Hi Petedavo, good find !
in the previous thread you posted links to a Trove newspaper article.
I didn't notice this 19-6-88 synoptic and satellite image until today .
It was kind of obscured off the page .
Its another great archived weather cast .
Within the details it shows a cold night -
2° degrees Celsius on the 19th june,
Rain across perth and a cold Front , on the sunday 19th .
quotes from article :
"Cold fronts in the stream are particularly fast moving" -snip
Expected Developments:
"The current frontal lines near western Australia" -snipped.

Weather info ; 3pm sunday 19th june synoptic chart.
Satellite picture 'yesterday' Saturday (18th)
With cloud cover & rain statistics .
All this Boils down to meaning imo ,
is a timeframe when potentially JC disappeared and her car may have gone into the ocean.
Maybe some luck happened for the perpetrator/s, & got lucky in escaping.
Out of the 3 nights,
I think the 1st night has the best odds .
Wonder if this is why there wasn't any witnesses on cottesloe beach in the early dawn hours on monday 20th ?
Could it have been vacant perhaps due to the persistent inclement winter weather conditions ?
Does anyone know how to find out if there really was surf clubbies or beach inspectors at the time ?
