Please take a look at our second Oz Cyclone chasers update.

In it we look at what the next fortnight has in store rainfall wise across Australia as well as the big interest area later in November in the far NE Coral Sea and SW Pacific. Models are pretty confident that this region will see a LOW pressure system develop but the prevailing steering at the time is likely to push it further away from Australia towards the South-East.

Well done again Nitso! It will be good to watch the Coral Sea low do its thing.

That was good Nitso.
Things are just going to improve from here on in. We will be watching both areas of instability in the coming weeks to see what happens.

I'd like to see something that will sparks a bit of interest in this forum, I'm sure that will happen soon enough. Early days so far.

Thanks Mick.

Latest GFS looks awesome in the extended period and is backed up well by EC ensemble forecasts. Direction still looks to be SE though with an upper trough over the CS and the LOW attached to the SPCZ :(

Would definitely like to chase a TC with you guys. Would rather go with people who have experience, so that I don't kill myself haha.

Hoping to go back to work in Port Hedland, so I might get that chance anyway lol.

Here's our latest update everyone:




Notes from the update:

  • This season continues to be neutral in terms of both ENSO and IOD indicators
    A very dry next few weeks for most of Queensland, and a very slow build up season for NE NT, The Pilbara and most other parts of Northern Oz.
    Tropical LOW development is possible near the Solomons in about 2 weeks. This LOW is not expected to deepen into a tropical cyclone at this early stage, however it is far too early to say this with much confidence.
    Should the LOW develop further, its most likely movement would keep it well away from the Queensland coast
    Our next update will be Tuesday night

    Welcome to our OCC Eclipse Eve update



    NOTES

  • Nocyclone development over Australian region over the next 2 weeks
  • Possible HIGH near China in about a week to 10 days may be strong enough to push a first bout ofNE trade winds across the equator and start our NW monsoon flow just for a couple of days towards the end of November
  • Good chance of significant Solomon Island troughing developing, but the chances for a LOW out there have decreased
  • Trough systems should bring a few days of storm potential to Eastern Australia and the storm season is firing over nw Australia as moisture streams in from the Indian Ocean and Timor Sea

  • THE ECLIPSE
  • Models show the tablelands near Atherton to be a no no as well as the high ranges south of Cairns
  • Best spot to view the eclipse tomorrow is west of Mareeba and towards Mt Molloy as well as the Gulf Country and Western Peninsula
  • Cairns city is expecting 25% + cloud cover so this may limit the viewing potential of the eclipse from Cairns

    OCC Video Outlook November 16



    NOTES FROM VIDEO
    Very active bout of weather over Indonesia, PNG and the Solomons to continue for the forseeable future.

    The development of two LOWS in the Northern Hemisphere has delayed any cross equatorial flow and is delaying the onset of the Southern hemisphere monsoon.

    No cyclone development likely until Mid December according to the broadscale pattern, but cyclones can form from small scale convection too so keep up to date with our next video on Tuesday night.
