This was a nice surprise and went supercell as it hit near Katoomba and north towards Bell
Went for a storm chase to the Blue Mountains and litereally drove to a developing supercell! After stopping near Katoomba after getting structure, I headed back north playing catchup to see what the hail size
was. Some occasional large thumps on the vehicle indicated at least golf balls but as I neared Bell, the size were larger and there were hail drifts!Not for Media Use Licensing Available at www.extremestorms.com.au

Very nice. Giant hail in the warning verified
Had been commenting about the overshoot on vis (04:00z image)
Nice pics mate
Awesome photos!
Looked VERY nice from Hornsby from a distance 👍🏻
Yes well thanks for the evidence – unlike your good selves, I’m changing my return route to Sydney tomorrow arvo. I’m sure you experts will find more ;)
Nice!!!
Beautiful!
Lee Balfour as much as we would loved to have chased this Blue Mtns cell this afternoon, We should be happy we didn’t encounter these hail stones! I’m content with our mammatus cloud shots over Sydney anyway
Very nice, also a little surprised how severe the storms ended up being given the sounding?
Thanks for the report. Great pics!
Should be Kaboomba !
So much to moving to SEG😂
Watched it unfolding on radar. A few areas copped it.
Flying into Sydney around 2:30 local time there was a powerful overshoot visible in the storm system that went through the Katoomba/Blackheath area. It looked quite organised at the time! These two photos are 7 minutes apart
Beautiful!
Awesome!
