Bit of a minor heads up guys some rapid cell development out west and more encouragingly near the iron triangle for us. Best cell is a nice stationary one on the foot of YP.

I hadn't looked at the weather in a couple days...had no idea we'd have anything nearby tonight. Glad you made this thread smile I'm liking the optimism SD!

Hoping Tim will be proved wrong grin

Those cells over the iron triangle i feel might scrape Adelaide, or they will fall to pieces like a new dog toy !

Fingers crossed smile I think they might pulse out before that though. Not quite enough staying power yet I don't think.

On second thought, that cell down on the boot of YP has been going for about an hour.

Have a look at the 300mb winds, jet max in excess of 115 knots by 10 00 pm, that is pretty damn impressive. I dont like the warm uppers though, really gonna limit any height and bases will be low. Might be hard to see any real clear lightning, if there is that much to start with. Basing this on GFS, havn't looked at other charts.

Ah figures with ur pessimism Tim lol.

I have liked today for many days but disliked the way GFS kept best instability sliding but ACCESS gives us storms and is still keen. EC even does. Sky visually is not bad, nice castellanus about with cu forming below.

TS cool

Not sure how the uppers are warm Markus? With the approaching upper trough temperatures are between -12 and -18 which is good for this time of year.

And Tim, when don't you have something on? Geez..

Im talking the 300mb level. http://forecasts.bsch.com.au/stormcast.h...mode=#stormcast

Looking at a sounding from the tip of Fleurieu Peninsula at 7.30pm http://soundings.bsch.au.com/skew-t.html...218&chart_mode=, mid level instability is very good, but then gets plateaued off rather quickly due to warm upper air at around 7km. 7km is still okay though
