[quote=ColdFront] BoM finally acknowledged the second centre in the GoC that was clearly there yesterday but not marked on their charts. If convection and the lightning tracker are any indication this could end up a deeper system than the models are currently forecasting.

Windshear is ridiculous just to it's nth though at the moment.



Hi all - a brief de-cloak for a virgin post from Mount Isa, as I have a question: it appears to me that the GOC low, that was advancing quickly on the Cape late yesterday, seems to have regrouped further sw in the GOC overnight - does anyone else see this trend, or is it just that my low bandwidth is causing this to appear apparent...
I was interested to see the above post from ColdFront, about a second monsoon low not previously mentioned by BOM. We had a big storm come thru the Isa last night - not much rain in it though.... I will be watching with interest, as always...
Thanks all for your invaluable knowledge and info - keeps me glued to this forum - will now re-enter lurk mode

Nice to have you aboard. Don't lurk for too long as Mt Isa info is very interesting to us guys and gals on the coast.

Yesterday there was a ring of thunderstorms just to the east of where BoM have the low centred now so I doubt it has moved much at all in the past 16 hours or so.

Here's the shear map. BoM have the low centred pretty much over Mornington Island.

245mm for January - 247.8mm below average .

I do hope your staying locally CF, has been good having your input here mate!

340.5mm for the month here at Yorkeys Knob. Are we still going to get the rain they forecast? IF so, when?

378mm here at Stratford for January

Thanks Pac. We're only moving 2 kilometres. Just waiting for the contract to go unconditional. We're staying in White Rock, just in a better location.

Speaking of White Rock there is a nice scud building as it heads this way from the sth east. Keep coming baby!
