another 6.8mm from the front last night
after that things will fine up rapidly with the godzilla ridge
from hell moving in for the duration with a possible front
between highs around next weekend.
models have the'possible front' on the weekend as something
a bit more substantial early to mid next week now. couple of
quite interesting progs from access and gfs, different from
each other but both quite droolable in their own right.
access has your bog standard garden variaty cold front but
the real rabbit out of the hat will be the retrograde
cyclogenesis and cut off cold pool pushing against and
overcoming an incoming ridge from the west. i'll believe
that when it happens and if it does it will certainly be
one for the books or at least its own thread.
gfs on the other hand has an already formed low bubbling
up from the deep south under w.a. against an incoming ridge
then heading west through the bight to t-bone us, the best
part of this one is as it gets to us it is progged to hook
up with a moisture infeed from the north coming down through
eastern n.t./western qld. if it does happen we should do
pretty well depending on the timing of the moisture hook up
but as usual with these setups the eastern states always do
much better.
all pie in the sky at the moment but at least something
interesting to watch and comment on rather than anticyclonoic
gloom and frosty mornings.
