This low pressure is intensifying into strong low is moving SW'ly direction. Huge convection has flared in it. Heavy showers developing further in our east heading west'ly. Hope we get more showers that are unexpected.

[Supercell Hunters]

La nina developing, it seems coming back! Very warm today partly cloudy skies. Severe storms are back on Monday.

[Supercell Hunters]

Forecasters predicted some high based storms across the NE NSW region into SE QLD later tomorrow afternoon. Convective outlooked predicted could be severe for damaging wind gusts and large hailstones in the included region.

Laps predicted around 10-20mm of rain. Lifted Index around -2 with CAPE of 800kjs for far NE corner of state.

Bring it back summer severe storms!

Looking excellent for today's severe thunderstorms, dry mid level with jet stream over our region would lean to HP supercells in ne nsw into se qld afterwards.

Monday

A low pressure trough lingering over northeast NSW will trigger further showers and thunderstorms on Monday. There is the chance of large hail, heavy rainfall and damaging winds within some of these storms. Storms may also become severe over inland and northwest QLD. Showers and storms will continue across the tropics as moisture and instability increases over the region as the monsoon trough draws closer to the Australian mainland.

[Supercell Hunters]

Convective outlook showing huge amount of powerful storms in for NE NSW only today with very extremely high risk of damaging wind gusts and large hailstones. Here the convective outlook:

Friday

Thunderstorms are expected to fire up across most of NSW on Friday ahead of a low pressure trough. Strong winds and large hail are a possibilibity within some of these storms. Damaging wind gusts are more likely to occur in the southern part of the state while large hail is more likely in the north. Heavy rain is less likely today due to the relatively dry atmosphere. An unstable atmosphere will trigger further heavy showers and thunderstorms across much of northern Australia.
