CPN 'According to GFS on OceanViewWeather, they are going for a drop of rain on Tuesday.... What's everyone's thoughts on this?'


The troughing you see on tuesday is a continuation of this stalled trough we have been having over the past days. Except a high pressure cell has pushed the trough, tropical dip in isobars further north.

I think there is going to be something to talk about but looking at the GFS forecast you posted and comparing ACC r. I would say there is some dispute regarding position of the synoptic features. Which is going to be very important here.

But its that sort of divergence which often makes a days weather watching even more interesting.

The thread l made only goes up to tomorrow so it is up to you 'guys' where you want to continue. ?

Thanks for the news KEN on the ACCESS upgrade. I guess it had to happen sooner or later.
I will certainly know when the changeover happens because l watch the model closely as you know.

I do agree re ACC r weakness on coastal diagnosis on rain bands coming over the ranges.

I also have learnt that ACCESS is not configured for storm potential and just seems more attuned to lifted index convection.

I also am aware that ACC cannot accurately resolve mslp out at sea during big depressions and cyclones.

ACC g also shows higher rainfall potential than ACC r. So all in all it will be interesting to see how the new upgrade goes.

I think l remember MEGA saying he didn't like the GFS upgrade.So sill look on with interest

Nah all models are designed to simulate thunderstorm activity including ACCESS-R. Just that they do it in similar buy slightly different ways. ACCESS-R doesn’t use LI just to simulate convection. It, like most other models, uses physics and thermodynamics for that.
Also, the precip on the ACCESS charts on the Bureau’s website are heavily interpolated/smoothed so you sometimes won’t see the finer details.

Ok. Thanks for that.

Would l be right in saying models generally do better with stronger systems.Rather than marginal systems.?

1st and 2nd images above - If you're a glass half full person, you might find this possibility for some enhanced rainfall around the 2nd or 3rd week of October interesting. The probabilities are only a bit above 50/50 as far as above median rainfall goes though.

3rd image - The upcoming significant rise in max temps (Amberley is used for this particular example) showing up well in the members of the NCEP ensemble.

Thanks Ken.
Yes. The mainland interior is heating a lot. So its likely there will be some flow on so to speak.

Its is nice to see the chance of some rain increasing for October. It gives some hope for the alleviation of dryness.

Will be watching with interest.

Yes, I just say those too. A warm to hot long weekend ahead and then a very hot start to next week.
Luckily for me, the ground around here got absolutely saturated. Unfortunately places that missed out will suffer and I assume very high fire dangers again.

A cool and fine day with the temperature rising and falling in partly cloudy skies. Dew point have been near average and after falling during the morning the dew point have been stable. Near average relative humidity and rose and fell a few times today. E to SSE winds became E to NE from later in the afternoon and became calm tonight.

A rather hot long weekend ahead for Brissy by the looks of it with BOM forcasting 32 degrees on Sunday, 35 degrees on Monday and then followed by 36 degrees on Tuesday.

For areas that missed out the high totals of rain from the last trough event are going to get very high fire ratings again. Let's hope the wind stays away this time though.

Hi MegaMatch,
I was just looking at that and looking at the heat on Tuesday, followed by a cooler change.
BOM only have a small chance of rain, however GFS has a few showers around, impressive LI and good CAPE. Steering winds are from the W to NW.

Once again, I hope a knowledgeable person will come and help me before I make a fool of myself BigGrin
