Yeah I noticed that when checking out the weather + jetstream earlier. I guess when this stuff forms over the ocean it would turn into a cyclone, but since it is over land it would just mean some wind and rain.

wow, is there a way to look back in the history of the images (over the last day or two) to see how it formed I wonder?

Its a mid-level low (from what I can see) so it doesn't show on the synoptic charts. Have a look here and see if it helps: http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/re...nds/winds.html

Yep , saw it this morning .... really nice pair of logrithmic sprirals of cloud , and looked like supercell had formed over the Barossa Valley , and was dumping heaps of rain.

It's a particularly spectacular summer heat low ( trough ) and has been drawing hot and very humid air in from the Kimberley Region for the last couple of days.

Nothing really unusual about it .... but made an interesting image on the national composite radar and satellite image.
