NE NSW Storms 30 October 2011

Publish on Facebook

DPs have improved here overnight with solid 18-20s throughout the Northern Rivers. Actually Yamba has nearly 24. Northerly winds blowing. Sky has a moisture haze storm day look to it.

The first upper trough moves through this afternoon destabilsing the region. Shear is reasonable and better around the Grafton area so will probably target there at first. At 30/20 CAPE is over 2000 but we’ll see.

There is another upper trough after midnight so could expect to see more showers or perhaps storms then as well.

    Warnings are already out for the Hunter vicinity. A complex of storms must already be achieving severe limits. Storms are widespread and fast moving in the region.

    Chased down to Grafton area yesterday and caught the early storm that developed near there. Structure was nice and it appeared like a decent barrage of hail would have fallen WSW of town. I heard a lot of thunder but did not see much lightning from this one.

    It weakened just south of Grafton but still managed fling out a microburst of hail 1 to 1.5cm diameter. A few branches fell off trees but winds were not severe.

    The flanking line was impressive.
