Havent looked "out there" for several days, been too busy. The BOM have advised of a warm outbreak mid next week. Is there a change of a stormy change at the end of the week????

... and maybe the break of the sunny period at the end of this week might leave Vic troughy right through to Tuesday week???

Just looked at the latest AccG, it seems to think that the troughy period we are about to enter later tomorrow might hang around for ages (well 7 days) and finish it all off with a "bang" courtesy of a cut off low spawned from a cold aired LWT that passes by close enough to leave a "knot" behind amongst the lingering humidity.

There IS weather for Vic to keep us keen for a week! Bring it on.

[edit] - by the way heres AccG's progs for rain for 24 hrs near this time next week (and the day later even more from Bairnsdale E'wards).....

I agree with you Petros.
It will be an interesting next 7 days, starting from tomorrow night?
Watching that cloud coming through from the west looks quite volatile - goody

Its hard to discern the end of this present weather event - the moisture available to Vic looks to persist for another week if I'm reading things right. Like me, the models are all over the shop. With the brushing of the LWT passing below us later next week we could either end up with:

1. A new high pressure system finally battling its way over us by end of next week clearing all this out
2. A cut-off low born from the next LWT passing circa Thurs
3. An Easterly dip situation... a general large scale inland low system over inland E Aus.

Dont ask me! - I'll just go by "where theres smoke theres fire" (the betting side of me puts 2 bob on the Easterly dip .

Its gotten moist outside here in Vic right now and I cant see it going away real fast.

EC is progging me 27mm over late next weekend - not supported by AccG/R, CMC or GFS - has anyone else got progs like this in Vic??

The BOM on ABC radio yesterday said change arriving to west Vic on friday and passing state on saturday.The BOM wind forecast map indicates a developing embryonioc ECL on the sunday night on the far east coast of Vic. In the past this set up of ECL development has seen Vic with an arching jetstream over VIC and some rain. I would agree with EC and your rainfall forecast petros.
http://www.wunderground.com/global/Region/AU/2xJetStream.html
The arch on the jetstream is not in view yet.

AccG's latest run shows the chance of Vic being in a troughline Wed/Thurs next week. More storms to follow up what we get on Fri-Sun this weekend in Vic?

The main thing to me is the continuance of moist air supply in Aust mid inland SE that should take much to draw back down onto us again circa mid next week.

Petros.Any chance you could post the AccG diagram for your above post. Would be good to follow and look back after the event. Good to look back and see their performance.
I noticed the ACCESS G forecast you posted above is only one day out.( early).Will be interesting to see fridays rain totals and compare.
EDIT. No ECL on sunday with the Wind forecast update but a small low on the S/west coast of vic embeded in trough on Saturday .

Heres GFS as it has morphed a couple of iteration later Crikey....

The trough between the 2 high centres looks less likely, it looking like the centres of this double-yolker might merge. Fast looming into the postable range for a new thread (be it warm sunny days OR troughy stormy days ).

[edit] - sorry Crikey, just realised that what you meant was post the "early-thus-inaccurate" chart that we are commenting on at that time. Noted.

THe GFS 148hr forecast for next thursday the 3rd November( 6 days out) you posted above petros has some interesting features to 'toy with'.
Looks like we are assured of a nice big high pressure cell approximating from next monday to the following weekend of the saturday the 5th november( thats 6 days of high pressure or there abouts) then next trough approachesVIC (another long trough extending across from southern OZ right up the equatorial region once again.)
The next trough has similar features to this one in that a low is forming off the S/west coast of WA and moves across OZ .
And so you would expect a similar scenario to now in that a broad trough brings thunderstorms and rain to the interior once again and we in Vic are likely to get a repeat of this weekend in the future around about the Saturday 5th November.
For Queensland the northwest/s/east trough line pattern continues and so more of the same for Queensland.
Synoptically speaking it looks more of the same .The pattern of long broad troughs in between quite large highs.
Looks like a bit of some hotter temps dipping down into the NT around next Thursday as well.Anyway l like the idea of some fairly regular rain/showers for VIC atm.My garden is dry and we are under the mean here atm

Looks like any significant wetness from the next event will be Sunday night-Tues across Vic??

I am looking forward to the next system with the hope that some significant rain may come from it. So even though I may not comment I am reading this thread with great interest.

GFS and AccG show sultry air to again be drawn into Vic from the N & NW early/mid next week due to a lazy departure of the high system building now (read blocking low E of NZ if I'm right).

This moisture looks to be upset by a passing LWT licking us early next week allowing the chance of storms, coldness or even a cut-off low.

If someone wants to start a thread for this, I'll post a chart or two as they prognose 5-6 days out.

As usual, the last system this past weekend was another example of "where theres smoke, there'll be fire" for models sniffing things "out there".

Mods.... - whats wrong with a one hour edit time (or more)?

GFS shows the arrival of the above-mentioned moisture midday next Monday and a cold air mass gathering in the bight, looking set to arrive into Vic Tues/Wed to stir things up somewhat.

"Out there" for next Wed acc to GFS.....

Could one brave Victorian please start a thread to discuss this potential event, next Sunday is now in the "allowable zone" for the purists.

Going back 2 post to next Monday (well inside the allowable thread creation range for most), it now looks like Monday will provide a good opening burst to the weather to follow during the week. It should be an interesting week and involve storms, just wish others would comment or start a dedicated thread for this.
Hers GFS's take on next Monday - other models do disagree....

Hi Petros. Just had a brief look at the BOM wind forecast map for this period .There is one thing l can say. The wind map indicates a period of what l could say somewhat erratic wind flow patterns. in other words not very neat.
Over Vic the wind flow seems to vary from day to day . Sometimes a .low pressure flow and then anti-clockwise flow.It would seem the highs and trough do a bit of volleying for position in and around VIC ? which would make outcomes a little difficult l would have thought. If that were to pan out it could ? limit the precipitation potential .
The GFS model( wednesday 9th NOV)) above has some heavy rainfall at barom pressure of 1008 and 1012. I didn't feel comfortable with that.Also the s/west flow which rarely gives us in the north some heavy falls l am sure? It looks as though it is relying on a moisture laden North west infeed passing over Vic. Look forward to how it pans out.
One thing l do like is the strong equatorial in-feed into the the mid-latitude belt of the southern hemisphere at the moment as seen on met office world satellite imagery.
If anythings going to make me optimistic for some more good rainfalls l would say the southern hemisphere sat pic looks very promising this week at least

Yep Crikey, the the strong equatorial in-feed remains the key to the ammount of rain Vic may get mid/late next week. Still looks "on" from my take on things.

Hope I'm not upsetting the purists too much but heres something to stir the blood...
