"...don’t think any activity will occur along the coast at this stage"


Weather Stuff:

Currently the thunderstorm activity appears to be centred to the SW of Tassie, see photo. I don’t think any activity will occur along the coast at this stage. It was a rather warm night with Devonport recording 19’C as a min temp around 5am. Winds are remaining light but may freshen once the front has moved thru later this arvo. Tomorrow should be fine with another front to cross during Sunday.

Fishing Stuff:

Has anyone been fishing lately?

Isolated thunderstorms developing during tomorrow?

Weather Stuff:

Today has seen things warm up a bit, well at least in the North of the State. Launceston reached 31’C, Hobart made 21’C and of course Devonport reached 24’C. Hobart’s temp has been affected by the strong sea-breeze. There is a trough and cold front moving in, which the BOM are forecasting possible thunderstorms during the afternoon tomorrow. I don’t see any tropical inflows but something may develop in the next 24hrs?

Fishing Stuff:

I guess they’re still swimming around out there somewhere?

I feel autumn is just around the corner.


Weather Stuff:

The north easterly air flow has brought in the low scud cloud to the coast with some very light drizzle here and there. The Sat pic for 12pm today shows an interesting area of “local” circulation evident by the spiralling cloud near King Island, (See Photo). There is a possibility that a trough over the mainland may cause some unstable conditions over the next few days but just how unstable, who knows?

February has seen a cooling off and still a tendency for more westerly flows which certainly hasn’t been the trend for many years. Summer usually sees frequent easterly flows with rather humid conditions. Last week seen snow on Mt Wellington one morning but by the end of that day the max temp was around 27’C. I feel autumn is just around the corner.

Fishing Stuff:

Visited Lamberts Dam a couple of Sunday’s ago and most of the algae has cleared. The insect activity was quite amazing and some fish were rising about the place. I managed to hook, what appeared to be a rainbow, on an Alpha lure but lost it due to some technical gear problems. Last Friday arvo I flicked a grasshopper about the Mersey. Only seen little fish working the water.
