NSW Upper Low – Rain Storms and Tornado : 14-21 January 2012

Publish on Facebook

We’ve had some intense rainfall today and were currently experiencing another burst right now. The upper trough/low is really producing some high rainfall rates around NSW. I noticed there were also some interesting storms out on the Central Tablelands and slopes yesterday. Love this kind of weather!

EDIT: A tornado was obseved by Greg Sorenson 20th January 2012

    The patterns have shifted and locked into East Coast onshore for the foreseeable future. A few rainfall totals approaching 100mm here in NE NSW though very patchy. A SWW for flash flooding was issued yesterday afternoon (15th) but cancelled this morning.  There is potential for heavy falls along parts of the coast depending on the position of the trough and if a coastal low forms.

    It would appear that the BoM has downgraded the potential for flooding now from this event and It remains to be seen what will transpire over the next few days with the presence of an inland surface trough and the models showing a return of a strengthening upper low.

    A nice cell has popped up south east of Goulburn and is heading north fast. It has a strong echo on radar and i can see knuckles on the back of the anvil from here! Wish I was down there.

    It’s now been severe warned and looks very nasty, big black core on it. Though it’s starting to lighten off a bit now

    The Bureau of Meteorology warns that, at 8:25 pm, severe thunderstorms were detected on weather radar near Wombeyan Caves and the Wombeyan Caves Road. These thunderstorms are moving towards the north. They are forecast to affect the area southwest of Yerranderie by 8:55 pm and the western parts of the Wollondilly Shire, the area west of Nattai and Yerranderie by 9:25 pm.

    Large hailstones, very heavy rainfall and possible flash flooding are likely.
