Good luck today 'guys' with any amount of rain and storms  The majority of models have to parameterise (approximate) convection such as showers and thunderstorms but a few explicitly model individual convection such as ACCESS-C, HRRR (used in the US), etc and you can often see individual showers and storms in such models (see above example for 1hr accumulations from onshore showers in ACCESS-C) as well as convective features such as MCS's. You can also often see outflow boundaries from storms in EC due to its high resolution (about 9km).

A Fabulous insight into the diagnosis of storm potential Colmait. What a treat on the forum this morning. I will look with interest today.
Only a few mm on the Gold Coast last night. In a few hours all signs of dampness will be gone. The foreshore grassed area on the coast is very dry and brown.
Mount Tamborine on the ranges had 6mm . Fire affected Canungra had 7mm. So that has to be good news from this troughing.
Lots of clear sky ahead of this potential event this afternoon here on the Gold coast. Good for convection in these circumstances l believe.
Thanks for your expert response KEN. Great stuff.

Just amazing what the models can achieve. Truly enlightening.  Thanks for that information

5.5mm yesterday and overnight here. About the same in the official gauge. We managed to avoid our driest September on record. Overall temps this month are near or slightly above average. Overall, a nice month temperature-wise.

Just had a look at the Brisbane Sounding, Moree is coming back up for me now too, it kept saying no sounding available for a few days in a row, and had a look at Charleville. They show a small chance of a storm. It has a few things making it a little harder to fire off but I will be keeping an eye on the radar. A little better than stormcast showed this morning. I am going out on a gut feeling, but not expecting much, it could easily fold. There is a little bit more moisture than the forecast soundings had. We could see a rumble or 2. Just with Brisbane there is not a lot of instability and a bit of capping but with the afternoon seabreeze it just might cause a few to pop up. Out west there is a bit more of chance. Still working on the big post. Doing it up on word so hopefully I can post it easily. Edited by user Friday, 27 September 2019 12:15:51 PM(UTC)

Hi Ken, Is EC data publicly available or is it restricted commercial data?

There are a couple of small blobs starting to show up on the Brisbane radar and moving due east.

Interesting and educational stuff going on here as well as good reading. So good on ya all Comparing the synoptic and the cloud convection on the satellite picture.I have marked in green my interpretation of where another trough line is. The NW/SE line in SEQ and a line of cloud running N/S out west of the divide in NSW. On the national radar you can see the cumulus speckles emerging quite clearly in the QLD interior. Good luck with your chasing colmait.

Hi Ken, Is EC data publicly available or is it restricted commercial data? Many of more of its parameters are publicly available through 3rd party websites than they used to be. For example, windy.com or the Windy app will show EC data by default (unless you choose another applicable model for your region) with lots of parameters. Same with weather.us and some others. Some parameters are still only available through user pays websites or internally to national weather agencies though.

Just enough to settle the dust and a tiny bit to soak in.

A storm cell about to go over Harrietville and on towards Coomera perhaps. There appears to be a general growth in activity in the region generally .http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR663.loop.shtmlThe WZ storm map is showing some 200hpa moisture stream pushing in behind those storms. Sourced from the Indian ocean.
That will either give them a boost, or shear their tops off? Edited by user Friday, 27 September 2019 3:53:35 PM(UTC)

Interestingly for late tonight/overnight/early Sat morning, some models have been suggesting the possibility of additional activity sweeping across parts of SEQ but whether or not this occurs partly depends on what happens before then i.e. it's a realistic possibility if there isn't too much activity later this afternoon/early evening before then to stabilise the atmosphere and passing cold air aloft helps with instability..... on the other hand, if too much activity occurs before then, it may stabilise the atmosphere too much for it to occur. Overnight activity is historically pretty hard to forecast for. Saturday's also looks to me like one of those setups which is also historically very hard to forecast for because it partly depends the amount of any cloud cover and early activity during the daylight hours.... as well as a question mark over the amount of moisture left later in the day with a westerly flow invading much of the atmosphere (models currently still suggest some activity redeveloping later in the day though). Once again, total rainfall amounts look pretty modest again not surprisingly. ACCESS-C: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...Fns&feature=youtu.be

Thank you for the information Ken. So far this afternoon everything seems to be south of Brisbane with a cell approaching Archerfield quite nicely. We had a tiny shower up here in Cabo, but only enough to dampen the dust. Fingers crossed for tonight.

I been looking for some working cams in the Brisbane region and struggled to find working ones that aren't road traffic. I see a storm heading for Brisbane on the radar . The best l could do was this snap from the Archerfield aero showing what l think is part of the rain shaft of the storm heading for Brisbane. I think the high rise in Brisbane should get some good views of the storm skirting past https://weathercams.airs...port=archerfield-airport

Regarding overnight activity that Ken has mentioned.
ACC r has medium precip' signal around midnight. A NW/SE band that runs from about Charlevi'le through Roma and Gympie.
A surface trough line
The rain signal looks north of Brisbane of l have my latitude and towns correct.Looks a bit more sunshine coast , hinterlands and west of sunshine coast hinterlands.
Contracts NE towards Rockhampton in the early hours of tomorrow morning

Just started raining here in Kingaroy, we'll see how this goes.
At least it's relaxing.

Great stuff Kazza. I guess you have possibly forgotten what the sound of rain on the roof sounds like. It has been a while since a good drop up where you are!
