V/max appearing over central southern Vic generating a band of rain hopefully the cloud band will move across central Vic tonight with a slight chance of more sleet. presently 2.3c here in Trentham with reasonably well mixed air....regards Clyve H... more »

Super High. 
  Hi all rather staggered to see pending for the latter part of the coming week a bloody big super high south of Perth estimated to reach 1046hpa, bad for southern WA but good for us Vics with a good cold air field spreading over southeast Aust Thursday....Not sure what the records are for high pressure in the Australian region but 1046 will get pretty close to the highest pressures I have seen in the Australian region for a long time, I do recall a high pressure in the late 60's maybe reaching 1048 in the Australian Bight during August but cant recall the year...regards Clyve H... more »

Long cold showery spell in the SE of OZ 
  This cold damp spell in the SE is probably worth a thread... The flow over the SE is now slowly tending more SW as predicted and moistening up. Pressures are also dropping. The dp is up by 2-3C in the last 24 hours, and the cloud base has dropped a lot - eg around Melbourne's east its at just 400m ATM. This pattern should set up some... more »

Central ranges snow update... 
  Hi all....Some very odd reports re last nights snowstorm across the central ranges.....snow fell across the entire central ranges between 1800 and 0200hrs from a few flakes around Woodend (570m) 1cm at Trentham, however the oddest reports came from the southwest quadrant and southern slopes between 300 and 500M, a few locals claim snow depths around Newbury reached 5cm at midnight and there was still patchy snow at 1100hrs this morning, falls of between 5 and 10cm from Newbury to near Greendale and the area between Greendale and Myrniong had up to 5cm, there are unconfirmed reposts of 20cm between Ballarat and Gordon this area of snow resulted in the Western Hwy being closed last night and road workers called out to remove up to 10cm thick ice ! appears the deep snow compacted on the roadways, falls of between 5 and 10cm between Ballarat and Daylesford with snow reaching north of Creswick to near Clunes. Another odd occurrence were the low temps during the snowfall in some places reaching below 0c Sunday evening around Ballarat at altitudes of 400 to 500M, the lowest recorded here in Trentham was + 0.7c at 700M, appears a similar unusual temp trace appeared from the morning snowstorms east of Melbourne.....best regards Clyve H... more »

Very Wet Year Here: 
  Hey Folks: (11:46PM Sunday) Well, the rain we've received today (just over 2"/50+mm) assures that we'll end 2008 with above-normal rainfall. According to my records (back to 1984) this is the earliest-ever date (Aug. 10) in a year where the normal yearly rainfall (54.5"/1,384mm) has already been reached/exceeded.... more »
