Thats great Ken. Thanks for posting. I guess it is true that a picture speak a thousand words!

I am still working through my "Weather for dummies" book, but would you say that in summary, the heat and strong wind change, on top of the very dry conditions is what is causing the Severe rating to the west and as the change pushes East (I think from looking at GFS this morning it will get to SE QLD by about 7pm), that by then SE QLD will be starting to cool down and that stops our conditions being as high?

I bet I am wrong though!
