Hi all,
excellent afternoon chase to the mountains after finishing my last job.
initially there were 3 cells I observed going up over the mountains early afternoon.
the nthrn most one was the largest. But during my trip up into the mnts. a 4th cell
went up on the nth side of the large nthrn most cell
Got to Mt Piddington lookout ( a few km b4 Mt Victoria) ~ 3pm in time to settle in
and await the onslaught. At the time of my arrival there, the storm cell was still
~ 10 - 15k to the west and was electrically very active with many strobing CG's and
also many embedded flashes.
There was a good green colour to the cell and eventually the gustfront arrived with
gusty wind rain and some hail
Also photo'ed that nice mammatus on the way up through Faulconbridge area.
Cheers
Dave N
