Storms have been ongoing throughout Victoria over the past couple of days spreading into NSW. Some interesting pulse cells developed with some impressive anvil shields due to deep convection. Temperatures in the upper levels at anvil level have been rather cooler than I have seen it for many years. So the lapse rates in the upper portion of the atmosphere have allowed for some rapid development including the odd overshoot on pulse cells even. This has also enhanced the conditions for hail development once storms can tap into the upper atmosphere. Mid level temperatures have also been rather cool warming up yesterday as the ridge strengthened. We’ll see what happens over the next several days. At least moisture is no issue from now on. Sydney and the North Coast should be in the firing line over the coming days.

There seems to be consistency in an approaching heavy rainfall event flooding for NE New South Wales and SE Queensland over the coming days. WOW – predictions of up to 700mm is quite phenomenal! Hope the farmers are able to get some good rains out of this system and the drought is broken. It is so hearbreaking to see just one event after another miss the most needed areas of the state!
As to the photos of the baby, I leave it up to Imelda to get them prepared. Perhaps she may upload a few more soon.
