There's nothing to that system, I reckon the bureau are out of their trees again. Laurie's arrows don't reflect anything of the like, and the low cell is still at 1013hPa. Still, if it follows through to the morning as per Laurie's prediction there could be one of those rare opportunities for a before work kite. 
how many times have we cancelled or postponed engagements because of a days worth of lauries' predicted green arrows, only to end up being able to fart stronger than the actual wind..... my post supreme forum overlord, was in jest
Of course, but he is predicting less than the bureau, that's my point.
I just couldn't piece together your sentence - his tree the bureau are out on? Or out of? Or is he out of his own tree? 
It will come.......
But i say fk it for this weekend
Lets hope its all good for next week when i have time.
Personally, I reckon Laurie is out of his tree!
There are possible 60 knot gusts south of Margaret River, and maybe 55 knots squalls in perth. Depends how much the cell "tightens" .. at the moment, looks like it's going to be pretty savage by the time it hits Adelaide/Melbourne.
Looks like 5m or 7m weather again. Smallest I have is 9m!
p.s. here's our favourite modelling system:
I was watching it all day and finally decided to go for a drive to check it out down at Brighton (Perth) -
It hit around 4.30 or so along with the rain. I was fully lit on my 7m for about half an hour and then it backed off and started to fluke around. Though for that half an hour it was so nice to get some right handers on my natural tack.
I would say that perhaps only half the time the Northerly winds predicted in Perth actually eventuate.
Me too watched and watched and got grumpier and grumpier
Hope that it improves next week.
Thus far winter has sucked ass. No NW'ers to speak of.
Waiting and waiting for Cables to turn it on
