This pretty cool shelf cloud rolled by Sawtell today. Earlier while I was working I heard a fair bit of thunder from in side Target.
This is viewed from Bonville Creek
rain made it hard to shoot lightning, I tried from inside my car however.

Re: NENSW/SEQLD Storms 1st October 2011
Thanks for your report Jase.
Been a very active day but very coastal with much better dew points along the NSW Far North Coast than elsewhere. There's been pretty much storms just off the Gold Coast and Tweed Coast since dawn (and some of those over land). The best event was a likely supercell that formed locally and tracked over Kingscliff. Plenty of hail reported from that. Check the webcam timelapse images.
Activity became more widespread early afternoon as a brief wind shift improved moisture. Had a storm here at 2.15pm which dropped the temp to 12, saw some updraft lightning and copped 2.5mm in a short time.
It was clear for a while then a line moved in from the WNW. It was very weak at first but then tapped into the Northern Rivers moisture and developed a nice shelf cloud feature. Hail was reported at Ballina when it passed through there.

NENSW/SEQLD Storms 1st October 2011
A few pictures from around my neighbourhood this arvo, the fast moving nature of these storms didn't warrant a full chase.
First round of action was a bit featureless but did manage some nice mammatus at the back end. Also the storm off Evans Head around 2pm.
Wasn't sure if the next line would be all the inspiring but it did surprise with some nice structure accompanied by gusty winds and some big fat heavy rain drops which must have been verging on hail. CG activity really started to ramp up as the cell approached the coast probably due to the interaction of better moisture on the coastal fringe. Anyway here's the pics from around the corner from my place.
Closer shot of feature on right of pic above. There was some nice upmotion at this point.
The southern end of the shelf cloud feature was interesting as well.
Couldn't resist a panorama….it just looked so good. Apologies for the powerlines, it was a case of shoot as quick as possible and the lines were unavoidable.
Hope you enjoy,
Cheers Jason
