It got to 33 here and humidity down to 16% this afternoon. The wind has died off somewhat now though, although I did receive the SMS from the council for strong wind warning.

Luckily no fires around here, so all good.

TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST

Severe Weather Warning
for DAMAGING WINDS
For people in parts of Southeast Coast Forecast District.

Issued at 5:36 pm Friday, 6 September 2019.

Damaging downslope winds possible about the southern ranges overnight.

Plan Image
Weather Situation:
A cold front is moving rapidly east across southern Queensland, and is expected to reach the coast at around midnight. Vigorous westerly wind flow is expected to develop over the ranges following the passage of this front, and this may lead to damaging winds developing over the eastern slopes and foothills of the ranges.

Damaging winds, with peak gusts around 90 to 100 km/h may develop from late this evening and into early Saturday morning.

Further west, strong winds are continuing over the Maranoa and Darling Downs, however damaging wind gusts are no longer expected over these areas and the warning is cancelled.

Great graphs Falking_droplet, Thanks for sharing.

It is a windy, smokey and dusty start to the day here in Ocean View.


I think most of it is smoke from the fires near Woodford yesterday afternoon and it blew in on the NW wind over night. Currently a W went after the change at around midnight.

Here is a picture l took this morning from the tweed river at Chinderah pointing towards Mount Warning of which youncan see .,NONE.
Gold coast Bulletin headlines this morning about the fire in Canungra.

Hi Crikey, most of the haze is basically dust. The sat. pictures shows it is a massive cloud of dust being swept from the west. This is very similar to to what happen in 2009 until the big one hit.

And here she is zoomed out, showing the low pressure system in the Tasman, which is helping to fan the flames.

No worries Satman and crikey :)

Some spectacular footage came in a short time ago of a supervision aircraft followed closely by the firefighting 737 dumping retardant on the fires in the Applethorpe area - will be a welcome sight for them. Similar scenes have been played out in Tenterfield as well:
