[@ryanwalter757]

[@darrylweidenhofer]

Hi Josh Mt Carbine 1pm 33c min 22c hum 62% partly cloudy stinking hot dry still 25mm of rain since April in one shower

[@emrobotics3635]

Brisbane storms were pretty wild! A tornado momentarily passed along the Brisbane River

[@cyclonesoz]

Didn't hear about that tornado but that sure was a storm! will check some news reports now

[@item6931]

News reports called it a gustnado because apparently its rotation was anticyclonic, but tornadoes can be anticyclonic too. Whatever it was it was pretty spectacular.

[@rosehill9537]

​@@cyclonesoz a water spout on the bris river some calling it a gustando.

[@JadedHunter]

Geomagnetic storm The current was going up instead of down. Using the right hand method to check the flow of charge. My missus picked up the anti rotation. Proud of my woman 😀

[@Cegielskitwins4life]

Ye I heard about it it was a gustornado I think I spelled it wrong 😂😂

[@lakelandlass1]

Better got every word.!!! Thankyou lovey.

[@johnmassey7760]

Can not see the print on the maps too small

[@cyclonesoz]

noted

[@evy-k6q]

tornado reported in brisbane was a gustnado but above it the supercell, right above the CBD was wrapping up and tightening and a brief funnel was there. was rotating basically all the way into Brisbane also. not surprised if tornadoes happened before brisbane, hook and rotation couplet was insane at times

[@item6931]

>not surprised if tornadoes happened before brisbane, If you look up Brisbane tornado 1973 you can see some grainy old vids of one - its path was over 50 km long which is pretty amazing. Wikipedia says it was Australia's most destructive tornado fwiw.

[@grahamfraser5938]

The storm that tore through Brisbane yesterday. A light breeze and light sprinkle of rain. No hail, no damage on the south side of Brisbane

[@sherbailey4068]

Hi Josh , hey kerry from blackout Sportsfishing in cairns said to say hello 👋

[@JackBloch-d5w]

Hi Josh, Windy is saying there might be a thunderstorm next Sunday for the Perth area. Do you think we might see some action?

[@cyclonesoz]

Possible, but I wouldn't get excited for it yet

[@JackBloch-d5w]

⁠@@cyclonesozok, thanks for the reply. Can’t wait for your next weather report 🤙

[@jasonpeisley6031]

That's waaaaayyyyyyy too far ahead to get excited, let alone being accurate for any model. I'd keep a eye on it, but bare in mind it could be a dud of a day...

[@SeeNoEvil777]

Only got a bit of rain in Beaudesert yesterday.

[@JacobPolley-g8r]

Hey, are you expecting any severe storms for the central coast of new south wales as the unstable air mass tends to head more south next week?

[@Bobby1WYT]

he had a very bad hail storm in brisbane. in south Brisbane i had abt 8-10cm hail

[@calibnennas7140]

Any severe weather outlook for this month, November and December are generally peak severe weather here in Port Stephens NSW

[@R420-h3z]

Eidsvold pronounced Eye ds vold. Love your work mate, jeez Gladdy could use a storm!

[@JadedHunter]

[@8marcrara11]

[@Cegielskitwins4life]

Hi I’m in Gold Coast btw when is that happening

[@dianestevens2659]

Hoping Emerald gets decent rain, so dry

[@coolhandluke1503]

Does air with higher J/kg burn better?

[@cyclonesoz]

Air doesn't burn, the j/kg is just a basic description of how unstable the airmass is, if you like.

[@item6931]

J/kg makes me think that you are referring to "CAPE". Basically CAPE is used as a measure of the potential or driving force for a thunderstorm to form, if it can break a cap like a temperature inversion. I look at it like a chimney: if a surface air mass can break a cap, then a chimney to upper air masses is created, and air moving up through the chimney will be faster and more powerful with increasing CAPE values, so more powerful storms. Tornado alley in the U.S. can get absolutely insane CAPE values (though that's not the only reason they get so many powerful tornadoes there).

[@PeterMcInnes-ti8ou]

Willy willy not a tornado

[@item6931]

Was definitely not a willy willy. Not the conditions for willy willys to form and willy willys don't rip up large gum trees lol

[@evy-k6q]

cells firing up around taroom, slow moving. might start moving once they hit the upper level wind shear
