The colour coded level of alertness is a follows:
Blue not likely but the potential is there
Indigo quite probable
Violet quite on the cards
Orange yes looks likely

Thanks.TonyT wrote:Full credit, well done John a good call. Whatever you are smoking I want some!TonyT wrote: Crikey, what are you smoking John? I only put "risk of showers" in the forecast...
Well, I'm smoking for a possible 3 on Monday and a 3 for one day next week, I'm not too sure at the moment
don't forget, I still have a 4 for tomorrow, this depends on cloud clearance

John I thought a (1) which you mentioned for tomora meant a very low chance of TS happening according to your scale on page one but what u r saying is probly a 4 or a 5 correct me if iam wrong on that but the number you put up on potenial code is a 1 and thats vewry low risk.?
I could be wrong.
Not that it's a problem either just thought id point it out.
Cheers

I think that because of cloud cover TS risk is quite low ...but if a thunderstorm does happen tomorrow, it does.
I never had a thunderstorm warning for today, despite MetService's high risk in their Severe/Potential Thunderstorm Outlook. I thought that the situ was not the right one for TS development despite the unstablness of the atmosphere. Too cloudy.
