DAY 2 THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 12:25 pm Sunday, 10 January 2016,
Valid from midnight tonight until midnight on Monday, 11 January 2016.
There is good chance of thunderstorms over Gippsland and the Gippsland ranges during Monday
afternoon, if temperatures reach their forecast maxima and dewpoints remain high. There is also a slight
chance of high-based thunderstorms over the Wimmera and Southwest districts, which could introduce
the risk of damaging convective gusts if they eventuate.

THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 11:51 am Monday, 11 January 2016,
Valid until midnight on Monday, 11 January 2016.
High based thunderstorms are already occurring over southwestern Victoria with more activity just to the
west of the State. Damaging wind gusts are a risk with thunderstorms, particularly across western and
northwestern areas of the State. The risk of thunderstorms also extends further east as an upper level
trough enters western Victoria. There is also the risk of surface based thunderstorms across eastern
districts during the afternoon, mainly about the Gippsland ranges.

DAY 2 THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 1:08 pm Monday, 11 January 2016,
Valid from midnight tonight until midnight on Tuesday, 12 January 2016.
High based thunderstorms are a risk across much of the State during the early hours of Tuesday, with the
risk contracting east by dawn and easing by mid morning. Storms are again possible across the eastern
ranges during Tuesday afternoon. Any thunderstorms that do occur are not expected to be severe.

THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 11:08 am Tuesday, 12 January 2016,
Valid until midnight on Tuesday, 12 January 2016.
There is a very slight risk (less than 10% chance) of thunderstorms developing about the far northeastern
ranges this afternoon. If storms were to develop they may result in gusty winds but are unlikely to be
severe.

DAY 2 THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 12:50 pm Tuesday, 12 January 2016,
Valid from midnight tonight until midnight on Wednesday, 13 January 2016.
Very hot conditions across Victoria tomorrow will generate instability across the State. Thunderstorms
are possible from late morning in the west, with the risk extending to central and eastern areas during the
afternoon. The more likely area for thunderstorm development is over the southwest where instability is
greatest. Strong winds above the surface combined with the hot conditions mean that any storms that do
develop have the potential to result in damaging wind gusts. Storms will be high-based and will likely
have little, if any, rainfall associated.

THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 12:01 pm Wednesday, 13 January 2016,
Valid until midnight on Wednesday, 13 January 2016.
Very hot conditions will create unstable conditions across Victoria today, leading to a risk of high-based
shower and thunderstorm activity. Thunderstorms are considered most likely about western Victoria
during the afternoon and evening as a cool change moves through the area, providing a focus for storm
initiation. Strong winds in the mid-levels combined with the very hot conditions means that storms will
likely produce gusty winds with damaging gusts to around 100km/h possible. Little if any rainfall is
expected with showers/storms.

DAY 2 THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 12:31 pm Wednesday, 13 January 2016,
Valid from midnight tonight until midnight on Thursday, 14 January 2016.
Thunderstorms are a risk over the northeast from midnight as storms continue to track eastwards with a
cool change. This storm risk should clear by dawn. A new risk of mid-level storms develops around dawn
in a line extending from the northwest towards the central district. This risk area moves eastward into
central areas during the morning and clears by afternoon.

THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 10:39 am Thursday, 14 January 2016,
Valid until midnight on Thursday, 14 January 2016.
There has been a history of thunderstorms along a band of rain across northern and eastern Victoria. Mid
based storms are possible with and east of this band but the band is expected to contract eastwards during
today. Only in the far northeast is there a risk of surface based storms and a slight risk of severe
thunderstorms. This risk should decrease from mid afternoon as cooler southwesterly winds spread
throughout.

DAY 2 THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 11:59 am Tuesday, 19 January 2016,
Valid from midnight tonight until midnight on Wednesday, 20 January 2016.
Slight chance of mid level based thunderstorms over southwestern and central areas in the morning then a
chance of surface based thunderstorms in the afternoon both over the eastern highlands focussed on the
Gippsland side of the divide and also in the northwest of the State. While severe thunderstorms are
unlikely there is increasing moisture so heavy rainfall is a slight chance.

THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 12:24 pm Wednesday, 20 January 2016,
Valid until midnight on Wednesday, 20 January 2016.
A broad upper ridge will develop over the State in the wake of a band of rain which is moving to the east.
A surface trough in the south will extend slowly inland during the day while a weaker trough over eastern
parts of the Mallee and Wimmera moves slowly to the east. Higher surface temperature and humidity near
and to the northwest of the surface troughs will result in mild instability during the afternoon and early
evening, hence thunderstorms are considered to be a chance in that area. Any thunderstorms which
develop today will move steadily to the east under the influence of moderate westerly steering winds.
Severe thunderstorms are considered unlikely although any storms which develop will produce gusty
winds, with only a very small chance that these winds reach the damaging wind threshold.

DAY 2 THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 2:11 pm Wednesday, 20 January 2016,
Valid from midnight tonight until midnight on Thursday, 21 January 2016.
There is a slight risk of surface based thunderstorms over the ranges in Gippsland and adjacent parts in
the afternoon and early evening due to sea breeze convergence in the area and high surface humidity.
There is a slight risk of mid-level thunderstorms over the far southwest of the State during the late
evening as an upper level jet approaches the area. The risk of severe thunderstorms is considered to be
negligible.

Valid until midnight on Thursday, 21 January 2016.
A risk of surface based pulse thunderstorms across the north of the state this afternoon. There is also a
risk of mid-level thunderstorms over the west during the evening as an upper jet approaches, however the
risk of severe thunderstorms is negligible.

DAY 2 THUNDERSTORM FORECAST
Issued at 11:51 am Thursday, 21 January 2016,
Valid from midnight tonight until midnight on Friday, 22 January 2016.
Unstable conditions will affect the State on Friday with pulse thunderstorms likely over most of Victoria,
reducing to a chance near East Gippsland. Initially thunderstorms should be in the northeast and the
southwest due to mid-level instability, however a surface trough moving eastwards across Victoria and
day-time heating will then create favourable conditions across the remainder of the State from around
midday to early afternoon; however east Gippsland may be slightly less likely to experience storms as the
trough isn't expected to reach them until the evening when surface heating will no longer be applicable. It
is expected to be very humid, particularly in northern and central parts, and as a result heavy rainfall/flash
flooding and even large hail may be possible with any storms that form. In addition, winds above the
surface are strong (particularly in the southwest and central areas) so there may be damaging wind gusts
with potential storms. Wind shear is low/marginal for organised systems, so at this stage (as mentioned
above) pulse storms are most likely. Storms should gradually clear from the west of the State during the
afternoon/evening behind the trough as the atmosphere dries and stabilises.

Victoria
At 2312 EDT on Saturday, 12 December 2015
Wind and FDI elements in BOLD are 10 minute averages.
Wind and FDI elements in italics are averaged over less than 10 minutes. Consequently FDI values in italics should not be used in comparison with FDI
values based on a 10 minute averaging period.
GFDI observations are only available for the 25 point forecast locations within the Fire Weather Forecast. This is because the curing values here are drawn from that product and are therefore not available for other AWS locations.

FIRE WEATHER BULLETIN
Bureau of Meteorology
Victoria
At 2312 EDT on Sunday, 13 December 2015
Wind and FDI elements in BOLD are 10 minute averages.
Wind and FDI elements in italics are averaged over less than 10 minutes. Consequently FDI values in italics should not be used in comparison with FDI
values based on a 10 minute averaging period.
GFDI observations are only available for the 25 point forecast locations within the Fire Weather Forecast. This is because the curing values here are drawn from that product and are therefore not available for other AWS locations.

FIRE WEATHER BULLETIN
Bureau of Meteorology
Victoria
At 2312 EDT on Wednesday, 16 December 2015
Wind and FDI elements in BOLD are 10 minute averages.
Wind and FDI elements in italics are averaged over less than 10 minutes. Consequently FDI values in italics should not be used in comparison with FDI
values based on a 10 minute averaging period.
GFDI observations are only available for the 25 point forecast locations within the Fire Weather Forecast. This is because the curing values here are drawn from that product and are therefore not available for other AWS locations.

FIRE WEATHER BULLETIN
Bureau of Meteorology
Victoria
At 2312 EDT on Thursday, 17 December 2015
Wind and FDI elements in BOLD are 10 minute averages.
Wind and FDI elements in italics are averaged over less than 10 minutes. Consequently FDI values in italics should not be used in comparison with FDI values based on a 10 minute averaging period.
Document 226
GFDI observations are only available for the 25 point forecast locations within the Fire Weather Forecast. This is because the curing values here are drawn
from that product and are therefore not available for other AWS locations.

FIRE WEATHER BULLETIN
Bureau of Meteorology
Victoria
At 2312 EDT on Friday, 18 December 2015
Wind and FDI elements in BOLD are 10 minute averages. Wind and FDI elements in italics are averaged over less than 10 minutes. Consequently FDI values in italics should not be used in comparison with FDI
values based on a 10 minute averaging period.
GFDI observations are only available for the 25 point forecast locations within the Fire Weather Forecast. This is because the curing values here are drawn from that product and are therefore not available for other AWS locations.

FIRE WEATHER BULLETIN
Bureau of Meteorology
Victoria
At 2312 EDT on Saturday, 19 December 2015
Wind and FDI elements in BOLD are 10 minute averages.
Wind and FDI elements in italics are averaged over less than 10 minutes. Consequently FDI values in italics should not be used in comparison with FDI
values based on a 10 minute averaging period.
GFDI observations are only available for the 25 point forecast locations within the Fire Weather Forecast. This is because the curing values here are drawn from that product and are therefore not available for other AWS locations.

FIRE WEATHER BULLETIN
Bureau of Meteorology
Victoria
At 2312 EDT on Sunday, 20 December 2015
Wind and FDI elements in BOLD are 10 minute averages.
Wind and FDI elements in italics are averaged over less than 10 minutes. Consequently FDI values in italics should not be used in comparison with FDI values based on a 10 minute averaging period.
Document 229
GFDI observations are only available for the 25 point forecast locations within the Fire Weather Forecast. This is because the curing values here are drawn
from that product and are therefore not available for other AWS locations.

FIRE WEATHER BULLETIN
Bureau of Meteorology
Victoria
At 2312 EDT on Monday, 21 December 2015
Wind and FDI elements in BOLD are 10 minute averages. Wind and FDI elements in italics are averaged over less than 10 minutes. Consequently FDI values in italics should not be used in comparison with FDI
values based on a 10 minute averaging period.
GFDI observations are only available for the 25 point forecast locations within the Fire Weather Forecast. This is because the curing values here are drawn from that product and are therefore not available for other AWS locations.
