Forecasts for Northern Rivers seems a little way out because they saying light showers only for next few days expect tomorrow going for sunny. There were some reports of soft hail in Lismore area today with occasional wind gusts up to 70km/hr. The temperature now is 14.7C which is very cold. I have took few photos of nice small hail showers plus rainbows and base structures today. More to come.

Looking good for dry month of July! We need is rain. Sadly we are below average rainfall so far this year :lol:

[Supercell Hunters]

Synoptic Situation

A low in the eastern Tasman Sea will be a slow moving feature. In conjunction with a high pressure ridge to the south of the mainland it will generate a SW/SE air flow about the coastal waters during the forecast period. Winds are expected to remain strong at times in the northern waters through into Wednesday, with only a gradual easing trend. A trough developing in Eastern Bass Strait on Thursday should freshen the winds later in the week. There is presently a moderate to heavy swell about the coast and whilst this should gradually ease over the next day, a large swell is forecast to approach the central and northern coastal parts overnight Wednesday in association with the Tasman Sea low.

Synoptic Situation

A strong high lies over the southwestern Tasman Sea. The high will move slowly towards New Zealand on Wednesday. A low pressure system is expected to pass through the southern ocean south of Tasmania late on Thursday. A weak trough associated with this low may affect southern NSW coastal waters, but is more likely to remain south of NSW.
