Massive dust storm sweeping across Eastern South Australia and North Western Victoria

[Gavin O'Brien]

Hi all, 

The satellite images show a massive dust storm sweeping across Eastern South Australia and Northwestern Victoria extending towards Melbourne ahead of the cold front. It's possible the northern edge might cross the Canberra region overnight. While winds are a very light Northerly now, the front will bring quite strong gusty North westerlies with it overnight. It has been raining slightly most of the afternoon here in Canberra with the cloud base below 1000 feet. Only 4.2 mm here so far, 37mm for the month.

Cheers,

Gavin

Hi Gav.

 

Tried to have a look at it from Weatherzone but it appears to be having problems. Where can I see the image you are looking at?

 

Regards Bussy

I actually had a look at the Himawari dust channel imagery early today and that dust showed up incredibly well on there (pink in this imagery below).

Early satpic images from today of the dust…

First one was when towns like Peterborough, Orrooroo, and Jamestown were drowned in it. Gradually it moved & developed eastwards and south through the Riverland and Mallee.
Peterborough image courtesy Victoria Kenney.
Loxton AP webcam image as it went through there.

As for down in the south in the city and coastal areas, its been rather hairy, with 80-100km/hr winds, high tides, heavy swells, and coastal erosion & inundation. At least a couple of jetties haven’t survived.  There has been some rain thankfully, but not much inland and in the agricultural regions that badly need it.

Hi Bussy

It was on the BOM website, they have a link to the Japanese Satellite which is very useful. Unfortunately you will have missed it since the loop is only 3 hours long.

Certainly looked impressive and confirmed on the ABC TV news tonight along with storm damage along the SA coast.

Cheers Gavin
